Fetch with Fran

23/01/2023

January 31st 2023 will be my last ever day in business with Fetch with Fran.
This hasn’t been an easy decision. It’s incredibly upsetting and heartbreaking that my wonderful business will close for good but I know deep down it’s for the best.
I started out in November 2019 and quickly Fetch with Fran went from strength to strength. March 2020 and everything ground to a halt, I went from everything to nothing. I did my best to keep my spirits up and as things began to get back to normal I was busier than ever. Recommendation after recommendation. Having to turn people away and working my absolute butt off 7 days a week. It was hard work but so worth it.
Summer 2021 I found out I was pregnant, I continued to work as best as I could but unfortunately had to take my maternity leave earlier than planned. Fast forward to now and I have a beautiful 11th month old baby boy and I’ve been back at work since September. But it’s been harder than I imagined, much harder. Trying to look after a baby, run a home, give Oscar & Archie the care & attention they need, maintain a social life (!!), run a business and be on my feet all day. All with a husband that works away! It’s become too much. I’m gutted to give up the business and job I love but I need to put myself and my family first.
The support, love, friendships and commitment from so many of you has been incredible over the 3 years. I’ll never be able to thank you enough. Some of you have stuck with me since day 1 and I’ll be so sad not to see you and your gorgeous pups again.
Who knows, maybe after a break I’ll appear again with bigger and better ideas.
Thank you for reading

Fetch with Fran is 3 🎉🥳🤩

2 months I’ve been back at work since having my baby boy Arthur 💙 and the continued support has been overwhelming. I’ve been welcomed back with open arms and I’ve enjoyed every minute of being back out with the gorgeous pups!

As the weather turns the wellies and hats are out and I look forward to my continued adventures across Stafford. I’ve become incredibly busy and won’t be taking any pups on for a while but don’t ever be afraid to message 🐶

Thank you for making Fetch with Fran what is it today! I plan to grow and grow as a business and look forward to what the future holds 🥰

Hello everyone 🙋🏻‍♀️

I am pleased to announce that I will be returning to work in September 🎉

I have had some spaces for weekly dog walks become available so if you or anyone you know might be interested please don’t hesitate to contact me via social media or email ([email protected]) 🐶

Early on Mr FWF was sent away with work for 8 weeks. Oscar and Archie really stepped up and become the best big brothers possible ⭐️ I don't know what I'd have done without their happy faces keeping us company 🥰

Unfortunately whilst we’ve been away Archie has had the majority of his tail removed 😢 he’s doing much better and thank you for all of the messages! 💙

I can’t wait to be back out walking with all of my furry friends 😍

Apologies for the silence on social media!

March 3rd 2022 our beautiful baby boy Arthur Alexander arrived 💙

Oscar and Archie have adapted so well. They’ve been very understanding and patient with their little brother. They’ve been spoilt with new toys, treats and lots of walks at their favourite places 🐶

Thank you for all the well wishes, cards and gifts 🥰

I’ll be pretty quiet on here for the foreseeable future as we enjoy and settle into life as a family of 5 👦🏻👩🏻👶🏻🐶🐶

25/12/2021

The Christmas presents are all delivered, car has been valeted & crates removed, Oscar & Archie are in the Christmas spirit and I’ve got a lovely glass of (non alcoholic) fizz in hand 🥂

What an amazing year it’s been for Fetch with Fran. We’ve had a solid group of awesome pups that have stuck with us through it all and I can’t thank their wonderful mum’s & dad’s enough for being so understanding and supportive 🥰

Although sad to be starting my maternity leave earlier than planned (I’ll miss all of those furry faces so much!) I’m ready to start planning and organising for our baby boy to arrive in March! 💙

Thank you to everyone for your kind words, cards & gifts. We’re feeling truly spoilt.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year 🎅🏻🎄

We have some very exciting news; the Fetch with Fran team will be expanding March 2022 💙💗

Thank you to my amazing pup owners that have been so understanding and accommodating when I’ve needed time off.

What a wonderfully wet and windy couple of weeks 🌧 autumn is well and truly here which means the car is stocked with towels and drying coats ready for those muddy paws!

Lots of group walks with my fabulous dogs. Running through the hills at Cannock Chase, ducking and diving as they play at Doxey. Swimming and ball chasing through the meadows and along the river. So many incredible adventures!

We’d love to welcome the gorgeous Poppy and cheeky Taffy to the Fetch with Fran pack 💜

Next month Fetch with Fran turns 1 🥳
To celebrate this we’ll be putting together a Christmas themed hamper for your amazing pooch to win (along with some human goodies)! This hamper will be raffled and 100% of the profits will be donated to the local & incredible rescue Boycie’s Bridge 🥰

We’ve had a very busy few weeks here at Fetch with Fran and we’ve loved every minute.

I’m incredibly proud and overwhelmed to say we are now at capacity and won’t be able to welcome any new furry friends to the Fetch with Fran pack for the foreseeable future 😁

We’ve got an incredible group of doggo’s and owners on board and I cannot thank you enough for all of the support and love 🥰

Here’s some snaps from the past couple of weeks. Enjoy! 💙🐾

Today Penny demonstrated wonderfully how important it is to have a well equipped car 🤣
Water, shampoo, a brush, towels and a drying coat later and she was ready for home 🥳

What an awesome day!! A 0630 alarm to kick start a long but absolutely worthwhile Wednesday. 13 wonderful dogs I’ve had the pleasure of walking today 😍

Long walks, short walks, drop in’s, daycare and a puppy play date. We do it all ☺️

Now for a hot chocolate and some exciting admin & planning 🤩
