“I’m glad I came across Franklin on Rover. It was my first time using Rover and I am happy I did. Franklin is nice and my dog gets super excited when she sees him (which is always a good sign). Franklin sends me pics from his walk and gives me updates from their walks which I appreciate. I would def recommend Franklin.”

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, I bring a deep understanding of animal behavior, along with a calm, confident approach to every pet I work with. My background includes specialized care for both energetic puppies in need of training reinforcement and gentle, attentive support for senior dogs who require a slower pace and extra comfort. What sets me apart is my commitment to individualized care. I tailor each visit or session based on your dog’s specific needs—whether it's administering medication, practicing leash etiquette, or simply providing consistent, loving companionship. I also prioritize communication, providing real-time updates and detailed summaries so you’re always in the loop. This isn’t just pet sitting—it’s professional, compassionate care built on trust, patience, and genuine love for animals. My lovely wife & I work from home, which allows us ample time and full focus to care for your pets throughout the day. This flexibility means I can provide attentive, consistent care tailored to your cat’s needs without rushing. I’m available for bookings Monday through Friday, offering reliable visits that fit seamlessly into your pet’s routine. With me, your cat will receive the loving care and companionship they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities, whether caring for them in my home or yours. I live in a secure apartment complex with a fully fenced dog park, providing a safe, controlled space where dogs can run, play, and socialize freely. Additionally, there’s ample yard space nearby for them to explore and frolic in a natural, stimulating environment. I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-friendly atmosphere that encourages trust and relaxation. Every outing and interaction is carefully supervised to ensure your pet’s well-being at all times. You can feel confident knowing your furry friend is in caring, responsible hands.
