The Dog Companion

Hello my name is Frankie! I go above and beyond for your pup every single day! I do Rover full time and to me Rover is my dream job. I get to take care of your furry friends and that makes me grateful for that responsibility. Your pet is your family so under my care they are always my top priority. I live in an apartment streets away from a park. However, my favorite activity is taking your pups on adventures to different parks and locations! I make sure your pups are safe and having fun! In my home your pups will receive much affection and high quality care. I've always loved animals and am happy to care for them with the best of my support and time. Whether it be to pay attention to their dietary or physical needs, whatever your instructions are they will be followed verbatim. To ease your mind I am reachable anytime during their stay, and I will update you daily on how your pup is doing, as well as, send you great pictures. I am not obligated to send videos but I do because it feels more vibrant. I hope you consider me and please if you have any questions or concerns let me know and I will answer them promptly. Thank you!

I booked Frankie to walk my Pitbull today and had a great experience. What really stood out to me right away was that, unlike other dog walkers, he didn’t ask to meet my dog beforehand or question his behavior. That gave me the impression that he’s confident in his skills and comfortable handling larger dogs of any temperament. My dog is very strong and Frankie handled him with no issues at all. He was on time, extremely friendly, and very communicative throughout the walk. I also appreciated the pictures he sent, which gave me peace of mind. I’ll definitely be booking with him again!

Frankie was awesome! He always kept us updated about Choco and his walks, followed all feeding and care instructions carefully, and was very responsive and communicative throughout.

Frankie answered my request at the last minute to care for Layla for a week. He is very reliable and took excellent care of her, and I will definitely use his services again in the future!

Safety, trust & environment

I always take advice on what the owners of the pets have since it gives me much insight into the personality/mannerisms of the pet. I also make sure to follow instruction in case the pet may have a special need or a certain routine.

A typical day

If a dog has toys I will most certainly play with them to make sure they are enjoying themselves. I also drive to different locations and do very long walks! I enjoy making sure your best friends are exploring and having fun during their vacation! I try to get creative with the pictures and videos updates. I also enjoy running with dogs. I do not dog parks as some owners and their pets are unpredictable. I do have an exception and that is going early or a bit later in the evening when the dog park is empty. I do this as many dogs need to stretch their legs and do their zoomies without worry to their safety.

If you are interested in my services please understand that this is my living and I go above and beyond every single day. I ask that you do not take advantage of my kindness because I am indeed kind and flexible to many needs and adjustments. I do not give discounts. I do not hold dates so bookings are first come first serve. If I accept the request then please confirm as soon as possible as I really cannot holds dates. I do not allow people in my home anymore for me and my girlfriend’s safety. We had a clients friend not associated with Rover give us an unpleasant uneasy situation so I must stick to that rule. Day of drop off I will pickup your pup and everything else outside my home. If the owner of the ROVER account is not meeting me during drop off or pickup of a pup please let me know who is. When reaching out please try to respond to the following: I can do meet and greets in front of my home or different parks in Bayonne, Jersey City, and Hoboken. Also, I don’t mind at your local target! Please make sure to let me know if your dog is hyper aggressive against other dogs and or people. I don’t mind giving extra special attention but this is for everyone’s safety. If you believe your dog may be a biter please disclose that to me as well, especially if there are any spots that are sensitive like petting below the neck. It would be great if you could describe your pets behavior as well so I can make sure they have a comfortable stay! Is your pup house trained? Can I leave your pup in my home without him/her destroying anything? (I step out to do 1-2 30 minute client walks a day. If no then please bring a long a crate as I have trusted pups before and have gotten shoes and furniture chewed on. What are the feeding times? What are the water times or should I leave the bowl? What are the times that your wonderful pet must do his/her business? Does your dog have any medical conditions and is there any medication I must be giving? Is your amazing best bud energetic or relaxed and does he/she enjoy exercise through long walks? I also do not have any breed preferences. I love every breed because each has unique characteristics. I have taken care of Chihuahuas, Goldendoodles, Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, Yorkshire Terriers, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Pointers, Australian Cattle Dogs, Pitbulls, Pomeranians, and several other kinds! I have had to cancel on 1 client out of 165+ clients and it was due to my sister giving birth. I would say that was the most exceptional of reasons. I take this responsibility seriously and always do right by my client and their best friends!
