Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog like walk, I like walk.
Unfortunately I cannot call myself a professional canine ambulator (yet!!!), but I like walking and I love animals. Dogs also like walking, and humans--which is what I am--are a type of animal, so this feels like a match made in heaven. I am a conscientious, careful, and considerate cat dad. I do not currently have a dog, but it would be my greatest pleasure to walk your dog in similar fashion to that of my previous dog, Bill (RIP), my parent's dog, Millie, or my mate's dog, Kai.

Safety, trust & environment
I have poop bags. I will pick up poop, but only poop left by your dog. I will not pick up anyone else's poop. Sorry, but that's just how I feel. I only pick up your dog's poop because of my sense of civic doody. Your dog will drink the same water as me - the finest NYC municipal water filtered through British Berkefeld ceramic filters and lovingly poured into a stainless steel dish. As a cat-sitter you can expect the same level of care I provide my own furry friends, which means: provisioning them with the finest delicacies, twice daily litter box cleanings, and delights and diversions befitting such proud and noble creatures (for example, some fluff floating in the air or a bug so small you can barely see it.)
Ratings and reviews
Franklin was great with my Chanel. She needs mediation 2x a day and he was sure to be on time for the dose and made to sure to let me know how she is doing. She has asthma so he was a bit worried when she had an asthma attack so he made sure to check with me. He obviously genuinely cares about her well being.
Franklin was great! He took great care of our two dogs and cat.
Frank was friendly and punctual despite my eleventh hour booking. He did a great job walking my dog Milena and I recommend him.

Schedule
My schedule is flexible, though I prefer to be notified a day in advance if possible. I will get back to you as soon as I see your message but as I am not always glued to my phone there may be occasions when that means an hour or two after you sent it. I have two cats and cannot offer boarding services for this reason, but I am open to drop-ins. If you select me to walk your dog they will receive a bespoke, one-on-dog, tailored experience with no distractions (except maybe a squirrel or two). No mass-produced, factory dog-walking here, no siree. Just me and you (read: your dog). As a cat dad I am deeply familiar with feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, and clothes covered in cat hair. If you want me to look after your cat(s) while you are out of town then send me a message.

- If there is anything in particular I should know about your pet (e.g., fears, quirks, regrets, etc) then please let me know. I should add that I am not a veterinarian or dog trainer/canine expert so if you require anything of that nature then I may not be for you.
