Pet care experience

Dogs aren't pets, their family!

I have lived with dogs since I was a teenager (a long time ago) and have developed a love for animals and I look at them as a part of my family instead of a pet. I have found that I can't live without a dog.

Our dog Arlo is always so happy whenever he stays at Franklin’s house! Franklin is incredibly accommodating. We had a unique situation with two bookings and needed to pick Arlo up for a day in between, and he was kind enough to work with us and let Arlo stay. Arlo absolutely loves spending time with their dog Zi, the two of them play nonstop and it’s clear Arlo feels right at home. We always feel at ease knowing he’s in such a caring and fun environment. Highly recommend!

We left our dog Arlo with Franklin for two weeks, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! Arlo was clearly well cared for and came home happy and healthy. Franklin did a great job keeping him active and engaged, and Arlo especially loved playing with their dog—they became fast friends! We’ll definitely be booking again in the future.

Franklin and his wife were so welcoming to our family and pup. I received pictures and updates during my dog's stay, and my dog had an awesome time. Always great communication, very responsive, and just overall a superb experience. Highly recommend!

Arlo had a blast during his stay at Franklin's house. After our regular sitter stopped his business, we tried 3 different dog sitters. None of the 3 fits well with our dog. He would come home looking unhappy and scared. I'm glad we found Franklin who has an adorable retriever that plays well with our malamute. Franklin has been sending us daily pictures and updates about our dog. Our dog looks so happy and truly enjoyed his stay. They have a big fenced yard where they were able to run around and have fun. He also was able to accommodate us with our last minute booking and short notice. Will definitely bring arlo back! Looking forward to our next vacation knowing our dog is with good sitter.
