I fall in love with every dog I see

Pet care experience

I am a passionate dog mom and love all kinds of dogs. Throughout my childhood my family owned several dogs, cats, hamsters and other pets. When I moved to the US six years ago, I started to learn how many dogs live in shelters and are looking for their forever home, so in July 2014 I rescued a dog of my own. His name is Dunkin and he is my everything. I don’t consider him as a pet but rather as a family member. If I could I would adopt more dogs, but unfortunately I can’t so instead I would love to help out others and spend time with their dogs. I trained Dunkin by myself so I am very good at teaching basic commands as well as potty training. Dunkin and I love to go hiking, swimming and we always try to explore new parks in the area. Dunkin is very social and if you are looking for a new pal for your dog, I would be happy to bring your dog to the park with us. I am also available for individual walks, visits and house sitting. I am very patient and lovable with dogs and I am a professional at giving hugs and belly rubs. I am currently a student so I am flexible about hours. I am happy to tell you more about myself and my experiences and answer any questions you may have. I am looking forward to hear from you!

We love Franziska! She has been walking Chuly for a couple of weeks now and she has been a pleasure to work with. She responds quickly, has always been on time, and clearly loves dogs. She is very sweet and Chuly really likes her too.

Franziska has been amazing with my dog, Potato. She goes above and beyond my expectations (no kidding - she actually sometimes leaves home made dog treats). When I come home from work he's happy and clearly well exercised. His behavior and overall health has improved since Franziska began working with him, and I genuinely trust her experience and intuition when it comes to all things canine, as it shows in the results. My only complaint is that I think Potato now loves Franziska more than me, but I'll take it! In all seriousness, you will not be disappointed if you hire Franziska, and I highly recommend her to anyone.

Information Franziska K. would like to know about your pet

I don't have any breed preferences and I am comfortable with all sizes. Before sitting/walking your dog I would like to arrange a meet and greet. I would also like to know about any allergies and learn about the dog's behavior.

A typical day

I know that it is important to keep dogs mentally and physically fit. I always try to challenge Dunkin's mind by teaching him new tricks or playing games like hide and seek. We also love to go on long walks and hikes. Dunkin's favorite park is Lake Mohegan because he loves to swim and I try to take him as often as possible. We would love a playdate with your dog and take him/her along.
