About Franklin

Hey! My name is Franklin and I currently live with my shepherd mix, Fry. 

I rescued him from an SPCA animal shelter in New York, USA when he was just under a year old. His paperwork said he was taken away from his original owner by the authorities due to animal cruelty so he had severe issues with separation anxiety and was fearful of other dogs. After much work and training, Fry is now an incredibly well behaved member of the family who can now be alone for hours, get along very well with other dogs, and is very affectionate 😁 

He has also traveled to 7 countries and has lived in 4! 

My motivation for signing up here is that I simply love dogs, especially training and helping any dogs that have behavioral issues. I believe I have a lot to offer with my experience so I'm happy to help anyone in need of a dog sitter that is responsible, knowledgeable, and can handle dogs of any breed, size, and personality.

I know how to be a good pack leader, understand dog/pack mentality, and, above all, love spending time with them 😁 I am comfortable handling dogs of ALL sizes, behavioural problems, temperament, and breeds. In the past I've cared for and trained large Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Shiba Inus, American Bullies, Border Collies, Labradors, rescued dogs, and more. 

My goal is to make sure your pup enjoys his/her stay with us and to allow you a stress free holiday knowing your dog is in perfectly good and safe hands.

If your dog has any behavioral issues please please please let me know in advance because it helps me handle them better. I am happy to train your pup with anything you need at no additional cost. Please note, in extreme cases where your dog is known to exhibit extreme behaviour, I may ask you to book a few days of day care or house visits under your supervision while I gain the trust of your dog (e.g., highly territorial, severe separation anxiety, fearful and known to bite).

Please note: on Nov 10th, 17th, and 24th I am only available for late evening house visits and walks. Housesitting bookings remain unaffected.

Franklin was excellent with my dog Delphi, she can be a handful but she adored Franklin and he even managed to do some training with her! I would highly recommend Franklin 👌

Mina stayed with Franklin for a week and it went very well. I've got daily updated and pictures and I could see that Mina was very well looked after and she enjoyed her little holiday with Franklin.

If you need a dog sitter - Franklin is your guy :)
