This is me with my former dog named Puppy (short for Puppykat, you know...since she was a cat-like dog ) She was a great dog and could be very sweet. She was NOT always so nice to Frankie, however. 🤨
Sometimes an only pet will resent newcomers to the household. It takes a patient and compassionate owner to get through this sometimes difficult transition period. I can say from personal experience that the end result is always worth the effort! 😎

Frankie and Sameera can’t wait to get the weekend started. Me too! 😎How about you and your pups?

It was a great food truck event in Collingswood 08108 last night.

Since my name is Dan and I am a chicken tender (in addition to being a dog walker) this particular truck caught my attention!🤣

The yard life…

08/20/2024

Dogs who come to Camp Frankie for daycare or overnight stays always have access to cool clean water. Both for drinking and for swimming! 🤣

Tending chickens is not for everyone. I enjoy it though.

The best thing about it is how happy they are to see me when I show up in the morning. I open the gate of the coop to let them out to “free range”. As they head out the gate in single file each chicken pauses at my feet and waits for me to pet her!

Heading down the shore but can’t bring Fido? No worries! 😎Just Message me & I’d be happy to help.

As long as my loyal pooch Frankie approves (he’s never rejected one yet!) your dog will be set for a great time at Camp Frankie!🐾🐾😊

What a lovely day. What shall I make of it?

Kinzee wants to know if you've marked your calendars for WOOFSTOCK yet.

What’s a Woofstock? It's the VAO's biggest annual fundraiser and it is a HUGE outdoor, family and pet friendly festival. There will be all sorts of craft and retail vendors (We had over 110 vendors in 2023). There are animal rescue groups, dog demonstrations, food trucks, a beer garden, a humongous gift basket raffle, and music courtesy of our friends at Red Sky. Our personal favorite part of Woofstock is the VAO Alumni Parade where former VAO orphans get to strut their stuff (thanks to our friends at Hegeman String Band ) with their loving families. Our friend Dawn Timmeney from FOX 29 is back to emcee the fun too!

Vendor and Sponsor opportunities are now available as well! To learn more, visit our website here: https://www.vaonj.org/woofstock-2024/

In the meantime, mark your calendars for September 28th! We can't wait to see everyone at Woofstock!!

Oh, and 4 month old Kinzee is available for adoption at the VAO too! She is a FABULOUS pup, come meet her soon!

Dogs (and some chickens) seem to know that Sundays are made for chillin. Of course, for some dogs, every day is made for chillin! 🤣

FYI if you’re looking for a reliable dog walker or a great spot for doggie daycare you can count on me Dan the Pet Man!

Some new dogs jump right in to play at Camp Frankie. Others, like Milo, take a little more coaxing and patience. This little guy had severe separation anxiety at first. But within an hour or two it was completely gone. By the end of his first day he was feeling right at home! Frankie and I are looking forward to his return next week😎

Some days are just made for chillin’😎 Today’s one of them and we’re loving it!🎉

Some of my customers have 2 dogs. It’s amazing how much their personalities can vary.

One of my skills as a dog walker is to be able to identify each dogs needs and take care of them when I’m with them.

07/29/2024

In addition to dog walking I’m enjoying my life as a Chicken Tender. After a week off It’s good to be back with my girls 😊

07/27/2024

Here's Frankie doing his best to stay out of the hot sun. Enjoy the weekend friends! 😎

A little bit of mayhem can be a good thing on a sunny summer afternoon at Camp Frankie!

07/24/2024

As a dog walker I am prepared to walk outside in any conditions. Some dogs don’t like various types of weather (i.e. raining, too hot, etc) however. I am always respectful of their fears and needs and will adjust my scheduled home visits and walks accordingly.

07/22/2024

Recovering from an action packed weekend! As always, It was sooooo worth it!!!🐕😎💥

07/21/2024

It’s a treat for everyone when I bring my boy Frankie to visit his cousins in Maryland. Little girls and big dogs can be such a beautiful thing! 🥰🐕

Don’t let your dog be lonely. If you’re planning a trip and can’t take your pooch reach out to me Dan the Pet Man.

Go away with peace of mind that your baby will be having a blast with their new canine buddies at Camp Frankie!

Chickens can be surprisingly friendly sometimes. They’re silly pretty much all the time.🤪

One of Frankie’s strengths is his ability to rest anytime anywhere.

He sure loves his chairs though. This one is great because he gets to rest his heavy head! 🤣
