About Frankie

Great trips have room for everyone.

Frankie is a tourism technology company setting the standard for pet-ready destinations, in Canada and internationally. Our platform connects local leaders, businesses, and pet parents so the whole journey becomes easier to create, choose, and enjoy.

◇ St. Francis likeness
Named with purpose

A generous idea with practical work behind it.

Frankie takes its name from St. Francis of Assisi, patron saint of animals, often shown with a halo and a bird on his shoulder. That inspiration becomes practical work, connecting the places, policies, people, and data that give more pet parents the confidence to travel together.

How Frankie sees the market

The destination is the product.

The hotel room is one stop in a much bigger day. The experience moves through sidewalks, patios, parks, shops, ferries, events, and the occasional unplanned hunt for a veterinarian.

Frankie gives the complete place a way to work together, helping pet parents travel with confidence while businesses and destinations grow a market with intention.

One trip, one connected place

The room is one stop; the destination is the whole day.
The details pets notice

We take trips seriously. We take the pet's opinions more seriously.

We care about useful tourism data and thoughtful product design. We care just as much about the automatic door a small dog has decided is a mortal enemy, the stretch of hot pavement that reroutes an entire walk, and the cat who rates every hotel by its window ledges. The details animals notice first tend to be the ones that make or break a trip, so we sweat them.

The people behind Frankie

Serious work, supervised by pets.

Jorg Rodig
Jorg Rodig
Co-Founder & CEO
Jorg leads Frankie's vision and destination partnerships, drawing on years across travel and hospitality. His toughest product reviewer is a dog who has never once approved of a hotel lobby on the first walk-through.
James Kim
James Kim
Co-Founder & Chief Product Officer
James leads product and design, shaping how the standard and platform actually feel to use. Redraws the whole trip if a dog develops sudden opinions about escalators. Carries napkins for exactly this.
A growing pack
Team & advisors
Behind the founders is a small team of builders and a bench of advisors across tourism, hospitality, and animal welfare. We'll introduce them here once the office pets finish their background checks.
