Information Rod F. would like to know about your pet

I enjoy the big dogs that want to romp. The little dogs that want to cuddle are ok. I average 100 ball throws a day.

A typical day

I like being outside working in the yard and tool shed. But Snuggling up to watch old movies is my all time favorite thing to do.

Animals are our friends and family

Pet care experience

I have been an animal lover since the day I was born, my first pet was a german shepherd bloodhound mix named Rebel who went every where with me. He was my friend and protector for most of my young life. After having that dog as my own I came to understand that dogs are a real part of family life. I have always had dogs and cats and other critters in my life. I guess I can say i am partial to big dogs, but I love them all. I do not have a pet right now as our last dog (Rokky) who was with us for ten years got sick and had to be put down. I am excited to make some new animal friends if others will share their animals with me. Please keep in mind that we watch multiple dogs from multiple homes. We have been doing this for a long time and have only had one incident where the owner did not listen and let their dog loose prematurely. If you feel like your dog needs to be the only dog then we might not be the best fit for your needs.

We highly recommend Rod. He and his wife were wonderful with our three dogs. We got pictures of them and Rod was in touch with us throughout the day, We also got a picture of our Chiweenie watching tv with him. We highly recommend Rod and we will definitely take our dogs back. Thank you Rd and Renee for loving our dogs.

My 2 large hunting dogs loved their Vacation with Rod! They stayed with him for a week in his home with a large fenced backyard. He sent us pictures of them being cute and relaxing on his comfy couch.

Rod was great. He and Cosmo became good friends quickly. When we picked Cosmo up it was apparent that he had made a new friend.
