Safety, trust & environment

I like to get the full run down of your dog's needs, temperament, eating habits, favorite activities and toys, potty schedule, physical limitations and anything else you think will help me provide the best care for your pet. I also think it would be a good idea for your dog to meet me in person for an initial intro if that fits into your time frame.

Information Rod R. would like to know about your pet

As mentioned above, please share any special needs, preferences, feeding instructions, potty schedule, fears, triggers, allergies, ailments and any other details I should know about your pet in order to provide proper care for them.

A typical day

I love walking or running with dogs, so can take them around the neighborhood or on nearby trails. I can also provide play time activities with their favorite chew toys or balls to fetch. If they're well-socialized, I don't mind bringing them to local dog parks to run around and play with other dogs for a while.

Pet care experience

I've had pets all my life, primarily dogs. I've been the loving human for a 17-year-old Chiweenie -- my chill, fur daughter, Coco -- since she was a pup. I've also cared for pets and house sat for several friends and family over the years. With so many years of pet parenting behind me, I'll approach caring for your dog as if they were my own. I live quite an active lifestyle, so I'm happy to take your dog for long walks or jogs, depending on your dog's ability and your preferences. I can also just visit and pay them as much attention as they need. I enjoy travel with purpose, so I can house sit and/or care for your pet while I'm visiting your area. Just let me know your unique situation and requirements. I'll do my best to cater your pet care experience to fit all your needs!

Rod is AMAZING! We were very impressed on how well prepared and thorough he was leading up to the sitting of our pup. He is highly communicative which we greatly appreciate and takes AMAZING photos. We HIGHLY recommend him and will be working a lot more with him, going forward. Thanks again, Rod for taking such great care of Astro and for the invaluable peace of you mind that gave us during our trip.

Rod met up with Gomer every morning for their walkabout! Gomer waited for him by the gate every morning while I was away. Rod gave Gomer the needed exercise and company in a professional and reliable manner! Thank you Rod!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
