Your Dog Will Feel Right At Home!

Pet care experience

I have been a dog lover all my life. Having one of my own, I jog or bike him 1-2 times a day giving them plenty of exercise. I believe in the "Cesar Millan" way of training ("The Dog Whisperer" on the Discovery Channel) where exercise, discipline and affection are incorporated in that order. We have a large backyard for your dog(s) to play in and our 3,000 sq. ft home can more than accommodate a dog of any size. We also live walking distance to a huge dog park. Your dog will definitely be in great hands with me and my family! About this sitter: I love dogs!!! Married with 3 boys, an older daughter and a grandson, I used to work in real estate, but presently, I'm a stay at home father and a singer/songwriter/producer. I love cooking, playing in the park with my kids, working out, jogging with the dogs, playing guitar/piano, singing and songwriting. Oh, and did I mention that I love dogs?!!!

I just wanted to say a big thank you to Rodge for last minute accepting my request to take care my goldendoodle. It was our first time to use this type of service and our experienced with him is 5 stars. Most likely we will be asking for his assistance again. Thank you Rodge!

Rodge was great. I rate him 5 out of 5 stars. He sent me 2 videos and several photos. My dog really enjoyed playing with his dog. Everything went perfectly. I highly recommend Rodge.

My poodle had so much fun and activity. When I picked her up she was pooped. I was very pleased with how well they took care of her.

Information Rodge M. would like to know about your pet

If he or she is generally safe around kids, that's usually a sure sign that their good dogs. No preferences on breed, size, or anything.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks We'll take journeys around the neighborhood, many times to the dog park. But if I have a mixture of large and small dogs, I'll take them to my "extended" backyard.. Toby Johnson Middle School playing field, a large fenced in area where I can let the dogs roam freely, run and play. Your dog's sleeping arrangement I try to mirror how they sleep at home. If they like their own pillows, blankets or crates, I'll use that. Or if they prefer just sleeping on one of our dog beds or couches, floor or carpet, whatever makes them happy really. Time I'll spend with your dog Generally at least 2 walks a day, morning and night. Practically 24/7 attention since we have a full house :)
