Loving, canine enthusiast

Pet care experience

Dogs are eternally optimistic. They're full of love, and they are very faithful. Like dogs, I’m ebullient; I always appreciate their exuberant joy, and we always have fun together because we get comfortable so quickly and we’re equally adventurous. I’m also dependable and kind, and I love caring for dogs. I’ve volunteered at the local animal shelter; providing for pups in need is important to me. I also have a dog of my own, who’s eager to welcome new friends into our home! We can explore Prospect Park or venture out to Central Park for long walks, or even for a run if your pup wants to join me! There’s also a local dog park, so there are always new friends to be made (and therefore, no such thing as boredom). Back home, we’ll play, rest, and enjoy each other’s company. To my human clients, I’m eternally courteous and polite. I'll provide constant updates about your pet(s)--if you want them, of course!--and follow your guidelines to the letter. I’m dependable and compassionate, and will be patient and dedicated whenever any issues come up. You can rely on me for clear communication, and rest assured that I’ll provide top-quality care for your dog no matter what. I enjoy running, exploring the neighborhood, and spending time with my dog. In my free time, I work on a podcast from home, and I blog often. I enjoy pet-sitting because I get to help owners, spend time with more dogs, and work on my business from home. I also have experience caring for cats and fish, so I’d be happy to provide care for those pets too!

Rodney was great with helping us out last minute. He was able to handle two big dogs, one who is sometimes a difficult walker with no problems! Wouldn't hesitate to have him sit for our dogs again!

Rodney is a real dog lover. He has pet dogs himself and takes great care of them. He is a spontaneous person and has a lot of patience with animals. He also has some experience as a dog sitter. He often tells me how he loves going on walks with the dogs.

Rodney is terrific. He's professional, thorough, polite, compassionate and my dog loves him! That's the endorsement I was looking for. He left my home clean and spotless. He emailed me daily while I was away with photos and videos of their outings. I would recommend him to anyone wanting the security of having a pet well cared for in your home.

My manager at work recommended Rodney to me to house sit my lab Mika and my Chloe my cat. He took the initiative to clean her litter box and play with Mika. Mika is often indifferent or cold to some dog-walkers and sitters but she warmed up to Rodney. He is very respectful of my property and is a genuine gentleman.

Information Rodney F. would like to know about your pet

I like meeting potential clients in a neutral location like the park or on the sidewalk. I typically like to know about their pet's behavior, feeding habits, attitude towards other dogs and humans. There are a few breeds I’d prefer not to work with like Pitbulls, Rottweilers, and Cane Corsos, especially if they have any aggressive tendencies. But I’m quite open otherwise, and the important thing is that your dog gets along with me and mine!

A typical day

On a typical day, I would take the dogs out to potty, then we go for a walk for an hour or more. I would feed her when we return; then we’d play and rest. I'll take her out again after that. In the afternoon, we'd visit the local dog park and explore the neighborhood. We'll play when we return home. I'll feed her and take her out before we cozy up for the night. If you have specific scheduling preferences, please let me know!
