Pet care experience
Doggy retreat with me!
I have a 8-year old mini Australian Shepherd and a 5-year old standard Australian Shepherd! Since my last rover login, I took a break from sitting since my 17-year old cocker spaniel passed. He’s helped me so much with having guest dogs that it wasn’t the same without him. But in his honor, we’re back with my duo of adventure aussies!! My experience with dogs is very broad! Whether your dog is happy and energetic like my pups or mature and requires lots of attention like my old guy; I love my dogs to the fullest and I can love yours just as my own too! My pups love long walks and always ask to go to the dog park. They also know how to order a puppyccino from the drive-thru *face-palm*.My wife and I work from home, and we have a lot of time to spend with our dog-kids! Our aussies keep each other on point and we frequently adventure to just about everywhere. Camping, hiking, beach trips, this tradition has never changed. I keep my dogs clean and happy everyday no matter the mess that either decides to get into! Our pups are truly our kids and it doesn’t take much effort for us to treat yours as ours. We have two little humans now and that doesn’t stop us for our joy of caring for dogs! We love to have more pups over as it helps us keep Rex and Roo socialized as well!

Ratings and reviews
We absolutely love Rodney! He takes such great care of Simba and truly treats him like one of his own. He’s incredibly attentive, reliable, and always keeps us updated with detailed reports, which gives us so much peace of mind. Simba is always so happy to see him, and it’s obvious how comfortable he is with Rodney. We feel so lucky to have found someone we trust so much with our boy! 😊❤️
Rodney has been amazing with Simba! He’s reliable, communicative, and genuinely cares about him. Simba always comes home happy and well exercised, and I especially look forward to Rodney’s visit notes because they’re absolutely hilarious. They always make me laugh after a long day while still giving thoughtful updates about how the walk went. It’s clear he pays attention to Simba’s personality and takes great care of him. We’re so grateful to have found Rodney and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and fun Rover walker!
I have booked Rodney twice now, and both experiences have been excellent. Communication is always prompt and clear, and I received many photos and videos throughout her stay. My dog was clearly comfortable, happy, and well cared for each time. It’s such a relief knowing that Rodney and family are so reliable and trustworthy. I’ll definitely continue booking. I highly recommend them!
Last minute drop in/walk today. As always, Rodney was awesome! So happy to have found him on Rover!
Great experience! Rodney helped our crew out on short notice. Excellent communication and care given to our goldens and our home. Will definitely book again!
Rodney was amazing with my dog Willow over Christmas! He was super communicative and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. His whole family was so sweet and welcoming, and it was clear Willow felt right at home. He sent tons of updates and photos of her cozy on the couch and playing in the backyard, which I really appreciated. I will 100% use Rodney again in the future, and highly recommend him!
Calendar and availability
Schedule
My wife and I both work from home. I’ve made a healthy habit of 3 walks/day! Unless it’s raining then we change it up. Our pups see daily exercise either way! If the weather permits, any dog park or walking trail like thousand acres is on our list. EMPHASIS on the thousand acres visits.

A typical day
My dogs are working dogs so constant stimulation and mental challenges are in our schedule. We pair that with an abundance of love and adventure! We frequently camp and hike, but on a normal day, we’ll go to the dog park, beach, or just a long walk through our neighborhood.
