Doggy retreat with me!

Pet care experience

I have a 5-year old mini Australian Shepherd and a 2-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.

Honestly I cannot say enough good things about Rodney and what great care my dogs received while staying with him. I'm pretty sure they wanted to stay and play longer at his house. The communication he provides allowed me to feel happy knowing my dogs were well fed, having fun, and even learning how to use a doggy door. They can't wait for us to vacation again so they can come back and play!

Rodney was an amazing sitter for Apollo! Really appreciate the transparency and updates through Apollo’s stay. In addition, last minute I extended Apollo’s stay by one day and he was able to accommodate it. Rex and Roo were also the perfect playmates for Apollo. They kept him busy and occupied. I’ve never had Apollo stay with more than 1 dog overnight, so I’m glad it went well with Rex and Roo. They had loads of fun running in their big backyard. I would definitely have Apollo stay with them again in the future!

Rodney was such a great person to board my pup with! I was very anxious beforehand, because I've never boarded Remy before (he's an 10-year-old Mini Aussie), but at our meet & greet I saw how great Rodney was with him and his pups. Rodney sent photos and updates throughout the weekend -- it put me at ease that Remy was having such a great time. Thank you, Rodney, Roo, and Rex!!

Any special care that is needed. Previous injuries, current medications, and precautions like anxieties. I would also love to know the best way that they co-operate and any behavioral switches I should look out for.

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 or just a long walk through our neighborhood.
