A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks Around the neighborhood. The School across from my house has closed down and the old track is great for dogs to get their energy out, fenced in and tons of fun. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Wherever your dog is comfortable is sleeping works for me. If they have a bed they sleep on bring it with them, if they want to sleep on the couch or jump in bed thats cool too. Time I'll spend with your dog I'm normally home most of the day. So basically all day...when I schedule a sitting, I don't make any other plans for those days. Also have a couple roommates that are animals lovers, so they'll get the attention and love they deserve

I felt Rodney went out of his way to provide a safe and comfortable say for Cody. I will certainly use Rodney again.

Rodney was great and took really great care of our pup Oscar. He sent pictures and videos and kept us up to date on everything while we were gone for the weekend. Oscar had some great playmates and was tired out by the time we got him back on Monday morning. Slept all day! Will definitely book again!

I can’t say enough good things about Rodney! From the very beginning they were professional, kind, and so attentive to my pup’s needs. They kept me updated with pictures, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It’s obvious Rodney truly loves animals and treats them like family. I’ll definitely be booking again and would recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.
