Professional Dog Guy & Trainer 🐕‍

Hi! I’m Rodrigo. More than just a dog sitter/walker, I work professionally with dogs every day. As a dog parent of 10 years and a professional dog trainer who has worked with countless dogs of all sizes and personalities, I am not just a dog lover but someone you can feel at ease to trust with your four-legged family member. 🙂 Puppies, seniors, working dogs, reactive dogs, and so on. I’ve handled them all. Feel free to shoot a message with any questions or concerns and I look forward to meeting your dog! (:

The classic saying “a dog is a man’s best friend”, is a true saying, but with Rodrigo in the picture the saying should go something like: “Rod is a dog’s best friend”. Rod loves every single dog with unconditional love and compassion. He sees the potential in every dog and brings out the best in a their personality. I’ve known Rod for 7 years and he always says that humans don’t deserve dogs. Rod is detailed, thorough, caring, respectful, and responsible. Rod simply enjoys being in the presence of dogs. I trust Rod caring for my dog and any other’s dog. Personally, I think Rod was a dog in a previous life :) you won’t regret having Rod join the Rover team.

I believe that Rodrigo would be an excellent dog sitter for Rover. He loves his dogs like they’re his own children, and their good behavior and how well they are trained reflects how passionate Rodrigo is about them. I personally have trusted him to take care of my dog and he did a fantastic job by not only following my dog’s feeding and play schedule, but also consistently giving me updates on how my dog was doing. I’ve even known some other close friends who have also trusted Rodrigo to look after their dogs as well and he handled them with ease and with a positive attitude. I’ve never met anyone who loves and cares for all kinds of dogs as much as Rodrigo and that’s why he’s more than the perfect caregiver for Rover.

Safety, trust & environment

I currently live in an apartment so I only accept about two or three boarding dogs at a time. Usually boarding dogs are crated within the home for safety. All training or fun will be had outside so the home if for resting and relaxing during the hotter times of the day.

You can let me know ahead of times if you have any concerns such as a reactive or anxious dog. It’s not an issue to me, but it’s always good to know so I can accommodate for your dog (:
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
