Pet care experience

Happy trails for tails!

Dogs have been my best friends for as long as I can remember. My passion for caring for these amazing creatures began about 15 years ago when I met my wife. I noticed how deeply she loved dogs, and we naturally gravitated towards them, especially after we adopted our beautiful husky, Buster. I started walking my neighbor’s dogs regularly, and now I have several people who ask me to dog-sit for them as well. I love playing catch and rewarding them with treats. Nothing makes me happier than encountering a dog that looks me in the eyes and understands how much I care for them!

Safety, trust & environment

I like to make sure that my dog’s food pantry is fully stocked at all times and take the time to brush and groom them at least once a week. Their daily walks are crucial because they are super active huskies, and it also puts me in good shape to keep up with them. I also make sure that my client’s pets are comfortable and I provide lots of snacks and warm blankets for them to relax in my home.

Rodrigo is excellent. We highly recommend him. He’s always on time, is very calm and patient with our dog, and seems like a genuinely good person. He helped us out tremendously while I recovered from surgery and we will definitely be hiring him again in the future. Thank you, Rodrigo.

Rod is awesome! He took the time to meet my dog, Olive before his drop in visit and his warm smile and calm, confident demeanor told me that she was in good hands! You will instantly see how passionate he is about dog care. After his drop in visit, I noticed that Olive seemed much more at ease when I got home from work which is such an improvement from her normally anxious personality. He made sure to let me know in detail about how the visit was and the pictures he sent showed me that my dog has a new best friend in Rod!

Someone whom I regard dearly referred me to Rodrigo V for a dog walking opportunity. I am fresh out of surgery and have been physically unable to walk my high energy fur baby. Upon meeting Rodrigo, I knew immediately he was the perfect person for the job. My dog instantly fell in love with his calm demeanor. Not to mention, I knew immediately he was physically able to handle my massive puppy. That type of peace of mind is priceless. Rodrigo sent me updates and images of their walk together. My dog and I are looking forward to seeing you tomorrow morning. Great job on getting him tired.

Rod is fantastic with our big, energetic German Shepherd. Fast, loves long walks, and takes great care with his special diet and snacks. Looking to book again.

I like to keep pets comfortable by using the same routines they’re used to, so I ask owners to let me know what commands their dog knows, what treats they prefer, and any favorite words or cues they respond to. I also appreciate knowing about any special needs, habits, or sensitivities so I can take the best possible care of them while you’re away.
