Experienced dog trainer and groomer

Pet care experience

I have been training, showing, and grooming dogs for 18 years. I have traveled California working with various breeds/breeders. I have also been employed by PETCO as a dog trainer as well as a successful freelance trainer. I have been awarded scholarships for training and handling dogs. Among many awards, I have earned the prestigious title of "Junior Handler of the Year" several times, and have maintained my skill and passion throughout the years. With my training and expertise, my past dogs have successfully completed testing and acquired licenses through Therapy Dogs International. In addition to therapy dogs, several of my own dogs became Canine Good Citizens (CGC). I love dogs and treat every single one like my own. I am available nearly every day of the week from 7 AM to 3 PM. I look forward to taking expert care of your dogs and will instill good behavior and habits while working with them.

Rori was great with my pup. He is timid around strangers, but she was able to make him feel comfortable. We will definitely be back!

Rori is a caring, considerate, and timely sitter! She is someone I can fully trust to give her full love and care to my pets.

Rori worked with me on how to handle my rescue dog on walks and helped train my dog. While walking, my dog Bella used to be very aggressive towards other dogs, weave in front of/around me, and pull very hard. These things made it very difficult and inconvenient to take my dog on walks. Rori walked with me and coached me on how to handle my dog correctly. She also advised on the proper collar to use for Bella’s situation. After heeding her advice, walking my dog became a lot easier and is now something that we do often. She has also assisted with the training of my dog, provided me with grooming information, advised on her dietary needs, and provided me with related, helpful insights. As my dog is a rescue, it usually takes her more time to adjust to new people. With Rori, she formed a connection almost immediately and made my dog feel very comfortable and safe. I highly recommend Rori Skellenger as a caregiver, she has been amazing with my dog and will be the same with yours!

I have had the pleasure of having worked with Mrs. Rori Coddington. I can attest to her Love and Devotion for all pets. Never will you find a more honest and ethical person such as she. Peace of mind is what she offers when pet sitting.
