Pet care is already part of my daily routine. I own and operate a professional dog daycare and boarding facility, so caring for dogs is my full-time focus. My day revolves around feeding schedules, enrichment, exercise, training, and monitoring each dog’s wellbeing. Because of this structured routine and experience, I’m able to provide consistent, attentive care and make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, dogs stay in a clean, secure environment with structured routines, supervised play, and plenty of enrichment. I carefully monitor dog interactions and adjust groups based on temperament and energy levels. In a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to reduce stress—maintaining feeding schedules, walks, medications, and updates for owners. My background as a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) helps me read body language and keep pets safe and relaxed.

Information Rudy R. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for a pet, I like to know about their personality, routine, and any special needs. Important details include feeding schedules, medications, allergies, training cues they know, comfort items, and how they interact with other dogs or new people. I also ask about energy level, fears, and anything that helps them feel secure. The more I understand about your pet’s habits and preferences, the better I can provide a safe, low-stress, and enjoyable experience for them. All pets must be current on vaccinations for Rabies, Parvo combo, and Bordetella for services.

A typical day

A typical day includes plenty of attention, activity, and structure to help dogs feel comfortable and happy. Mornings start with potty breaks, feeding (if scheduled), and some light play or enrichment. Throughout the day dogs get supervised playtime, walks, rest periods, and lots of positive interaction. I monitor each dog’s energy level and adjust activities so they stay relaxed and safe. In the evening we wind down with another potty break, feeding if needed, and calm time before bed. Owners receive regular updates and photos.

Rudy was great! I got photo updates and constant communication during their stay. My girls looked very happy. (Believe me, their little faces would show otherwise.) He answered any questions I had. I greatly appreciate him taking good care of my girls.

I absolutely adore Rudy and so did my sweet girls. This was our first time using a pet sitter and I was beyond nervous, especially because my Penny is a tiny 4 pounds. Not only did Rudy take awesome care of my girls but he sent pics and update text to calm my nerves. I would highly recommend Rudy to anyone looking for a pet sitter. He went above and beyond and we will definitely use his services again.

We JUST rescued our pup but had already had plans to go out of town and didn’t want to leave him alone. I met Rudy at PetSmart and just talking to him for a few minutes you can immediately tell he knows so much about dogs and caring for them and absolutely loves animals. We felt so comfortable leaving our pup in his care and he provided check-ins throughout our little guys stay. He asked us what we were already doing at home so he could follow that lead which I think is so considerate instead of just sticking to his personal routine. I HIGHLY recommend Rudy and will definitely be leaving our pup there for any other trips we have coming up!!

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.
