Hello there!

Hi there, I'm Rodrigo – a passionate dog enthusiast with over a decade of experience providing exceptional dog care. My commitment to our four-legged friends goes way beyond the professional – I've personally adopted a shelter dog, which has ignited a profound dedication to delivering unparalleled care to every furry companion.

About Me:

With more than 10 years of hands-on experience, I've developed a deep understanding of the diverse needs and behaviors of dogs. From administering medications to wound care, feeding routines to confidently handling multiple dogs during walks, my skills are well-rounded.

Experience and Credentials:

I am based in Heverlee, conveniently located near the ring of Leuven. My services extend to various areas, including Leuven, Heverlee, Wilsele, Haasrode, and Bierbeek. The location is negotiable but limited to up to 20km outside Leuven, as I am equipped with a motorbike to move around. Please note that depending on the distance, a nominal commuting compensation may be charged to cover travel expenses (no extra cost within 5km from Abdij van park, Leuven and 0.3€ per extra km travelled).

Team Work:

I work alongside my roommates Chaanah Muscat, an all-around animal caregiver, and Siemen Dhooghe, a skilled cat sitter. Together, we offer a comprehensive suite of services to ensure your pets receive the best care possible.

Languages I Speak:

Checking Things Out: 

I prefer to meet the dogs before the service starts. This allows me to assess their individual needs, preferences, and personalities, ensuring that I can provide the best possible care tailored to each dog.
