I have a rodent room (Its a really large closet with windows and a sky light) and that is where their cage is except for currently cause its way too hot up in my room..and the a/c isn't working up there. And then I have a spare bedroom across from mine that doesn't have any use currently, so that is where they free range at. Except currently, since they are in our office. I let them run around the hallway and office now and put the kittens away while they are out. No dogs are ever in the same room as them, or their cage for that matter.
