Ratings and reviews
I do NOT recommend this pet sitter to anyone. He was fired immediate. He was supposed to stay for a week. Right off- He was 3 hours late on arrival. No communication. Finally he answered my texts and said he over slept. Communication was nonexistent, and I had to keep reaching out just to get a basic update. I sent a friend over to find out what was going on and he found him passed out in bed. My dog had not been outside in more than 12 hrs (we have security cameras). His food and water bowls were empty, there were accidents all over the house, and it was clear he had been very neglected. The whole experience was incredibly stressful and disappointing. I trusted him with my dog’s well-being, and he failed miserably. Who knows what the situation would have been had he stayed the entire week! Absolutely would not book again! A complaint has been filed with Rover and there is an investigation in progress.
Absolutely amazing. I'm not sure my dog even missed me all that much he was too busy going on walks, dog park, and everywhere with Rand. He got to play with Murphy, Rands dog. Samson seemed to have so much fun. I'm so happy that he got a vacation at the same time I did. Thank you so much!
Rand was great with my dog! He stayed at our house while I was away for the weekend and Hercules got extra TLC.
Rand C. cancelled a booking 3 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Super responsive and accommodating for our travel. Sent lots of picgures!
Rand was great with my pets, helped them feel comfortable when they were scared of him at first. Even trained them a bit on the new dog door.
