Pet care experience

Reliable care for precious Rovers

I have over 40 years’ experience caring for pets. I've often watched friends and family dogs. As I am now fully retired and recently lost my most precious Dachshund, Nathan(hotdogs) after 16+ years, I’m hoping to help anyone who may need pet care watching their family dogs. I really enjoy watching, walking and playing with pets. See you soon!

This was Mia's 2nd time staying at Randy's home. We felt very comfortable leaving her there and were glad to see the videos that he shared. She came home very tired so we know she was busy and happy there.

Randy and Karen were great! I got updates of what my pups were doing. They’ve taken care of both my dogs in the past and I continue to go back to them.

We’ve had him watch our fur babies, Dolly and Dexter, multiple times, and he has been wonderful every time. During this stay, he was once again incredibly flexible when we had to adjust the timing because we got home very late. Dolly and Dexter were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for, as always. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. We will definitely be reaching out again the next time we travel!

Safety, trust & environment

I'm committed to loving care and safety for my clients' pets. I always enjoy long walks with the energetic fast pace Rovers. I'm always cautious to have them on a proper leash and collar or harness during their walks. I take care not to walk dogs when it's too hot and always keep them off of hot sidewalks and pavement. I also allow plenty of couch and TV time for all dogs especially the less active senior dogs. Tell me your dog's needs and habits and I will do my very best to make them feel right at home.

A typical day

I'm an early riser so getting pets outside for their early morning potty break is never a problem. I make sure pets have plenty of fresh water throughout the day and provide feeding in a regular and timely fashion as requested by clients. Requested medications and any special needs are also provided. I enjoy playing fetch with dogs, enjoy a gentle tug of war game with their special toys and will provide treat rewards for any tricks they want to show me. Pets have plenty of potty breaks throughout the day and usually provide at least two 10-15 minute walks.

I always request a 15–20-minute meet and greet prior to dog sitting. I feel this meeting is very helpful providing clients and their pets time to adapt and become more comfortable with a new environment. I ask clients to provide details about feeding, playtime, walking, potty breaks and sleep habits. Are there any special toys they enjoy and are there any tricks that they know and enjoy that can be rewarded with treats. Clients are encouraged to provide small write up about their dogs but not necessary as I will take notes on their needs.
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.
