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.

Information Randal R. would like to know about your pet

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.

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.

Reliable care for precious Rovers

Pet care experience

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 the first time leaving Oliver and Lexie with anyone other than family. Upon meeting Randal, we knew we had found the perfect pet sitter. He and his wife treated our dogs like their own and allowed them to sleep on the couch and bed. His updates and daily pictures/videos helped us feel relaxed that they were enjoying their time without us. Their home is extremely clean and beautiful. We will definitely be using them in the future.

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.

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.
