I do have to have a day job, but it's flexible so I fit my work schedule around my pet care schedule. My daily schedule is built around providing high-quality, specialized service to animals. I am currently filling my free time with as much pet sitting as possible so that I save up to take a week or so off once I give birth to our daughter in early Sept!

Safety, trust & environment

Since I provide care exclusively through client visits, my primary goal is to maintain the comfort and safety of your pets in their own familiar environment. I utilize my professional background to ensure every visit is productive, calm, and tailored to your pet's specific needs. I specialize in in-home care for pets with anxiety, senior status, or health limitations, ensuring they feel secure while their owners are away.

Information Randi J. would like to know about your pet

Medical & Physical Needs: Understanding health conditions or senior status helps me provide appropriate "stress-free" accommodations. Behavioral Profile: Knowing about anxiety or specific triggers allows me to manage the environment safely and effectively. Grooming & Sensitivity: Information on coat maintenance and touch sensitivities is vital. Routine & Training: Knowing their feeding schedule, favorite enrichment toys, and known commands helps me maintain their daily consistency. Emergency Contacts: Having your veterinarian’s information and emergency protocols on hand is a top priority for responsible care.

A typical day

I enjoy taking pets on walks, utilizing my personal daily routine of walking up to 2 miles to ensure we get plenty of fresh air and exercise. Skill-Building & Training: I incorporate light training sessions into our time together, drawing on my experience in pet behavior to help reinforce positive habits and keep their minds sharp. Interactive Enrichment: To prevent boredom, I use enrichment toys and games that challenge their problem-solving skills and keep them happily engaged while in the comfort of their home.

I had never left my fur baby with anyone but family and was really worried about leaving her with a stranger, but Randi eased my concerns from the first moment we met! She was so sweet with my girl and sent me regular updates while I was gone. She did an excellent job the entire time and probably took better care watching my baby than my family would have!

My 3 dogs had a lot of fun when they stayed with Randi for daycare. She has 2 dogs and a decent size backyard for them to run around. She is an animal lover and has many years of experience caring for pets.
