Ratings and reviews
Randi is amazing. My dog Ty is super shy and nervous, and our last dog walker just was not connecting with him when I was out of town, so he would refuse to walk or eat. Randi took the time to let Ty get comfortable with him and just kind of chilled with him respecting his space until he felt comfortable. But once he did, she gave him belly rubs and he seemed soo happy. When I returned he was excited to see me, versus being suspicious of who was coming in the door like past pet sitters. Bonus, she got my cat Rocky to come out and interact with her in 4 days, this usually takes weeks. Definitely our permanent pet sitter and will recommend her to others always! I'm soo happy to have someone I can confidently leave my pets with and go out of town, instead of worrying constantly if they are ok around someone.
Randi was wonderful and attentive with our one year old pittie. She kept us updated and our dog loved her. Would definitely recommend!
Randi was really great with our senior dog! Very kind and communicative.
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.
Randi sent me lots of pics of Blade and made me super comfortable about his adjustment .

Schedule
I do have to have a day job, but it's flexible so I fit my work schedule around my pet care schedule. I am currently filling my free time with as much pet sitting as possible so that I save up to take some time off once I give birth to our daughter in early Sept!
