Animal House
Pet care experience
My name is Randi and my Husband's name is Travis. We are fun loving dog people that would love to provide dog, cat, and house sitting services for you! As a kid, I grew up in an "Animal House" with at least 7 animals in the family at all times. We were raised to understand and realize that a dog needs guidance, patience, companionship, and someone to love and be loved by. I couldn't be more blessed with the teachings that caring for animals has brought to me, and I hope to be able to share that with more animals than my own! Any dog that comes my way will be swarmed with affection, attention, and comfort. I found the rover.com website and think it is so wonderful! What a great idea to set up a website dedicated to helping connect true animal lovers with each other with profiles detailing our own individual situations. Now, we can find the comfort we all need when the time comes that we have to leave our special guys behind. It's an honor to be a part of this network!

Why I love dog sitting My whole life I have had an "Animal House". My mother was a big animal lover and we frequently participated in clubs and volunteering for animals. We even created our own club called SAVE where we raised money through fundraisers and cookouts to send to shelters. My sister and I were given the responsibility (if we wanted it) of taking on one animal of our own growing up. The companionship of a pet is really special to me.. Meet my pets 10 year old Corgi named Charlie Two 12 year old cats name Bob and Phoebe. My little team here has been on the road with me since the beginning. All of them are shelter finds from when they were babies and we've been through a lot together; my college years, relocation from Texas to California, and then back to Texas once we had children! My pack means everything to me... I am a solid home sitter on top of pet sitting services! I keep the cleanest house on the block, so your requests will not deter me. I am ready for whatever it is you need and prefer to keep your home how you like it while you are away. I am no longer available to stay over night now that I have two babies at home, but I am available for stopping by at certain times of the day. The frequency and times would all be discussed before the stay as I am able to accommodate just about anything. I do this full time! My experience administering medication I have been administering pills and other oral medicines for cats and dogs since I was a kid, as well as ear and skin medications.
Reviews
Randi and Travis kept our dog for 15 nights over the holidays. After a couple of days our dog (85lb American Bulldog) got aggressive with little Charlie, their corgi. Randi and Travis were excellent about communicating the issue with us, found solutions for our dog, and even welcomed him back after the incidents with his stay. They were genuinely interested in correcting our dog's behavior, and they weren't shy about dealing with aggression from a large breed dog. You can tell that they really love dogs because they didn't write our guy off as a Bad Dog. Instead they took the entire situation into account when addressing it. We weren't proud of our dog's behavior, but they dealt with the situation professionally and pragmatically, which we really appreciated. No doubt that I'd recommend their services and I'd be happy to book with them again. Thanks guys!
Randi and Travis are the best! Always dependable. My dog lives them.
Even though it rained the whole weekend, the girls got to go out on walks and get fresh air. If I am honest with myself, I know Randi and Travis gave them much more exercise this weekend than I would have given them if I'd been home in the rain! The girls were calm and happy when I went to get them - something that always les me know they have been in good hands. :)
Best place to leave your dog!
