Highlights
Pet care experience
Pet care extraordinaire based in SF
Hello, and thank you for your interest in my profile. My name is Randy, and I am a full-time certified dog walker and pet care provider. Being a San Francisco native, I've always been surrounded by dogs, from family pets to those in the neighborhood. This upbringing has deeply taught me the special bond between humans and pets. I also recognize the busy schedules of my fellow San Franciscans, making it challenging to provide daily exercise for their dogs. This led me to share the joy dogs bring to our lives by becoming a professional pet care provider. When your pup joins our pack, they are guaranteed one hour of exercise and fun at some of SF's best parks and recreation dog-friendly spaces. Your pet's safety, health, and fun are my top priorities whenever they are in my care. I'm excited to meet you and your fur baby and look forward to the opportunity to provide them with the care and attention they deserve!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Randy did an amazing job taking care of Luna and Mason while we were away for almost two weeks! I love that he kept them active with long walks, hikes, and beach days, exactly the kind of outings I would take my girls on myself. He updated us with many photos throughout the trip that kept us smiling and completely at ease knowing they were having an amazing time. We came home to two very happy girls and couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend Randy to anyone looking for a sitter who genuinely cares for your dogs like his own!
Randy is so great! And he’s amazing with our pup too. Always makes sure she eats right and gets her meds. Highly recommend.
Randy did a great job of caring for my cockapoo Charlie! Charlie was nervous at first, but it sounded like he ended up having a good time during the visit.
Randy and Jessica were great sitters to our little Pepi. We reached out to them last minute due to a family emergency and they happily accepted Pepi as one of their pack for an extended stay. While we were away we received daily updates and tons of pics. Under their care, Pepi went on lots of walks with other pups, hung out on R&J's couch where she could peer out the window, and cuddled up with R&J and their pup Joey. It was also an opportunity for her to socialize with other pups of all sizes and build up her confidence. Thanks so much Randy and Jessica for looking after our baby! Your kindness and consideration helped to make a difficult moment a bit easier.
Randy is so great with our dog! He always sends pictures and gives updates. Highly recommend!
Always top notch care! For my boy, it’s like he goes on vacation at Randy’s.

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
While your pet is in my care, their safety, well-being, and joy are my top priority. My home is a pet-safe environment, with secure areas to roam and play, including immediate access to a potty break patio. A plethora of cozy bedding and toys are always available. I also provide daily exercise, playtime, and activities suitable for the pet's energy level and needs. Additionally, I follow outlined dietary restrictions and preferences and ensure ample fresh water supply is always available. If the pet requires medication, I administer as directed by the owner, guaranteeing proper dosage and timing. Finally, I keep the pet owner updated with photos, videos, and messages about their pet's well-being and activities to maintain regular communication and ensure peace of mind.

A typical day
While your dog is in my boarding care, it will have access to my fenced backyard for immediate potty breaks. They will also have at least one hour of afternoon field trip at one of SF's dog-friendly open spaces, such as Fort Funston, Stern Grove, Ocean Beach, Golden Gate Park, etc. We also take a post-dinner stroll at a smaller park.
