Pet care experience
Animals are my absolute passion and I live my life very much in mind of animal welfare. As a testament, I have been a vegetarian for many years now and it's a joy to be able to care for and spend time with animals. Most people would define me as a compassionate and dedicated animal lover. It would be my dream to make it my work. I really enjoy being out with the dogs and I tend to give them a lot of attention and always have safety and enrichment in mind. In the past I would go on "Meetup" dog walking hikes, even though I do not own one, just because it makes hiking that much better! I have volunteered and been trained at several animal shelters over the years including the Toronto Humane Society where I would walk a range of dogs, everything from aggressive, blind, physically disabled, friendly and various types of breeds. I also grew up with a family pet for 14 years in addition to dog walking for countless family members, friends and neighbours. In addition to caring for dogs , I was fostering cats for about 8 years. I have adopted out and fostered about 30 cats over that time (one or two at a time), helping them to become accustomed to home life and trustful of humans. Therefore, I can tend to any cats or other pets at your home. Look forward to meeting your fur "baby"!
Reviews
Randy was awesome with Winnie. Put it this way, when he first came to the door, she brought him a toy to play. She loved him right off the bat!! Great first impression! As the night progressed, he sent photos to let me know she was good. Got home and the house was perfect. Overall? A ten!!
Randy is a total professional. We really appreciated his being punctual with time as we had reservations booked for dinner out to celebrate a special occasion. It was Hazel’s first visit with Randy and he went well beyond the call of duty to make her feel comfortable and happy. She also enjoyed a bonus one hour walk! I have no hesitation recommending Randy as a caregiver.
A dog whisperer! Enough said ? Thank you Randy!
Randy was amazing with Roary. I felt comfortable having him walk my dog and was confident it won’t be an issue (my dog is big, strong and a puller on leash/seeing squirrels). My dog felt very comfy around him and I loved seeing pics/updates throughout the visit. Thank you!
About Randy L.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Safety is always my number one concern for the animal. With new dogs I'm always cautious around other animals, do not go to off leash dog parks and I keep them leashed up. I currently only do house sitting so the animals are usually comfortable in their environment and they make sure they have plenty of water and food.
Information Randy L. would like to know about your pet
It's good to know beforehand how your dog is around other animals, that it may pass by on our walks. Any allergies or special needs and Veterinary information.
A typical day
I am always down for an adventure or just some good quality walks around the city, at dog parks and beaches. Your canine baby will always get exercise and love here . I like to be active and get out there with the dogs and therefore they will sleep soundly after visits with me!

Availability
When I am dog or cat sitting your pet would be my number one priority. For dogs I often do one big walk/adventure a day and regular local walks or bathroom breaks for the remaining of the day.
