Highlights
Pet care experience
Your dog’s home away from home!
I have over 20 years of experience with pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities whether they want to play, go on long walks, or spend the afternoon napping next to me. I pay close attention to each dog’s comfort level, routine, and body language, so shy pups, energetic goofballs, and cuddle experts all get the care that’s right for them! ⠀ I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care, because I feel exactly the same way about my own. I have a very well socialized 5-year old bernedoodle who is my whole world. My goal is simple: I want you to enjoy your time away knowing your dog is safe, happy, and getting plenty of love and attention. ⠀ Whether your boarding your pet in my home, I’m house sitting while you’re away, or just dropping in for a walk and some extra pets, you'll receive regular photo and video updates so you can see all the tail wags and belly pets in real time. My goal is always to care for your pets as if they were my own with love, patience, and plenty of snuggles.

Ratings and reviews
Randy is awesome! He and his partner, Jenna, took such great care of Oliver over the weekend while I attended a work event. Randy kept me updated on Oliver’s care with plenty of photos and videos, including walks and playtime with his Bernedoodle, Huxley. I felt reassured knowing Oliver was in such good hands and having a great time playing with Huxley. I especially appreciated that Randy followed my wishes and kept Oliver on his regular meal and nap schedule, helping him maintain the same routine he has at home. Since Oliver is still a young pup, keeping his routine as consistent as possible is really important to me. I’m very grateful to Randy and Jenna for taking such wonderful care of Oliver. I would absolutely recommend them!
I reached out to Randy for boarding services for my Bernedoodle puppy, Oliver, and was excited to learn that he also has a Bernedoodle named Huxley! Randy was responsive and communicative from the start. We arranged a meet-and-greet followed by a short dog-sitting visit at his home, which gave Oliver time to get comfortable with Randy, his partner, Huxley, and the new environment. Randy sent photos and updates throughout the day, giving me peace of mind that Oliver was having a great time and was in good hands. Oliver will be staying with Randy over the weekend, and I feel confident he’ll be well cared for!
Booked last min and Randy was awesome! Super professional and punctual, I felt totally at ease. My dog loved him and he sent great updates.
Randy is a great caregiver and loves dogs! Him and his dog, Huxley, have taken care of my dog, River, several times, and River is always sad to leave. Randy provides great updates - pics, a quick message about how the day or walk went, and I can tell my pup always has a great time with him and is in the best hands. I'm always anxious to leave my baby, but I worry so much less when Randy is watching him!

Schedule
I work from home so your pet will have a companion all day and their well-being is my main priority! I also know every dog is different, so I’m happy to stick to your pet’s normal schedule for meals, medications, potty breaks, exercise, and bedtime routines to help them feel as comfortable and at home as possible.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Whether your dog is staying at my home or I’m staying at yours, my goal is to make their experience feel as familiar, comfortable, and stress-free as possible. I have everything to make your best buddy feel right at home. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine from feeding schedules and walks to favorite toys, sleeping habits, medications, and any little quirks that make them unique. I believe consistency helps dogs feel secure, so I do my best to keep their normal routine intact. ⠀ When house sitting, I treat your home with the same respect I’d want someone to show mine. I’ll keep your pet’s routine consistent, send regular photo updates, and make sure you can truly relax knowing they’re in good hands. ⠀ At my home, dogs are treated like family. They have plenty of supervised attention, a clean and comfortable space to relax, and lots of opportunities for play, walks, or quiet time. My Bernedoodle, Huxley, is friendly, gentle, well socialized and loves all dogs (and people), but I always make introductions thoughtfully and prioritize every dog’s comfort. ⠀ My biggest priority is simple: keeping your pet safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I welcome up to 2 pups at a time for in-home care with continuous supervision. ⠀ House Sitting: I’ll care for your pets in the comfort of their own home (including overnights), where they can stick to the routine they know. Drop-In Visits: Perfect for pets who just need a little extra love during the day! Include 30-60 minutes with any combination of walks, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, or plenty of belly rubs. ⠀ What's included for in-home care: 🏡 A cozy home with comfy beds, soft blankets, and plenty of toys 🐾 Daily walks, potty breaks, and outdoor sniff adventures 🐶 Safe, supervised social time with friendly pups (if your dog enjoys company!) 🦴 Delicious treats (with your approval, of course!) 🧩 Enrichment activities like puzzle games, endless toy options, and interactive play to keep curious minds busy 🥣 Food and water bowls provided (just pack your pup’s favorite food!) 💧 Fresh, filtered water available all day, every day

A typical day
Every dog is different, so I tailor the day to their personality and energy level. Active pups can look forward to walks, games of fetch, tug-of-war, enrichment puzzles, and plenty of playtime, while the more laid-back crowd can enjoy sunbathing, cozy naps, belly rubs, and quality cuddle time.
