Trustworthy and Caring Pet Lover

Pet care experience

Dogs have always been part of my life. I've cared for all ages (puppies to end of life) and loved every moment with our furry friends!

Randy is a superhero. I had to leave out of town with a laundry list of needs for my furbaby. She recently was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, reactive, and has separation anxiety. Randy not only ensured her proper medical care with insulin injections, cared for her, and kept her company… he allowed me PEACE OF MIND. Randy kept me updated every day through the day with pictures and videos. I’m so grateful. By far the best pup sitting experience.

Randy is an exceptional dog walker who goes the extra mile! Beyond exercising Cheeks, his captivating photography creates cherished memories that give me peace of mind while I'm away. It is wonderful to know that someone is giving my pup the superstar treatment :)

Randy is reliable, caring, professional, and responsible. He is a joy to work with and is thoroughly dedicated to the care and protection of your pet. I have known him for more than 15 years and have trusted him on several occasions to care for my home and my most cherished family members, my dogs Jack and Shelby. Jack is a 5-year-old, 50lb, lab/pit mix with a distaste for mailmen. Shelby is a 1-year-old, 70lb, St. Bernard/Husky mix with a literal taste for remote controls and dirty socks. Both adore Randy and long for the day when he will return to dogsit again. I wholeheartedly endorse and recommend Randy for the care and well-being of your pet.

Randy is a great friend and I’ve completely trusted him with the care of my Maltese puppy, Chloe. Randy has taken her on multiple walks and taken care of her for a weekend in my home. He was super attentive, sent lots of updates and pictures, and reinforced all of her training. He even got her on a potty routine so that we could stop relying on the pee pads. He is also an amazing photographer and will take frame worthy pictures of your fur baby. Your pup will be in great hands with Randy!!!

Information Randy M. would like to know about your pet

Mostly I just want to know the personality of the dogs - are they outgoing or shy? Are the playful or reserved? Do they get along well with people or other dogs? It's important that a dog feels comfortable and I like to adapt to the lifestyle they are accustomed to.

A typical day

Generally long walks are my preferred activity with dogs. City or countryside is fine, however I prefer walks in woods and parks where dogs can take in all the smells of nature. Fetch and other games are also fun!
