Pet care experience

Adventure-ready animal lover

I have over 25 years of experience caring for animals of all kinds, with a primary focus on dogs and cats. I grew up around animals and have continued working with them throughout my adult life, both personally and professionally. I currently have a chihuahua/bulldog mix named Miiso, who I trained myself, as well as a speckled king snake named Olive (my favourite animals are females named after food). In addition to dogs and cats, I’ve cared for rodents, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and other exotic animals, so I’m comfortable following detailed care routines and respecting each animal’s unique needs. I’m extremely attentive, safety-focused, and naturally good at reading animal behavior, which helps me build trust quickly, even with shy or hesitant pets.

Randy was awesome! Our three big doggos loved him! He took special care and patience to deal with all of their quirky eating habits and gave medications as instructed. He sent us pictures several times and communicated clearly. Will keep Randy in mind for our next trips!

Randy is genuinely amazing with dogs (and animals in general). He’s patient, attentive, and super tuned in to their personalities and needs. Dogs tend to gravitate towards him and clearly feel safe and comfy. He takes time to connect with dogs, gives them plenty of attention and exercise, and treats every walk like it actually matters. I’ve trusted him with my own pets and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who truly cares about animals.

Randy is a true lover of all animals! He has been part of our dog, Maverick's life for several years and we trust him, immensely. We trust Randy in our home and to take care of our home, while we are out of town. He communicates via text and sends fun videos when we are out of town, which makes us happy. Most importantly, we come home to a well cared for pup! Highly recommend, Randy!

I’m a self-employed artist and musician, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to focus on pet care. Daily walks, feeding routines, check-ins, and quality time with animals fit naturally into my day.

I like to know about any special needs, medications, activity requirements, or behavioral quirks ahead of time so I can provide the best care possible. For longer bookings, I prefer to meet dogs and their people outdoors and, when applicable, introduce them to my dog Miiso as well.
