Randy did a great job with Loki and Luna. These two pooches can be a handful, but Randy bonded with them and kept them in their exercise routine which was very important to me. I'll certainly call on Randy in the future when I need a fill in walker!

Randy has a huge heart for your dog and treats them as his own. He goes above and beyond to make sure you are updated with how your pet is doing. This was our first time working with Randy, but he made the experience feel like our dog and him were old friends and we’ve been using him for 10 years!

I have known Randy for over a decade. We started as coworkers and quickly became friends. I think what drew us together is our mutual love of animals, especially dogs. He treats his furry friends as family members and devotes most of his free time to hiking and playing with his beautiful Labradors. Randy was the unofficial pet sitter of the office and cared for everyone’s dogs when they went on vacation. Randy cared for everything from angry chihuahuas to akitas and is loved by all. I was lucky enough to have Randy watch my dogs while I was gone (owner of angry chi noted above!) I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing that they were safe and loved while I was away. Not an easy task as I have two seniors that require extra care and daily medication, a rescue chi with severe separation anxiety and fear-based aggression, and a giant breed puppy that needs to work her energy off or she is destructive. My pups were relaxed and happy and didn’t mind that I was gone and believe me that is a first. He even won over my chi who hates the world. We usually turn down vacation opportunities because it causes so much anxiety for me trying to arrange pet care that I trust. Now I feel confident going away but only if Randy is available! You will not be disappointed with the care your fur babies receive with Randy. He genuinely loves dogs, enjoys spending time with them, is knowledgeable and able to handle any breed/type, and you can relax knowing your dogs are safe and happy and probably having as much fun as you are on your getaway!

Randy is a wonderful guy with a big heart, and an even bigger heart for dogs. He is the dictionary definition of dog lover, and he is absolutely awesome with them. His labs are the sweetest, happiest dogs which reflect the love and attention they are given each day - in hikes through the woods, trips to the stream to swim, constant supply of Kong squeaky tennis balls and his convenient & random dog treat stashes. He’s watched my dog before and I’m pretty sure she was disappointed when I returned! There couldn’t be a better set of hands to put your pup in.
