It's possible Rango has some separation anxiety if he is bonded with you. There are a few things you can try. One is to have your family spend some time with him while you are gone, playing with toys, going on a walk, feeding him, etc. This can help him to bond with your family and feel more comfortable, as well as get out any anxious energy. You can also play a soothing radio station, leave him with an article of clothing that smells like you, or provide a toy filled with treats that he has to work on to get out while you are away to help distract him. Making sure not to make a big deal of coming and going can also help him get used to the fact that you both leave, and always return home.
