Pet care experience

Every Pet is Royalty

Hi, I’m Scotty a lifelong dog lover and dependable walker based in Bushkill, PA. Dogs have been a huge part of my life, and caring for them isn’t just a job, it’s something I truly enjoy. Whether your pup needs an energizing stroll, a quick potty break, or some extra love while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they’re happy, safe, and cared for. I’m patient, attentive, and skilled at working with all kinds of dogs from shy companions who need reassurance to high energy pups who love adventure. I also have experience with leash-reactive dogs, so you can feel confident knowing I’ll keep your walks structured, calm, and positive. Big or small, every dog I meet is treated like family. My goal is to give you peace of mind while giving your dog the care, attention, and fun they deserve.

I can not describe how much I truly appreciate Abner. My other rover canceled on me when I was an hour away after driving over 8 hours. Abner responded immediately and was able to take Titos on super short notice. He was so understanding of my anxiety related to this incident and did everything to ensure I was updated and Tito's was well cared for. I can not thank you enough. This is THE dog sitter you are looking for. Kind caring great with the pups! I was thoroughly impressed with his calm quiet demeanor and how well he did with all the dogs in his care. A truly wonderful person. ❤️❤️❤️

Abner was wonderful with my dog, Chuck! I felt at ease while on vacation because he sent updates, photos, and videos regularly.

Scotty is as AMAZING!! We needed a last minute sitter for our two pups and he was more than happy to jump in. Our dogs loved him and they were super happy and tired after their walks. We will be using him again!

Abner was terrific! He took care of Scout while we went on a family vacation. He sent lots of photos, gave Scout a fantastic experience and was flexible to help with our schedule of dropoff and pickup. Thank you!

Abner took great care of our two dogs, one a senior with lots of pills, and one a very energetic young dog. He was very communicative and our dogs seemed very happy. Would definitely recommend him!

We were hesitant at first. However my daughter convinced me to try Rover. Since she uses it. I came across Abner’s profile Saw all the beautiful reviews.My husband was a bit harder to convince. We met Abner, the way our Metsie reacted we to Abner may the decision easier. We booked. Abner is an amazing dog person We felt good about having him taking care of our FurBaby Diva Metsie. Definitely will use his services again in the future. I want to thank Abner for taking care of our FurBaby Diva Metsie

Safety, trust & environment

In my own home, pets have full access to both the first and second floors, with a serene, wooded environment surrounding the property. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment tailored to the specific needs of each pet. For boarding services, I ensure ample space for play and rest, along with designated areas for meals and relaxation. Regular exercise and interactive playtime are integrated into the daily routine to keep pets mentally and physically stimulated. I adhere to any dietary restrictions and medication schedules diligently, ensuring each pet's health and well-being are top priorities.

A typical day

Throughout the day, I make sure they have fresh water, meals on schedule, and plenty of attention. I tailor activities to their personality some dogs love running around and playing, while others are happiest with cuddle time or practicing a few basic commands for mental stimulation.

I always like to learn about your dog’s unique needs before we spend time together. Knowing their health requirements (like medications or allergies), behavior quirks (such as leash reactivity or separation anxiety), and daily routines helps me make them feel safe and comfortable. I also love hearing about their favorite toys, games, or comforts, as well as anything they dislike or that might stress them out. The more I know, the more I can tailor my care to make sure your pup feels happy, secure, and loved while you’re away.
