I work from home so anything works for me. Your dog will have plenty of outdoor time while I am home so that they aren’t stuck inside all day

Information Scott D. would like to know about your pet

If they like kids, being around other dogs or if they would prefer to be in their own space. Some dogs don't like to be bothered with high energy dogs or kids. Also knowing specific commands that they respond to

A typical day

I live by a baseball field that I have access. It is a lot of space to run around and have fun. I also like to go to South Mountain Reservation on mini hikes that the dogs would enjoy as well. All on leash of course.

Caring, gentle, active animal lover

Pet care experience

I am a previous owner of a beautiful Golden Retriever and a Cocker Spaniel. I am also currently a FUNcle to my sister's 100 pound German Shepherd who adores me and I him. I recently moved out of NYC and back to NJ and a lot of my friends parents have asked me to come by to let their pups out and take them on walks every so often when they're away. I would love to take care of your pet as well.

Scott is a great sitter. Our corgi loved her time with him. He communicates well and genuinely likes caring for pets. Strongly recommend him and will work with him in the future.

Scott has been watching my dog for years! I appreciate the fact that he can handle my large and sometimes clumsy German Shepherd. He is responsible, trustworthy, and communicates in a timely fashion. He always gives me regular updates (and photos) of my dog during their walks and playtime. He has stayed overnight in our home and gone above and beyond - cleaning dishes, taking out the trash, and getting the mail/large packages. He spends so much quality time with my dog and I can tell he cares about him as much as I do! One time he even found a tick on my dog and removed it with tweezers. Scott is an extremely reliable walker/caretaker and I would recommend him to anyone!
