Pet care experience

Dog care specialist, ready to help!

I have been responsible for dogs ever since I was 10. I have raised four different dogs from when they were puppies to elderly. I can speak their language and an act as an expert dog body language interpreter. I am gentle enough to handle small dogs and strong enough to handle 100+ lbs ones, as well.

Scott was very accommodating to our schedule and took excellent care of our dog, Ginger. He kept us updated on how she was doing, so I felt very sure I had chosen the right sitter. Will definitely have Scott take care of Ginger again.

Drop-In Visits • Jul 14, 2025

Very appreciative of Scott accepting my last minute booking. We reached out when we realized what we thought would be a shorter day trip was turning into an entire day outing. He stopped by and walked my German Shepherd and Jack Russell terrier. Fed them, gave them some love & attention and got their water refilled. He did a great job and sent me all of the communication and photos when he was checking in walking and checking out. I recommend Scott highly to anyone who needs help with pets!

Absolutely thrilled with the care my dog (Norman) received! Scott was attentive, responsible, and loving. He is very flexible and accommodating as well. My pup was happy and healthy when I returned, and the regular updates and photos were appreciated. Highly recommend Scott for anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter!

Safety, trust & environment

I love dogs! I grew up with Old English Sheepdogs and have had two as an adult. I'm a believer in routine and consistency. My own dog, who is 8 years old, is our fur baby and gets walked 3 times a day, rain or shine. I love being outside getting exercise with him, and keeping him socialized with other dogs and people. We spend lots of time playing and snuggling.
