Information Scott F. would like to know about your pet

Most folks like me to meet their pets beforehand, particularly if they’ve had issues other places with some of their dogs behaviors. Rest assured I have dealt with difficult dogs and it has been my experience that dogs do want to do what you want them to do they just don’t always know what that is, so I focus on making myself clear to them and I strive to keep their schedule and structure here as much as it is at their home

A typical day

I am Big on schedule, structured play, a peaceful environment, and a place made for dogs and safe for dogs. We like to hike, swim play fetch

Pet care experience

I have cared for and trained dogs since my time in the army (39 years) My specialty is exercising your dog (great for large/energetic dogs) It is my sole function. It is what I do best. It is what I love and your dog will be the beneficiary of many years of service to our canid friends I can care for your pet at your house but only if you have enough space for them to truly exercise otherwise I will host

Scott is very caring & attentive. I could tell Bindi was happy with her stay. I felt very comfortable with their home & surroundings.

Scott was great with Bonnie and was really communicative while I was on my work trip

Scott stayed at our house and watched our two dogs at the last minute over a holiday weekend. We can’t thank him enough and thought he did a great job handling our two reactive and scared dogs. He came over and met the dogs two days before our trip, which we really appreciated. We highly recommend Scott.

Scott was great with the dogs and even gave them baths before we got home. He cleaned the house which was really nice. We knew the dogs were in good hands!
