Safety, trust & environment

While I'm not typically able to host pets in my own home, I've created a safe, comfortable environment for my two cats, with everything they need to feel secure and happy. I bring that same attention to safety and comfort to every home I care for. Don't be surprised if the place looks better than you left it :)

Information Scott H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any special needs, behaviors, or preferences so I can plan accordingly. My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care.

A typical day

For cats, I focus on keeping them active and engaged through regular playtime and making mealtime enjoyable. For dogs, I offer long walks - I'm an on-again-off-again runner, so active pets are always welcome.

Caring cat parent & pet lover 🐾

Pet care experience

I've been a dedicated pet parent for years and love every minute of it! My girlfriend and I adopted our two cats, Theo and Violet, as kittens, and they've been our best friends ever since. Caring for two cats with different needs (Theo's a picky eater, Violet is anything but; IYKYK) has taught me the value of patience and attentiveness to each animal's individual personality. I prioritize daily playtime, consistent routines, and genuine attention, and I bring that same level of care to every pet I look after.

As always, we are so happy with Scott’s care for our cat. He communicates well; he pays attention to the environment; he is prompt and consistent; and our Merton receives plenty of loving attention. My partner and I always feel a little anxious when we leave town, but we feel at more at ease knowing Scott will be checking on our cat. I hope we will be able to continue calling on Scott’s services as long as we are in the neighborhood. I would recommend Scott highly to any pet owner.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
