Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. I'm available for walks, drop-ins, and extended care, and I structure my days around the needs of the pets I'm caring for. Because my schedule is adaptable, I'm able to maintain reliable routines - feeding times, walks, medications, and play - which helps pets feel secure and settled. I'm especially well-suited for pets who benefit from steady presence, patience, and a calm environment.

About Scott H.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety, comfort, and routine come first in every home I care for. I take time to understand each pet's habits, personality, and any special needs so I can keep their environment calm, predictable, and stress-free. In a client's home, I respect your space as carefully as I care for your pet - keeping doors secured, following feeding and medication instructions closely, and maintaining your pet's normal schedule as much as possible. I'm attentive to small changes in behavior or appetite and communicate promptly so you always feel informed and at ease. I'm comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including seniors and those needing medications. Walks are attentive and controlled, with secure leashes and awareness of surroundings at all times. At the moment, I focus on care in your home (drop-ins, walks, and house sitting) so pets can stay where they feel most comfortable and secure.

Information Scott H. would like to know about your pet

I like to understand each pet’s routine, temperament, and any special needs ahead of time. Helpful details include feeding schedules, exercise preferences, medications, sensitivities, and how they interact with other animals or people. I also appreciate knowing about any anxieties, triggers, or behaviors to watch for, as well as emergency contact and vet information. The more I know upfront, the more I can provide safe, consistent, and personalized care.

A typical day

Activities are tailored to each pet’s personality and energy level. That can include walks, runs, playtime with favorite toys, gentle games, or simply spending quiet time together for pets who prefer a calmer pace. I pay close attention to what each pet enjoys and follow their cues, making sure they feel comfortable, engaged, and happy rather than overwhelmed. Whether it’s active play or relaxed companionship, the goal is a positive, stress-free experience.

Pet care experience

Lifelong animal person with 25+ years as a multi-pet owner and caregiver. I provide calm, attentive, and genuinely affectionate care, always following each pet’s personality and comfort cues. I’ve cared for puppies through senior pets, including administering medications, bathing, and daily care routines. Experienced with boarding pets in my home, transporting cats long distances, and creating safe, enriching environments (I’ve even built pet furniture). I’m also comfortable caring for fish, birds, reptiles, and other small animals. Responsible, observant, and a little over-the-top in the attention department — your pet won’t just be watched, they’ll be known.

Scott H is one of the most caring people I know. He loves animals and they love him back more. He has a gentle touch, a soothing voice and a caring heart which helps form a bond with pets, whether it be a dog or cat or other animal, it helps reduce stress, build trust and foster a deep connection. We have had multiple pets and have watched many other pets over the years and all of them immediately warm up to him. I have seen him first hand put the pets needs over his own. Scott is genuine, reliable, respectful and a great communicator. I would highly recommend him to watch my pet again. I give Scott 5 stars! ❤️
