Your dog will never want to leave!

Pet care experience

Though I have a lifetime of experience taking care of dogs as pets, what sets me apart from other dog lovers is that I have 2+ years experience as a professional dog handler with Geese Chasers along with a year of experience in the US N avy as a kennel support officer. These experiences provided me with essential skills on caring for & training high energy working dogs, some of which were aggressive towards other dogs or people. Therefore I am capable of caring for dogs of all breeds & personalities, as well as those with behavior issues. I own a 3.3 acres property so there is plenty of room for exploration and fun, dogs are supervised 100% of the time outdoors. I treat every dog as if they were my best friend and would love to see yours!

100/10 recommend Scott! For our first time leaving our dog, cooper, with a sitter, I could not have felt more at ease! He really treated him like one of his own pets and kept me updated daily!

This was my first time using rover and a dog walker and I’m so glad I decided to give it a try! My pups loved Scott from their initial meet and greet, which was a shocker since they usually give new people in the house a hard time. Scott was on time, sent me photos and updates on their behavior through the website and my pups seemed so happy! I am so thrilled we connected with Scott and I hope he’ll be available if I need help again in the future!

Scott was incredible with Mocha. My family was away on vacation when a huge storm washed away the local highway. Scott brought his family and our Mocha to safety until it was safe to return. I couldn't imagine what would have happened if she was in a kennel with 30 other dogs and that happened!! Scott also sent us pictures every day and we could see she was very relaxed and happy to be there. Thank You Scott!!
