Home all day to play with pooch

Pet care experience

I have a very well behaved lab and I think I understand the needs and wants of dogs. I love being outside and being active with my dog (Drake) and would love to meet new dogs of all shapes, sizes and ages. If your dog really loves to run I have a custom scooter built for pulling which I exercise my dog with in the cooler months which I could work on with your large breed dog. I have never met a dog I didnt like and if needed I would be willing to work on skills training for your dog. I work night shift so I'm very free during the day to let your dog out or take him/her for midday walk and potty break.

First walk with Khloe was great! This was their first time meeting and I think they will be good friends and have many walks together. Scott has experience with big dogs and I was looking for someone who I knew would be able to handle my gentle giant. Very happy to have found Scott for Khloe!!

Scott boarded my dog in his home for several days and he went above and beyond in his care of my dog. Not only did he take him for walks in the freezing weather, but he also kept me updated with daily pictures and messages that really gave me the peace of mind I was looking for. He made pick up/drop off very easy and was kind, caring and gracious, not to mention my dog LOVES him. My dog is pretty high energy and also a pretty big boy, but Scott was so great with him! I will never take my dog to the local kennel again to be boarded as long as Scott is around, and will never look anywhere else for a dog walker either. Scott is the BEST and my dog and I highly recommend him!

No need to second guess your decision to hire Scott. He went above and beyond to care for our 3 dogs. He even shoveled a little path for them when it snowed, we will definitely be using him for future travel. Scott cares about his clients; he will text you how things are going. Thank you again Scott.

Anyone needing someone to watch their pups, look no further. Scott is "the" guy. We all love our dogs as our children. And yet, when the time comes that we must trust the well being of our children to someone else, all manner of insecurity creeps in. It's a given for dog lovers. Scott was absolutely amazing with my Phoenix. The way he instantly took to her, jumping on him and all. He had no problem using my 26 foot extending leash. He brought his own bag to clean up after her. He stayed out with her way past the proposed time. He came in the evening when I needed him most. Not to seem too dramatic, but Scott is the kind of a guy you get a warm feeling just standing next to him. Isn't this the kind of person you would want caring for those special heartbeats at your feet??? He was for me and my girl. As I said, look no further for someone you can trust to watch your kids. I'm grateful to have found him for all my future needs. Thanks a million my friend.

Information Scott J. would like to know about your pet

Prefer dogs that like to play with other dogs. My Lab loves playing with all dogs, large and small. I can do solo trips for the lone wolf though.

A typical day

With the right dog we could go swimming, running, sled dogging with a scooter or leisurely walking down the trail smelling everything.
