Pet care experience

Stay At Home Dad Loves Pets!

I love my pets almost as much as I love my 4 kids. I've had pets all my life including dogs, cats, and ferrets. My family currently has 3 cats. My wife, and four children also enjoy opening our house to foster cats. Since my kids are school-aged now, I have lots of time during the day to spend with your pet. The unconditional love I get from animals is the best part of pet sitting. I am also pretty handy with tools if you have any small home repairs you need, let me know and I can work on them while I am watching your pet. I hope I have the chance to get to know your pet and love them as much as you do!

Very happy with Scott! The dogs were happy, meds were given, house was tidy, he took the trash out without even asking.. and the pictures and text messages were nice to see while we were out of town for a week. Thanks Scott :)

Scott has taken care of our cat several times over the past year and does a fantastic job. He gives our diabetic cat insulin injections and feeds her. He takes time every visit to sit with our cat and pet her while she is without us. Scott sends pictures and updates every time he visits. We will books with him again in the future!

Scott is wonderful with our dogs. He gives them lots of love and exercise. It’s so nice to have someone we trust to check in on our loved ones when we are away for a while.

Safety, trust & environment

I would enjoy watching your pet at your home. My yard is not fenced in. I do have a basement with a door that would be perfect to use to integrate a pet with my cats. My cats do adapt well to other cats. They have not encountered dogs, yet!

Pets

A typical day

I love to play ball or stick with dogs. I also love to play chase or tug-o-war. Lots of love and pets and I allow kisses. I love to go for walks! With cats, I love to play with stick toys or just quietly sit and let cats come to me.
