Pet care experience

I am a lifetime dog lover and had a dog for 16 years. I have been walking dogs and house sitting for 5 years. I am willing to go the extra mile and will cater to your needs. Very responsible college graduate with a bachelors degree in psychology. My other job is working with children who have been adopted out of the foster care system.

What a relief to have found Scott! Our dog Teddy Girl is a high-maintenance rescue dog with anxiety that ebbs and flows depending on the day. We get very nervous leaving her with anyone. Scott was understanding, professional, mature, and took great care of her. He updated us daily with her attitude and behavior, as well as sending us pictures. We hope we can use Scott again in the future, best Pet Sitter/ Pet Boarding experience we have ever had.Thanks Scott!

Scott could not have been a better pet/housesitter. There were no problems whatsoever. We would definitely hire him again!

Scott was great and really communicative. He sent daily pictures of my little Finnie boy and Finn had a great time with Scott. Definitely will book again!

Scott was Fabulous with Brandy. He took her to the beach and on walks and helped her feel at ease for her first time away from us. Couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver experience

My schedule is quite varied, but the longest I would need to be away from your house would be 5 hours (most days I could get back in less than 4 hours). I can also often bring your dog with me to work if they are good with kids and house broken.
