About Scott K.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
In my home, I offer positive reinforcement in the form of treats and kibbles to my own dog who is very food motivated. I try to make sure that the environment supports good behavior, therefore we use baby gates to ensure both our dog and cat can coexist. We also crate the dog over night, and ensure that things within reach are secure so as to ensure the dog's safety.
Information Scott K. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if there are any needs or triggers I should be aware of to best support your dog. If there are any training goals you are working on, I am happy to support that while I take care of your dog.
A typical day
Take your pets on a meandering walk where they can get lots of sniffs in. If they like fetch, we'll find a safe place to throw the ball around. Finally, we'll get some energy out through tug and training back at home, making sure your furry friend gets lots of pets and attention.

Pet care experience
I'm an owner of an at times reactive dog, so I am no stranger to dealing with sometimes aggressive behavior. Over the years caring for my own dog, she has improved in handling triggering situations through my own awareness and positive reinforcement. I'm also a teacher. Like children, supporting dogs' behavior requires positive reinforcement and making sure their needs are met. I'm comfortable with small groups of dogs, and have managed my own dog interacting with my in-law's three dogs. As your dog walker, I will provide your pets the same care and attention I give my own. As a sitter, I will make sure your pet gets the love and attention they usually get while you are away. I am clean, quiet and responsible, and will make sure your house in in the same condition when you return.
Cat care experience
Scott also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Scott is communicative about his schedule and easy to work with. We really appreciate how patient and careful he is with Cody, as Cody can be reactive on walks. We would definitely book again!
Scott is a kind, experienced dog walker who did great with two leash reactive dogs on a long walk. Quite impressive. New returning customer for sure, highly recommend him.
Scott exceeded all expectations. He is thoughtful, communicative and loves dogs. He was perfect on all counts and I highly recommend him.
Scott was terrific! My girls loved him and he was great about sending pics and updates while I was gone. Would have him back anytime!
