Safety, trust & environment

I do not offer boarding in my home. I find there is no better place than a pets home that is familiar with the scent of his or hers people close at hand.

Information Scott M. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences. Would prefer the dog is used to walking on a leash but also happy to help in the training process with a puppy

A typical day

Parks in the area. If permissable, take them for a ride and easy hikes in the foothills or well lit areas that are safe for them as well as me.

Dog's put a smile on my face.

Pet care experience

I grew up on a small farm in Kansas where I raised 4-H calves, groomed horses and we always had a variety of dogs of all sizes and breeds through the years. My last dog was my boy Rudy. He was a beautiful fawn colored Pug with loads of personality. I have always treated pets like family. The safety and welfare of your canine companion is my top priority. When walking, I always err on the side of caution avoiding other dogs and or people if necessary. I walk myself every morning and every evening so I would love to have your furry friend join me. At the present, I am dogless, but given the opportunity to love on your dog would be a joy and an honor!

Scott did a great job taking care of our home and dogs! The dogs instantly liked him, and he sent photos and updates to us during our trip, as we had agreed upon. One of our dogs came down with a UTI just before we left, and Scott was just fine administering the additional medication that she needed to take for that. (she's all better now! Yay!) Our home was clean when we returned and Scott even kept the outdoor plants alive while we were away - in spite of the dry weather and heat. We look forward to having Scott as a house sitter again!

Scott is an attentive caregiver. He gives our dog everything she needs and she is comfortable with him.

Scott was caring and reliable in taking care of our dog and our house. He gave her lots of exercise and was careful to avoid other dogs and sent us pictures. He clearly has a lot of experience and carefully followed our directions. He’s a gem!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
