Information Scott R. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to know about your pets body language, quirks, or even the little things that make them happy. Whatever info you can share is more than welcome. I hope I can be someone your pet is excited to see!

A typical day

It brings me so much joy to see pets engaged and active. This can be walks, running, or even just simply having someone to rest their head on. Every pet is different and my goal is to learn your pets needs and customize what I offer to create the best experience for your pet.

Scott was amazing with our two dogs! He took fantastic care of our dogs and our home while we were away. We got regular updates and communication which gave us the reassurance they were in great hands. They got daily walks and playtime. Highly recommend Scott and would rebook him in the future!

Scott was great!! Took care of our cats and dog and gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were happy and well taken care of while we were away.

Scott’s been great with our two dogs. One dog is pretty skittish around strangers and Scott was patient, giving our dog room and time to warm up. I would definitely recommend Scott.

Scott was awesome with my Great Pyrenees - took him for a long walk and tired him out, just like I hoped for!
