I am currently a stay-at-home dad but as the kids have grown, they need me less and less. This gives me a lot of flexibility to care for and play with your pets! I can be available most hours of the day and night and am available on weekends.

Safety, trust & environment

We play a lot in our house. Our Cattle Dog will fetch the ball for hours if we will throw it. Our Labrador likes to lay in the sunshine and watch. Not a lot of running for her! I will play with your pets and ensure they get the exercise and attention they need when you are away from home. You can rest assured that they will be well cared for!

Information Scott R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or personality traits that I should be aware of. I am willing to work with all breeds.

A typical day

I'm here for whatever your dog needs in terms of play/exercise. My dogs enjoy walks around the neighborhood, occasional trips to the dog park and lots of ball for the young one. If your dog has a favorite route through the neighborhood I would love to learn it! I also keep tennis balls and a chuck-it in my car incase a game of ball breaks out.

Reliable and flexible pet care

Pet care experience

I have been an animal lover my entire life. When I was a teenager, I had an older dog with declining health. I was her caretaker, making sure she had her medications and was provided with the proper diet. I even had a crib in my room where she slept. I truly believe our dogs and cats are more than just pets, they are members of our family. We have two dogs in our family, a 9 ½ year old Labrador and a 3-year-old Cattle Dog. They are definitely at different energy levels but both love to play and snuggle!

Scott is a highly responsible and loving pet caregiver. Scott has taken excellent care of our Collie, Belle, for the past ten years when I am out of town or away for a day. He has walked, fed, played and attended to special food and medications as needed for Belle. When Belle was ill, Scott provided gentle encouragement for her and showed compassion for me as a worried dog owner. Scott is very organized, dependable, and goes the extra mile. I always know that Belle is safe when I leave home. I highly recommend Scott for the services provided by Rover.

I have asked Scott many times to come and care for my pets when I need help. Scott is a reliable, pleasant and trust worthy choice for us and our three fur babies. I prefer to ask him over anyone else because I know he loves our dogs and also, more importantly, they love him. There's something special about having a caregiver that you know loves animals. I always know they are well taken care of, and loved. I would recommend Scott any time to provide excellent and complete care for any pet.
