Pet care experience

Reliable and flexible pet care

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!

Pets

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!

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.

Scott provides so much love and care to our two dogs, Molly and Riley. He plays with them regularly and makes sure they get their walks daily. He is so attentive to their needs and is always the first to notice when something seems off with one of them. He is persistent in getting to the bottom of whatever is going on so we can provide them with the proper care that they need. Riley is an older dog and needs extra love and attention which Scott continues to offer her daily. Molly is young and energetic so Scott spends a lot of time playing ball with her. If you are looking for someone who genuinely loves animals and is a great caretaker of your furry family members, Scott is your guy!
