Pet care experience

I'm a life-long dog lover with over 45 years of experience loving and caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I'm a retired police officer and stay-at-home-Dad looking to fill my time playing with and caring for your dog. I'm happy to exercise your dog in whatever way is needed, whether a long run, a short walk, playing fetch or some mental stimulation. Currently "owned" by a rambunctious and mischievous wheaten terrier named Toby and our 13 month old Juniper plus 5 yr old Rowan. I have (some) experience with training dogs too. Dogs I've worked with/loved: wheaten terriers, border collies, german shepherds, dobermans, golden retrievers, American eskimos, lhasa apsos, poodles, yorkies, pugs, boxers, dachshunds, mix-breeds, and lots of rescues!

Scott is a wonderful caregiver for my dog Jasper. He takes the time to learn about my dog’s needs and is a great companion for Jasper in my absence. Jasper took to him immediately which “says it all!” Scott is timely, communicative, and responsible for all of my wishes for Jasper’s care. Top notch, highly recommend!

Scott did a great job with my cat Izzy. He sent me notes about her day and even grabbed a package from my porch for me. I was impressed and will absolutely use him in the future!
