I work almost fully remote. I do go into the office of my job (about 20 minutes away) 2 days a week but only for a few hours. I’m home quite often and have a flexible day-to-day schedule to love and care for your pet as much as needed.

Information Scott R. would like to know about your pet

There are no breeds that are off limits. I ask that you please provide any necessary/helpful information about your pet (medications, preferences, etc.). I want to make sure I’m providing the best possible care for them.

A typical day

I love taking them for walks, playing games with them inside, and providing lots of attention and scratches. I truly enjoy spending time with a pet and making them feel comfortable and happy.

Scott is amazing! He was able to help me with a last minute request for my husky Ash! Very friendly, and Ash loved him. I would recommend 100%!

This was our first time using Rover for sitting and Scott put us totally at ease. We set up a meet and greet beforehand and he asked important questions and shared some additional details about himself. We were out of the country for a week and Scott made sure to give us updates and send pic mail throughout our trip. When we picked up Zoey, she was full of energy and looked like a happy girl. We would gladly book with Scott again in the future

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.
