Safety, trust & environment

I have fostered dozens of dogs over the years ranging from puppies to senior dogs. Most importantly, I've fostered those dogs alongside my two dog buddies, George and Penny. They are great with other dogs and I'm capable of managing the change in dynamics . I do not have a fenced yard, but your dog will receive several long walks a day. I cannot over outdoor, leash-free playtime on my property. However, my neighborhood has a dog-park I could use if you wish.

Information Scott S. would like to know about your pet

How and when to feed your dog(s). Are they crate trained? Any anxiety issues? Anything else you deem important would be very helpful for me to ensure a great stay.

A typical day

I’m all about walks and making sure dogs get all their smells and sniffs in for the day. I also love to run, so I would be happy to run with your dog for an additional fee. I’m playing college baseball so if your dog loves to play fetch my arm has a few good endings left in it

Pet care experience

Winter temperatures are a great play environment for the cold acclimated breeds. I’ve had several great play adventures outside in the snow this December already. Do you have a high-energy dog that requires an extra gear for adequate exercise? One that doesn’t mind the cold? Then, let's take advantage of the changing seasons and put the lovely temperatures to good use. How about your dog and I team up for an hour walk, a 30 minute run or 30 minute power walk and sniff? In a 30 minute run, your dog and I will likely get 2-3 miles in including sniffs and potty breaks I've got room for 3 new dogs for running twice a week and immediate openings for power walks and sniffs right now! An active dog requires an equally active partner at the other end of the leash. New Rover users, please reach out to me for a code eligible for $20 off. References available if needed

Scott is awesome. He really treats Vega like he's his own. He's helped us a few times and we are always impressed. We'll miss him as we're moving but I'd recommend Scott to anyone.

Scott’s great! He not only walks Copper but plays with him. Has interaction and takes him on adventures with his sniffing nose. Highly recommend
