Get to know us

Welcome to Pet Sitting with Scott — your trusted partner for professional pet sitting, dog walking, and house sitting services throughout the U.S. and internationally. I’m Scott, a dedicated and compassionate pet sitter with years of experience caring for animals through TrustedHousesitters.com. From cuddly cats to high-energy dogs, I’ve cared for pets in homes around the world, offering a calm presence, thoughtful care, and personalized attention while their humans are away.

As a certified pet care professional, I hold a Basic Life Support (RECOVER CPR) certification for dogs through the American College of Veterinary Emergency & Critical Care, and I’m a proud member of Pet Sitters International (PSI). I bring the same level of responsibility and love to each pet sit as I would for my animals. My experience includes volunteer work at two respected California shelters: Marin Humane in Novato and the Humane Society of Ojai, where I served as a dog walker and animal companion. These roles deepened my understanding of canine behavior and enhanced my ability to handle pets with varying temperaments and needs.

In addition to in-home pet care, I support animal rescue and adoption efforts as a web designer for nonprofit pet rescue organizations. I manage and maintain websites like SecondChancesRedListers.com, SendRoveronOver.net (A Home for Rover Inc.), and work with platforms like RescueGroups.org to help save pets from euthanasia lists and find them safe, loving homes. At Pet Sitting with Scott, I believe in making pets feel secure, seen, and loved in their environment. Whether you’re looking for a reliable cat sitter, experienced dog sitter, or overnight house sitter, I’m here to offer trustworthy, heart-centered care that puts pets first.

Our mission

We're on a mission to enhance the lives of pets and their owners through love, compassion, training, and positive reinforcement.

Our vision

We want to live in a world where people view animals as sentient beings and treat them with the same respect and understanding as they would a human being.

Intuitive, Heart-Centered Pet Care

At Pet Sitting with Scott, compassionate care goes beyond feeding schedules and playtime. As an empath and intuitive, I naturally connect with animals on a deeper level—tuning into their moods, needs, and personalities in a way that fosters trust and calm. This intuitive bond allows me to care for your pets with sensitivity, presence, and respect for their unique energy.

In addition to traditional pet sitting services, I also offer gentle energy healing support through Reiki and other energy balancing techniques. Whether your pet is anxious, aging, recovering, or simply enjoys the extra connection, energy work can bring soothing comfort, promote relaxation, and support overall well-being.

Your pets are part of your family—and when they’re in my care, I treat them like they’re part of mine.

Our team

Our strength lies in our individuality and the experience that developed it. We care about all animals, especially your pets.
