Meet Scotty: Your Covington Pet Sitter

When you hire someone to care for your dog, the most important question isn’t about a company. It’s about a person. Who will be at your door? Who will hold the leash? Who will notice that your dog skipped his breakfast? At Dogs Love Me, the answer is always Scotty. Recently retired and living in Covington, WA, he built this business to spend his days doing what he loves, which is caring for dogs, and he does the work himself.

A Second Career Built Around a Real Passion

After a long career, many people look forward to slowing down. Scotty chose a different path. Being retired gave him the time to focus on what he’s always enjoyed, working with dogs, and Dogs Love Me is the result. It’s not a franchise, a staffing agency, or a side project. It’s one person’s way of spending his days well, and that shows in the way he approaches every visit.

Over the years, Scotty has built hands-on experience in the things that matter to dog owners: training, exercising, grooming, and attending to medical issues. That range means he’s comfortable with more than a basic walk or a bowl refill. A senior dog on medication, an energetic young dog learning his manners, a dog who needs a bath and a brush, all are things he knows how to handle.

Why One-on-One Care Matters

Because Scotty personally handles every visit, your dog gets the same caregiver every time. That consistency matters. Dogs learn who to trust, and a familiar face makes a nervous dog feel safer. A single caregiver also notices changes: a limp that wasn’t there last week, a lack of appetite, a new fear of something that never bothered him before. Those observations can make a real difference, and you’ll hear about them directly.

There’s no call center, no app, and no rotating roster of sitters. When you call, Scotty answers, and when you have a question, you ask the person who was actually with your dog. That directness is simple, but many pet owners find it more reassuring than any amount of marketing.

Dogs Love Me offers three services, each priced openly. In-home dog sitting is $65 per hour, with Scotty caring for your dog in his own home. Dog walking is $25 per hour for dogs of any size. A Doggie Day Adventure is $100 for four to six hours, with group walks and individual playtime. Scotty is open seven days a week, from 8am to 5pm.

Here is what you can expect when you work with him:

• Years of hands-on experience with dogs of all kinds
• Comfort with training, exercise, grooming, and medical needs
• Personal attention on every single visit
• A business built around a genuine love of dogs
• Direct communication, with no call center or app in between

Making Introductions Easy

You shouldn’t have to commit to anything before you’ve had a conversation, and Scotty is happy to talk before you book. He’ll ask about your dog’s age, habits, health, and quirks, and explain how each service works. If he thinks a different service would suit your dog better, he’ll say so. The goal is the right match, not the quickest sale.

That conversation is also a chance to see whether you’re comfortable with him. Trust is the foundation of good pet care, and it’s built through honest questions and honest answers. Take your time, ask whatever you like, and decide at your own pace.

Based in Covington, Serving the Neighborhood and Beyond

Covington is where Scotty lives, and it’s where he knows the neighborhoods, parks, and walking routes best. From there, he travels up to 15 miles for work under eight hours and up to 30 miles for longer visits, reaching communities such as Maple Valley, Kent, Black Diamond, Auburn, and Renton. If you’re not sure whether your address is in range, just ask.

Whether you’re looking for a regular walker, a sitter for a trip, or a day of fun for an active dog, a phone call is the best place to start. Scotty will listen, answer your questions, and tell you plainly what he can offer.
