An automated back and belly scratcher having a telescopically adjustable shaft and having a hand-shaped portion attached at one end of the shaft. The hand-shaped portion has fingers that may be used for scratching or massaging the back or belly of a user or of a pet such as a dog or a cat. The shaft has a plurality of segments which may be telescopically positioned within one another, in order to maximally extend the shaft, or alternately, to retract the shaft into a storage position. The back and belly scratcher is provided with a motor in mechanical contact with the fingers of the hand-shaped portion, thereby enabling a user to selectively move the fingers by activating the motor. The motor has two modes of operation, one that produces a repetitive finger motion comprising successively and sequentially tapping each of the different fingers, in turn, and one that comprises simultaneous in-and-out finger motion of all of the fingers.
