So this is probably easier than it should be, but I have created a mask on a layer, and I am trying to animate the object within the mask, but when I try to scale it, the mask scales too. Can I keep the mask the same size and just scale the object?

Use a track matte.

Do what DoTheMacerena said . Put your mask on a blank solid, put that above the other one you want to scale then select 'Alpha Matte' in the track matte panel

listen to dodecahedron and dothemacarena—not to be a dick, but fixmiller's solution makes the comp more unneccessarily convoluted.
a precomp isn't needed unless you want the mask to apply to several layers, but even then pickwhipping can tie maskpaths together.
