Away from home and missing my pups

Apart from working after-school at my uncle’s pet hotel in El Salvador. My greatest pet experience has been caring and raising my two border collies and my poodle… I can handle crazy energetic dogs. I have basic training experience but what I excel and have experience at is giving your pup the attention and love they deserve to have a great time and feel comfortable.

Doggy Day Care • Aug 17, 2026

Samuel is a border collie fan and that is why I booked him on Rover. He definitely knows dogs and how to make them feel comfortable. Kona did not want to leave the car for doggy care.......but afterwards, she was happy and contented according to the pictures that Samuel sent me. I would contact Samuel again if I had another opportunity to go to Seattle and sight see. Thanks, Samuel.

My puppy looks forward to spending time with Samuel and Alex for every daycare visit! She will literally watch to see them come out and get her in the morning 😄 Samuel and Ale are really kind and I’m glad Aya is getting the care she needs while I go to work

Our pup Matcha had a great time at Samuel’s. He and his partner sent regular updates throughout the day and cared for Matcha just like it was their own dog.

Doggy Day Care • Jul 06, 2026

Sam and his girlfriend were amazing dog daycare providers. They love dogs and it really shows. We stopped in Seattle to see a ball game and they took our dogs out for a long walk and gave them lots of affection. Couldn’t be happier. If you live in Seattle or are passing through definitely hit Sam up. You won’t be disappointed.

Schedule

I currently work part time and have a very flexible schedule. I also have a car, so depending on the distance and day I could be willing to pick up or drop off. I want to take your pup on my daily jog or hang out with them while I do my homework.

Safety, trust & environment

I have had a great time since I came to the USA, but my daily dose of doggy seratonin has been the one thing missing. I live in a very well lit apartment with no balcony. There’s a lot of walkable areas around my apartment. Additionally my work is a block away from my apartment, so I never have to leave for more than a couple hours.

A typical day

I go for a run every morning and it would be great to have good company. I love to play with dogs and always carry treats with me. I’m young and energetic so with dogs I like to play fetch, frisby, and also cuddle when it’s time to settle down.

Please connect with me about any special needs your dog has. I’m also happy to accommodate any special diets that your dog has as long as you can provide me with it. If possible provide me with some of their favorite toys and let me know about their favorite treats.
