Pet care experience

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.

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.

Doggy Day Care • Jul 01, 2026

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Daniel was absolutely amazing! I can’t recommend him highly enough. I’m traveling full-time across the country with my senior border collie, documenting music history for Rock ‘n’ Roll Highway, so leaving her with someone even for a few hours while I visit museums is something I never take lightly. Daniel made the entire experience stress-free. Sugar was there from 10 to 3, and I received around 20 photos and videos while she was with him. It honestly felt like she had her own little photo shoot! She looked so happy, relaxed, and genuinely cared for. When I picked her up, I could tell she had been loved. She was so comfortable with Daniel that I almost felt like she was thinking, “Wait…I have to leave now?” 😂 That says everything. His location is also perfect if you’re visiting Seattle attractions like the Museum of Pop Culture or Pike Place Market. It made my day incredibly easy. As someone who depends on Rover while traveling, I can honestly say Daniel is one of my all-time favorite daycare providers. I would trust him with Sugar again without hesitation, and if there were a Daniel in every city I visit, I’d use Rover constantly. Thank you, Daniel, for taking such wonderful care of Sugar. Highest recommendation possible!

Samuel and Ale took great care of our girl! They treater her like their own and sent us a bunch of pics. They were also incredibly accommodating with her given she was in heat at the time. We’re very thankful for how well our Nami was taken care of and highly recommend them!

Samuel and his partner were amazing. We were nervous about leaving our baby since she is 16 and has health issues and never has used this service before but they were so gentle and attentive with Bella. I was getting updates with pictures and videos during her stay which made me feel more comfortable. Will definitely recommend to anyone.

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.
