Must Love Dogs.
Pet care experience
Here to take care of dogs just as much as they take care of us. Ever since I was 5 in the midst of a large family, I had assigned myself the point person of responsibility caring for our household pets. I thought I was the female Cesar Milan, I really did. In the last 20 years things have transcended into helping friends, neighbors, and family acquaintances remind their animals that they are loved and that Mom and Dad will be right back! My experiences have introduced me to dogs, cats, horses, bunnies, guinea pigs, turtles, children and chickens. I can confidently say that I am trusted, but there's always more trust to gain! The truest answer I can give as to why I am signing up for Rover is that now, more than ever, and with all my childhood pets having passed away, it's been too long since I've had that reminiscent responsibility and I am craving animal connection again. I can imagine the feeling is mutual for many other sitters on here. This program seems to be a win-win for all, if we're being honest! I'm just really excited to get to know your beloved fur baby and to learn in this new experience!
Reviews
Spencer was a wonderful with Theo. She filled his day with activities and he would come home a completely different pup.
Spencer has been a great pet sitter for years for my dog Frankie! She’s taken care of him for extended periods of time, she is my go to person. She’s great with animals and genuinely loves spending time with them- I’d recommend her as a walker, or sitter, to anyone.
Spencer is the BEST! My pups absolutely love her. Shes always available, on time for walks, and treats my mutts like like they’re her own. Could not have asked for a better pup sitter over my 4 day work trip...she even video chatted me and sent me pics of the girls while I was traveling!
Before I moved Spencer was walking my dog Luna almost every other day while I was at work. She is friendly, reliable and would do last minute walks for me all the time! A couple of times I had Spencer take care of Luna while I was away for work or went on a trip during the weekend. Highly recommend!

Safety, trust & environment
I abide by any ground rules set between owner and their pet, be it no couch or human bed, but I also will fully allow it if that’s the regular behavior for the pet. I am pretty easy going but strict in training/ behavior issues. I do love working on a challenge.
Information Spencer L. would like to know about your pet
Just a head's up on any behavioral issues would be great. I do not discriminate breeds, every dog is different! I have done dog training too and would happy to administer new skills or emphasize working on certain things with your pooch! Also if there is anything special that your pup likes I really want to make them feel as comfortable and happy as possible! Separation can be scary for a lot of us!!
A typical day
I'm always exploring new areas such as Adam's Point in Durham, dog-friendly Seapoint beach in Kittery, or the trails of Odiorne State Park. There are also beautiful trails around my dad’s property on a very quiet, safe dead end street. If we're feeling a lot of energy maybe a hike close by on Mt Agamenticus, or some needed social time at the dog park! You already know I'm asking your dog what they want to do today- whether it's napping or adventuring we loving it all!!
