Information Spencer S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any special needs or attention you would like your dog to have. Information such as: temperament, comfortability around other people/pets, allergies, known triggers, toys or other mental simulations that they are allowed and enjoy, and any other details the owner believes to be relevant to provide their pet with the highest level of quality care.

A typical day

Depending on the dog and permission from the owner, I have many fun activities that I like to do with dogs. I go to Puptown dog park, a safe and fenced in dog park where dog-friendly dogs can go to run and play. I also love walking around town and through different parks and by the lake.

Spencer is the best dog walker and sitter I have ever had! My sweet boy, Ollie, loves hanging out with Spencer for overnight visits and going on long walks around the city with him. Oliver is a high-energy dog, and he always comes back happy and sleepy after hanging out with Spencer. I trust Spencer to care for your doggo like his own. He is trustworthy, attentive, and communicative, and I know he is the perfect person to care for your pup.

Spencer is the best doggy caregiver you could get! He’s been around since the beginning days of having my pup and has always been so caring and attentive to him. His animal science background gives me peace of mind knowing that he has knowledge beyond general pet ownership & can properly take care of my dog. 10/10 recommend!

Spencer took great care of my dog Bella in my home. He sent us lots of pics and spent lots of time with her being active and wearing her out so she wasn’t too lonely or bored without us. He seems like a very genuine, empathetic, and knowledge young man and I would highly recommend Spencer for any of your pet caregiving needs!
