Pet care experience
I've taken care of dogs for years-- from my mom's small dogs (maltese) to large dogs like German Shepherd, Pit Bull Terrier/Mastiff mixes or Bernese Mountain dogs, I've been taking care of dogs of all shapes and sizes and energy levels for the better part of my life. I also have lots of experience working as a volunteer with different dog rescues, so I'm very familiar with specific needs of rescue dogs and how to approach and handle them with care.
Reviews
Spenser helped take care of my anxious little 10 lb chihuahua/terrier on and off for a couple of years - she's literally THE BEST with dogs (small and big alike). Highly highly highly recommend.
I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Spenser as not just a pet caregiver, but a compassionate advocate for the well-being of all dogs. During her time in LA, Spenser went above and beyond by temporarily fostering and transporting at-risk dogs, demonstrating her commitment to giving every dog a chance at a loving home. Her active advocacy for no-kill shelters reflects her dedication to the cause and her belief in second chances for all animals. Spenser’s approach to dog care is both dog-friendly and dog-forward, setting a standard that is truly remarkable. With a German Shepherd mix of her own that she rescued, she embodies the principle of rescue and care in her everyday life. It’s clear that her actions are driven by a genuine love and respect for dogs, making her a standout caregiver on Rover.com. They often say dogs are man’s best friend, but in Spenser’s case, she is unequivocally a dog’s best friend. Her understanding and nurturing approach to pet care is unparalleled. Whether it’s her advocacy work, her personal commitment to her rescued dog, or her exceptional caregiving skills, Spenser represents the best of what a pet caregiver can be. For anyone looking for a responsible, loving, and proactive pet caregiver, I cannot recommend Spenser highly enough. She doesn’t just watch over pets; she treats them as family, providing the care, love, and advocacy every dog deserves.
Spenser is the most amazing, trusted, and caring dog sitter I've had the pleasure of working with. She herself has a Shepard/Husky mix and it's clear from the moment you meet her you know that she's a genuine lover of animals. She has dog sat for my Pit/Lab mix for overnight visits and daytime walks. She sends lots of pictures, gives my dog the same love I would, and even helps with commands and training! She works with rescue animals in her spare time, so she's equipped to handle dogs of all sizes, training levels, and breeds. Thank you Spenser for being the best dog sitter!

Although I may not be able to take care of your dog in my home (my dog tends to be a bit territorial in our small space), I'm happy to watch your dog in your home-- I allow your dog space to be comfortable, but will also be consistently watching to make sure they are safe and sound. Happy to follow any instructions or rules set out for me by owners.
Information Spenser F. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs, requirements or health concerns. I'm happy to help where I can! Please also let me know your dog's level of friendliness or needs when it comes to other dogs/people (that we may encounter on a walk).
A typical day
I love to help to keep dogs entertained, whether it be helping them collect data (sniff and explore during a walk), or play-- I regularly do a 4 mile walk with my dog, so I'm happy to provide long walks as well. I'm also happy to run through any training items that you may be working on at the time! If your dog isn't into too much activity, I'm happy to couch potato with them too... pup company is the best company.
