“So pleased with how they communicate with me and take care of my pup. Was out of the country for 10 days and was not worried about my dog because I felt very certain she was safe and well watched over. They are VERY flexible, accommodating and AVAILABLE for me and my girl. Glad to have found a sitter who is reliable and who works great with my schedule. House is perfect for sitting, very homey with a LARGE backyard and lots going on”

About: What sets me apart is real, hands-on experience. I’ve raised animals my entire life and have cared for dogs across a wide range of ages, temperaments, and health needs. I’m comfortable with energetic puppies who need patience and structure, as well as senior or sick dogs who require extra attention, gentle handling, and consistency. I pay close attention to instructions, routines, and small details, especially when a dog needs special care. I stay calm, reliable, and observant, which helps dogs feel safe and owners feel confident while they’re away. My goal is simple: show up on time, follow directions closely, and make sure each dog is cared for as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m currently working on my business, which means I’m home most of the day with my own dog and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets consistent attention, timely walks, and dependable drop-in care throughout the day. Because I’m not tied to a strict 9–5 schedule, I can accommodate regular visits, mid-day walks, and last-minute needs when they come up. Caring for animals is already part of my daily life, so adding additional pets into my routine is seamless and never rushed. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on consistency, comfort, and following the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Pets always have access to fresh water, are fed according to instructions, and are given plenty of attention throughout each visit. My home environment is quiet, calm, and cozy, with large open areas where dogs can move around and play comfortably, including indoor space during bad weather. I make sure pets get appropriate exercise, playtime, and rest based on their age, energy level, and health needs. In a client’s home, I respect their space and carefully follow any care instructions provided, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, and specific routines. My priority is always making sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away.

I just relocated to the area and finding a new dog sitter was a pain point and a top priority after leaving an exceptional one behind. Found Emily through a neighborhood group and was instantly comforted by her kind approach, thoughtful questions and obvious love for animals. Just finished my dog's first visit and it was clear Emily earned his trust almost immediately. Regular updates and flexibility added to the experience. We are thrilled to have found a reliable and committed new sitter in Emily.

Anthony was great! Communicarion was good. He agreed to do a meet and greet before we decided. He was affecionate and engaged with Raven as soon as they met. Raven LOVES meeting new people, so this was great for her. She was with him from Thursday morning until Saturday afternoon. He sent pics starting soon after dropoff. He answered our questions about how she was doing quickly. We had recently had a Rover visit aith a different sitter where she either had a bad intestinal bug or a severe anxiety reaction. Nothing like that here. She was thrilled to see me when we got back, but is her normal self, not needing to recuperate! Will look forward to using Anthony again.

It's difficult to leave your dogs for nearly two weeks, and with so many sitters to choose from it can be overwhelming trying to figure out the best person to leave them with. If that describes you, then look no farther. You will be hard pressed to find anyone who will love and care for your dogs more than William. Within minutes at our meet & greet, we knew that we wanted William to be our sitter. And our dogs and his dogs got along fabulously. We will definitely contact William the next time we need a sitter.
