Flexible Schedule / Love to Walk!

Pet care experience

Hi I'm Bill! I'm a professional that works in the city but I regularly work from home. I'm available most nights and weekends. I live in a good sized apartment, we're on the ground floor with a very large fenced in patio. This is a very pet friendly community. There is a fenced in dog park just down the sidewalk and a larger park down the street. I've cared for dogs my entire life. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and everything in between! One of my dogs required a lot of special care in terms of diet and managing medications. I have experience with ear drops, eye drops, doggy dental care. My schedule is fairly flexible, I'm available for dog walks, drop in visits, and boarding either your place or ours. I'm updating my profile to include that our family just got a new puppy. She is currently 1 year old and weighs approximately 45 pounds. Her name is Willow and she is full of energy and curious about everything. She loves other dogs and people, especially children. She's playful and inquisitive but naps frequently.

Phoebe had so much fun with Bill, Willow, and the rest of the fam. Will definitely be using Bill for when I go on my next trip out of town.

Six star review!!! Bill went above and beyond to make sure our pup was safe, happy, and well cared for, and was extremely gracious in accommodating our flight delay. He's obviously super comfortable around larger dogs, which is great to find. And our dog enjoyed her extended play date with Willow. I would not hesitate to book with Bill and his family again...but with such awesome reviews, he may book up fast!

Information Bill H. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know how active your dog is and if he/she is friendly with other dogs and strangers. Do they have any allergies, or anxieties? What can I do to make them comfortable? How can I be the best sitter for them? Do they have any health issues? Do they have any triggers on walks? The more I know the better I can care for them.

A typical day

It depends on the temperament of the dog but I generally try to do 15 to 30 minute walks at least a couple times a day. Some dogs enjoy spending time running off leash in the dog park located down the street, other dogs may prefer to relax and spend times indoors.
