Pet care experience
I am an experienced lover of all dogs, who has cared for a variety of breeds from Rat Terriers to Blue Healers to Pit Bulls to Great Danes! Whenever I am taking care of someone elses dog, I always try to maintain routines and treat the dog as the owner would. If I am ever unsure about a situation I always ask for input from owner as this is their dog and not mine. I started dog sitting a Golden Retriever when I was 12. I had Great Danes growing up. My 14 year old Mastiff/ Pit Honey Bear passed last year so I quit my 60 hr a week job in fall 2017 (where Honey Bear slept under my desk) and I have been having fun traveling and taking care of friends and family dogs and homes since. I recently have dog sat for a Flat Coat/Golden Retriever, Black Lab, two blue nose Pit Bulls, and a Blue Heeler mix. I currently dog/ house sit a Flatcoat mutt, Watson, for my friend in Tahoe City until August. Watson is the best behaved dog I have ever cared for and has been trained off leash in urban Boston since a puppy. He is very calm, especially for breed, gentle, super friendly and more than happy to have other friendly dogs around! I love going hiking in Tahoe National Forest that is right out my door here at the end of a quiet dead end street. I often take Watson into town for walks and to the lake for swims but he loves chasing squirrels in the woods best! I typically walk 4-10 miles a day with Watson and would love company! We are also happy to come to you!

Will is super caring and in an excellent location for dogs! I would highly recommend Will to care for you dog. It is a great place for large dogs!
My dog (14y.o.) took a visit to Will’s home and I am very happy we had chosen him to take care of Spotty. This is a well mannered pet sitter and the Watson the other dog at home is also very friendly and smart. God Bless ! Hope next time I go to Truckee he can be available too.. Sincerely J. Young
Will has been taking care of my retrievers since 2008. He is extremely responsible, reliable and knowledgeable about dogs. Will has a keen awareness of animal behavior: handling dogs with a firm and gentle hand, giving them the boundaries, security and affection they thrive on. He is one of the smartest and most resourceful people I know. In stressful situations or when he encounters unexpected challenges, Will remains calm, thinks on his feet, trouble shoots the problem and quickly finds solutions. Will adores dogs! When his dog, Honey Bear, was in her golden years and ailing, Will went to the ends of the earth to ensure that she had the best possible care and was as comfortable as she could be. Will was completely devoted to Honey Bear. My dog, Kiera, is an energetic three year old Flat Coat/Golden mix. Will is always eager to take her on long hikes, and she gets the exercise that she needs. Kiera loves Will! I implicitly trust Will to take care of my precious, Kiera, anytime. Besides all that, Will is a really nice guy!
There is no other person I would feel more comfortable watching my dogs than Will. I call him a dog whisper of his own. I can't speak highly enough about Will or how much all three of my dogs love him. Their is no doubt in my mind that my dogs hold a special place in their hearts for Will. He is responsible, clean, and loves dogs with all his heart.
