Pet care experience
Since adopting my dog Luna almost 6 years ago, I have discovered that I have both a passion and a knack for dog care. In 2022, I decided to make it my full time gig! Luna was very skittish and distrusting when I first got her, but with a steady diet of exercise, training, structure and affection, she's turned into a well-adjusted pup. I've done countless hours of group and 1-on-1 training with Luna so I have a solid handle on dog behavior and body language. I will keep your dog safe, stimulated, and well-cared for, as if they were my own. Your dog will spend their day alongside me and Luna, and our other 4-legged guests. I'm a firm believer that a tired dog is a happy dog so I bookend each day with lots of stimulation and exercise. I take them to hike in Franklin Park at least once a day, in addition to several additional potty breaks.
Reviews
My pup stayed with Will for just over a week and seems to have had a fantastic time. Will was responsible about checking that my pup's personality would work in his house before we booked. I appreciate that Will has a strong daily routine with plenty of both exercise and down time for the dogs. My pup is friendly and enjoys other dogs, so the fact that Will cares for more than one dog at a time was fun for him. Next time I travel I will certainly rebook at what I have started calling Camp Will!
Nox has loved going to visit Will, and always comes home happy and tired. Thank you!
Will was amazing, very responsive and attentive with our dog! As we all know, dogs are another member of our family, and we want to find somebody we trust to take care of our fur children. Will was exactly that person and I cannot recommend him enough!
Will was great! Great communicator, easy to work with. My dog came home happy and tired from playing. Winnie will definitely be staying with him again:)
About Will M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a large living room area with an attached deck where the dogs and I spend most of our time when we’re indoors. My condo is dog proof, but please let me know if your dog is especially talented at getting into things.
Home
Information Will M. would like to know about your pet
I want to know as much as you are able to tell me! How does your dog like to play? Are they leash reactive? Any allergies? Are they into fetch and/or tug of war? Are there any behaviors you are trying to address or encourage? I am happy to reinforce any training/behavior that you are practicing at home. Also, if your dog has any behavioral quirks (i.e. gets possessive over toys, but only if they're squeaky), please let me know. If I notice anything that seems out of the ordinary, I may reach out with questions.
A typical day
I live within walking distance of Franklin Park, Jamaica Pond, the Arboretum and Southwest Corridor, so depending on the weather and how your dog walks on-leash, we have lots of options. I like to mix up structured walks and off-leash play (only in enclosed areas, of course).
