Safety, trust & environment

It's important for a pet owner to feel comfortable and confident in the person trusted with their pets safety and well being. As such, especially when in someone else's home, the best practice is to listen! Owners know their pet better than anyone, so it's important not to assume that we as caregivers always know what's best. Within our home, we have a large yard with diverse terrain and are off a series on low-traffic streets. Animals that get along will generally have run of the interior and when applicable to owner preferences, access to exterior. For those who have animals with a pre-disposition towards escape, we also offer a complimentary air tag tracker. This way you can rest assured your pet can be located in the case of an emergency.

Information William A. would like to know about your pet

It's always good to understand a pet ahead of time. Any information an owner can provide is always a welcomed addition to the knowledge bank!

It stays pretty chill around here. Lots of down time for your critters(s) to unwind. Grateful for a low stress household with plenty of room to relax!

Pet care experience

Well-cared for pets can truly make for a person's best friend. As a former pet store manager, lifelong pet owner, and person who cares, I've had the opportunity to work with critters of all backgrounds and ages. Lots of experience with senior animals across a range of challenges.

Will and his wife were wonderful hosts to my cat, who was diagnosed with some medical issues and needed special attention. They kindly accommodated my requests and instructions, and gave her medications on time. They were incredibly kind, attentive and clearly very loving to her during her stay! The photos and videos Will sent clearly showed how relaxed my cat was during her stay (which is not usually the case when boarded) and that they made her feel at home. Communication was also excellent, with constant updates throughout her stay. Will definitely re-book with them!!

My dogs love Will! He's always so good with our fur babies and often comes with interesting tidbits of wisdom and experience I find really unique. He does great by us and will do the same for you!

10 out of 10 would highly recommend! Will and his wife Mandy are both patient, well informed, educated, and chill people. Our pets love them and so do we!

Will is great! We've traded pet sitting favors for more than a decade. There's no one else I'd rather have looking after our pets. He treats our pets like they are his own!
