Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog and walk lover
I am a full time house husband and US ex-pat who loves hosting dogs for both their companionship and to keep me active. Our beloved 13 year-old dog passed away in 2025 and Rover has allowed me to meet lots of amazing new pups. My wife works full time and I spend most days keeping house and taking walks along the nearby coast. I am rarely out of the house for more than a few hours. I can take dogs for walks or runs as their energy level permits.

Ratings and reviews
Our dog had a fantastic time with William. We weren’t sure that he’d want to come home! William clearly loves dogs very much. He was very in tune with our dogs needs. Our dog has a medical condition and William checked through all the info to make sure that he understood what was needed. Great communication and lots of photos during our dogs stay as well as taking him on amazing beach walks.
Thank you so much for taking care of our Luna, we really appreciated all the updates while we were away for my brothers wedding! Looks like she had a lovely time with lots of walks on the beach 🐾🥰
I'll be using William again when needed. Within moments Jack was at ease and wagging away. One happy dog and owner.
William looked after Tally, for the last two nights in preparation for a longer stay later this year. Since Tally has never boarded before, we were naturally a bit anxious, but William completely put us both at ease. From the start, he really took the time to get to know Tally and asked all the right questions about her routine and preferences. Tally settled in incredibly quickly with him. She absolutely loved her walks and all the snuggles she received. We are so relieved to have found such a caring, attentive sitter and feel completely confident leaving Tally with him for her upcoming longer stay. Thank you, William!
William and his wife Kate were amazing with Jasper. William sent me daily photos and updates, jasper was enjoying his own holiday with lots of lovely adventures, beach walks and cuddles. Jasper was treat as part of their family and I would not hesitate for Jasper to stay with them again. Would throughly recommend William to anyone.
William has been such a great host to my boy Elvis. Elvis has had a great time and returned home very happy and content! I can’t praise William enough for the care and attention he gives and the regular updates and photos. Would recommend him without hesitation 😊😊

Schedule
I am comfortable giving dogs medication and have experience caring for a dog during a terminal illness. My schedule can be adapted to fit the needs of your dog.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Dogs will be welcome in our home and treated as a member of the family. I expect owners to clearly communicate any specific requirements they have on feeding, walks (including how their dog is on a lead), and specific rules you have for your dog in your home.
A typical day
I’m home for most of the day and your dog will get at least one 2-5 mile walk per day. Generally I’m out of the house for 3 hours per day doing errands or volunteer work. Dogs can stay in the house while I’m out or in the fenced garden (weather permitting).
- 0 to 7 kg7 to 18 kgDogs over 1 year oldSpayed and neutered dogs onlyNo females in heatCrate-trained dogs onlyTakes only 1 client at a timeWilliam can host up to 4 pets per night
- I cannot host dogs that are not housebroken as we rent our home. There are many dogs in our neighborhood so it is important for me to know how your pup behaves with other dogs and whether or not it is an escape artist!
