Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Long review but I promise it’s worth the read. Iv had my dogs for over 15 years and I frequently drove 150 miles one way for boarding because once I find someone I trust with my dogs I don’t want to make changes. Unfortunately that dog sitter moved to South Carolina and I did drive there once for a longer stay but it just wasn’t feasible in the long run. So when I moved to Jupiter 18 months ago I found Bill and we aren’t letting go of him either. Bill is an exceptional dog walker who goes far beyond what anyone could reasonably expect. He truly sees each dog’s personality, reads them, and meets them exactly where they are. My Lily is notoriously human-selective, and Bill earned her trust with patience, intuition, and genuine respect for her boundaries. He is reliable, punctual, and deeply attentive to my dogs’ individual needs, and he even brings his own well-researched, healthy treats. When he noticed my gate needed fixing, he didn’t just point it out — he fixed it. When my dog Emma was battling cancer and struggling with the threshold, Bill helped me make my house more accessible so she could move comfortably. His care extends far beyond walks; he asked to be there when I had to put Emma to sleep so he could hold my second dog and allow me to focus fully on Emma. That level of compassion is rare and unforgettable. Bill also volunteers with dog rescues and has rescued several dogs himself, which shows in everything he does. He is available not just for regular scheduled walks, but in emergencies or when I manage to plan something joyful for myself, and I trust him completely
William is simply amazing! You can tell he just simply cares about your canine family and our Zoey took right to him. Truly a dog whisperer and a kind gentleman as well

I have known Bill for 6 yrs. He is an outstanding dog handler, trainer, and animal activist. I worked with him at a shelter where I was a volunteer and he has helped me personally with minor training issues for my own 2 dogs. Despite my dogs being "shy" they are all over him and adore him when he visits. 2 years ago Bill fostered an "end of life" (kidney failure) pit bull ("Precious") that was a kennel favorite. Bill took her home and within 48 hrs. she "turned around", quickly adapting to his loving, caring home. She lived her final 10 months surrounded by love and affection. I highly recommend Bill's services - be it pet sitting, training, or anything else pet related. He is a very special pet person.
I have known Bill for several years since we met as canine handlers working with shelter dogs in our area. I feel extremely confident in recommending him, since I have personally witnessed his skill and compassion for dogs of all types. Apart from being a certified dog trainer, he has a proven track record of successfully socializing and training some of the most challenging shelter dogs which subsequently led to successful adoptions into loving families. Bill has a gentle demeanor and has been nick named the "dog whisperer" for his uncanny abilities. He genuinely loves dogs. He has fostered many dogs in his own home, some who were end of life hospice fosters, and treated them with the love and respect all dogs so richly deserve. Dogs just seem to navigate straight towards him...and, we all know what that means. They know a dog person when they meet one. Bill is the ultimate dog person. He treats dogs like members of his own family and only works with positive reinforcement. He is reliable and goes the extra mile for any dog. He simply is the best.
Calendar and availability
Schedule
Although I spend time several days every week providing training and enrichment to the current residents at a local shelter, my schedule is very flexible.

Safety, trust & environment
I utilize Fear Free/Positive Reinforcement principles of canine training and care. Scientific evidence acknowledges that these are by far the best and therefore the only methods I use.
Pets
A typical day
Dogs require both physical and mental stimulation to maintain optimum health. In a session with me I will combine both of these plus work on any specific training or behavioral issue you identify.
