Pet care experience
Farm Trained, City Savvy!
Hi, I’m William! I’m an active, reliable, and attentive pet caretaker living in NYC. I’ve spent years working closely with animals of all shapes and sizes: from energetic city dogs and cozy apartment cats to livestock on a sustainable organic farm. Working on a farm and pet sitting over the past 15 years has taught me deep patience, animal body language, and how to stay calm and confident around large, small, and high-energy animals. Whether I'm walking a 90-lb mastiff or sitting a sensitive rescue cat, I approach every pet with the same level of safety, respect, and specialized attention. What you can expect when booking with me: Clear Communication: Regular photo updates, timely texts, and complete peace of mind while you’re away. Safety First: Comfortable handling leash reactivity, large breeds, and sticking to your exact care and feeding routines. Active & Attentive: Plenty of exercise for high-energy pups, and gentle, low-stress companionship for more timid cats and dogs. I offer flexible scheduling and look forward to meeting you and your furry family member!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Safety and trust are my highest priorities when caring for pets in a client’s home. Having worked on a sustainable farm, I am hyper-vigilant about double-checking doors, gates, and leashes. I strictly adhere to your home’s boundaries, keep feeding areas clean, follow all safety protocols, and maintain open communication with frequent photo updates so you always have complete peace of mind.
Ratings and reviews
Will is the absolute best!! He accepted a very last minute 12 day (in home) dog sitting request, saving our trip. Upon arriving at our home to meet our dog, he had a list of questions ready for us as to how to care for our dog, home and plants while we were gone. He checked in with photos regularly and took phenomenal care of our boy. Our dog clearly had had the time of his life when we came home. Will left our house in pristine condition and even washed and folded our sheets for us, knowing we wouldn't be home until very late. I can't recommend Will's services enough and personally look forward to working with him in the future.
William is hands-down the best pet sitter we’ve ever had! He has taken care of our two dogs and our cat on multiple occasions, both for quick daily walks/drop-ins and long overnight stays, and we couldn't ask for a more reliable, caring person. Our dogs can be a handful on walks, but William handles them with complete confidence and ease. Our cat, who is usually pretty shy around new people, warmed up to him almost immediately! We loved getting his detailed updates and photos while we were away, it gave us total peace of mind knowing our pets were happy, exercised, and following their normal routines. He is incredibly respectful of our home, super communicative, and genuinely loves animals. We recommend him to anyone looking for a top-tier pet sitter!
William is a compassionate and kind animal caregiver any pet parent should feel comfortable trusting their fur baby with. He is strong and athletic enough to keep up with any dog, especially those who like to run. Will is somebody I trust completely and I am confident that we would be an excellent Rover.
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I maintain a flexible, part-time schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the week and weekend. Whether providing early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening sitting, I structure my days around giving pets consistent, focused attention. My routine allows me to adapt to your pet's exact feeding, exercise, and medication timelines without feeling rushed.
