Pet care experience

Dependable and conscientious

I've lived with and cared for my own and others' cats/dogs for more than a decade. I've also house sat for both cats and dogs for friends and family, from quick drop-ins to multi-week stays. I'm the guy who speaks directly to dogs and cats he passes on the street, even when I don't know their owners :) I strive to really get to know the animals I work with and always like to spend the few minutes of each visit simply sitting with and observing an animal to understand how it's feeling on any given day before going through its routine. I love building relationships with shy animals and seeing their personality blossom over time as they get to know me. Happy to send photos / videos or whatever else you need to feel confident that your pet is receiving the same level of care you would give him or her yourself if you were home.

Safety, trust & environment

As someone who has left my own pets in the care of others, I understand that these are your 4-legged children and how important it is to follow the instructions you leave. Every animal is a unique personality with his or her preferences, needs and nuances, and it's all the more important to honor these when their most important humans are away.

I cannot recommend Will highly enough to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring dog walker or pet sitter. Will stayed with us for approximately nine months while transitioning between career paths. He has always been family to me, and during his time with us, he helped care for our precious pup, Gracie, with extraordinary thoughtfulness, patience, and affection. Our trust in Will is second to none. He is responsible, levelheaded, caring, and makes excellent decisions. I would trust him with my life, and I don't say that lightly. He also looked after our home and helped manage our Airbnb business, demonstrating the same reliability and care in every responsibility we entrusted to him. When we returned home, Gracie seemed almost unaware that we had been away. She was happy, settled, and comfortable—a true testament to the love and attention Will gave her. Our dogs are family, and Will understands that wholeheartedly. He will care for your dog as if it were his own, giving you the peace of mind every pet owner deserves. Trust like this is rare. I recommend Will without hesitation and would entrust Gracie to his care anytime. Gracie was in wonderful hands with Will, and yours will be too!
