Your Dog’s Second Best Friend
Pet care experience
What truly sets me apart is the level of personalized care and experience I bring to every walk and visit. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages and temperaments—from energetic puppies needing consistent training and socialization, to senior dogs requiring gentle handling and special care routines.
Reviews
Finding a great pet caregiver and walker can be a real game-changer, and we were lucky to find someone who totally gets it. William has been amazing with our dog, turning every day walks into fun adventures. From the start, it was clear that he loves animals, and it shows in every single interaction. Our dog, who’s usually pretty shy around new people, warmed up to him in no time. He has a talent for building trust and making our pet feel comfortable. He spends quality time walking, playing, and making sure our dog’s needs are taken care of. We highly recommend William to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet with the utmost care, respect, and love. He’s been fantastic. Trusting him with our pet was one of the best decisions we’ve made, and we’re sure others will feel the same.

Safety, trust & environment
Whether I’m welcoming a pet into my home or caring for them in yours, my priority is always safety, comfort, and consistency. In My Home: I offer a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to play, relax, and feel at ease. I maintain your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible—meals, walks, playtime, and rest—so they feel at home, even when they’re not. I never overbook, so your pet gets plenty of one-on-one attention. I also provide regular updates with photos and notes, so you can stay connected while you're away. In Your Home: When caring for pets in their own environment, I aim to be a seamless part of their daily routine. I follow your instructions carefully—everything from feeding schedules and medication to favorite toys and walking routes. I treat your home with the utmost respect and keep things clean, secure, and just as you left them. Your pet gets the comfort of familiar surroundings, and you get peace of mind knowing they’re in reliable hands. No matter the setting, your pet receives patient, compassionate care—because they’re family.
Information William F. would like to know about your pet
To provide the best possible care, I like to know everything that helps your pet feel safe, happy, and understood. Some of the most helpful details include: Daily Routine – Mealtimes, walk schedules, sleep habits, and any little rituals that bring them comfort. Personality & Preferences – Are they shy or social? Do they love fetch or prefer a quiet cuddle? What are their favorite toys? Health & Medications – Any medical conditions, allergies, or medications they need, plus how they prefer to take them. Behavioral Notes – Any triggers (like loud noises or other dogs), leash habits, or training cues they respond to. Interactions – How they do with other pets, children, strangers, or unfamiliar environments. Emergency Info – Vet contact, emergency instructions, and anything else you’d want me to know—just in case. The more I know, the more smoothly everything goes—and the more your pet can feel relaxed and cared for while you're away.
A typical day
Every pet is different, so I tailor playtime and activities to match their personality, energy level, and favorite things to do! For energetic pups, we’ll go on long walks, play fetch, or explore new sniff spots to keep their minds and bodies active. For the more laid-back pets, I love a good backyard sunbathing session, gentle brushing, or cozy cuddle time with a favorite toy. I also mix in little enrichment games like treat puzzles, basic training refreshers, or even a DIY scavenger hunt to keep things interesting. And of course—belly rubs and ear scratches are always on the schedule! No matter the activity, my goal is to keep pets happy, engaged, and feeling loved while you're away.

Availability
Pet care is a meaningful part of my weekly routine, especially on evenings and weekends when I’m fully available to give pets my undivided attention. While I have a weekday job, I’ve made space in my schedule to care for pets because it’s something I truly enjoy and take seriously. I typically offer walks, drop-ins, and overnight care during the weekends and some weekday evenings. I plan ahead to make sure every visit is calm, timely, and stress-free—for both the pet and the owner. Whether it’s keeping up with a puppy’s energy or making sure a senior pet gets their meds and cuddles, I stay consistent and communicative throughout. Even as a part-time sitter, I treat this role with the same professionalism and love as a full-time caregiver—because your pet deserves nothing less.
