I board/sit/walk pets on Cape Anne!

Pet care experience

Adult male able to walk and sit for your animal. I have always owned dogs and cats. I’ve owned dogs from GSD to Yorky, and in between. I can also sit other animals, if needed. My neighborhood is quiet and is easily dog walkable, with many routes to chose from.

William is an incredibly kind, generous and caring man. His love for animals and gentle good nature emanate from William the moment you meet him. My two dogs were clearly well loved an cared for in the time I was gone. Every day he provided photo and status to updates his love and care was much appreciated! William also returned my home in better condition then it was left to him. Everything was immaculate! He even provided some new treats for my dogs to enjoy! I recommend him very highly and feel blessed to have met William. I will certainly be using William again and would recommend him to all of my closest friends and family!!!

We were skeptical as he has a small apartment. He has a big heart and loves dogs. He lovingly cared for Mario giving him walks and adventures. He took his puppy misbehaviors in stride. Would highly recommend him especially if you have a puppy.

Bill is absolutely outstanding in caring for dogs, we had a great experience with him taking on a huge challenge caring for our three retired racing greyhounds, they all need special attention and care, Bill handled all of their challenging needs perfectly! He communicated throughout the time we were away, he even managed to find new meal combinations that were a big hit with all three of our hounds! When we came back it didn’t seem like we were missed, which is a sign that they were very happy during our absence. Bill is really amazing with dogs and we are grateful to have found him, we will be repeat clients!!

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet decides what level of contact they want from me. I love to pet them and play with them, but, if they prefer privacy and alone time, I let them have it. I give them the interaction they want, not necessarily what I want. My apartment is pet friendly and your pet can go anywhere in it. And, the bed is comfortable, as your pet is more than welcome to find out.

Information William H. B. would like to know about your pet

Any schedule the pet likes/needs to adhere to will be followed. Same goes for any meds, food, and other needs. Please bring transition objects (favorite toys, blanket, bedding, etc) to help alleviate some of your pet’s stress.

A typical day

As mentioned above, there are two wooded trails within walking distance. One is easy, and sort of disappears, so I just roam freely with your pet. The other trail is moderate, with up/down hill sections, and eventually leads to a peak over looking the harbor in town. The neighborhood is safe, with sidewalks leading the way through several different neighborhoods.

I’m available most anytime, even in emergencies or with little to no notice. I will take dogs to their favorite park, if the park is nearby. Two wooded trails within walking distance, as well, for those dogs that are up for adventure and a bit more exercise. During the off season, there are ocean beaches to explore!
