Pet care experience

Genuine passion for gentle pet care

I have extensive experience caring for dogs along with a genuine passion. I believe dogs can be a life changing companion that benefit greatly from social and physical enrichment. I have a universalistic philosophy, I believe everything is inherently the same/equal at its core. Taking the perspective of a dog leads me to believe pets can be under appreciated or even neglected due to the busyness of life. Dogs are also very therapeutic for me; this combination of factors lead me to have a genuine and enthusiastic approach for canine care. My mother purchased dogs for emotional support, although she had a hard time supporting them in return. After noticing this, I decided to take care of them personally. I took care of all five of her dogs as well as my friend’s elderly Labrador. I would make them fresh dog food every week, walk them almost daily, take them to the dog park, groom/bathe them, teach them tricks, and show them love. I believe this inadvertently benefited my mom as well. As the dogs had a greater capacity to provide the grounded emotional support she needed. Providing this care didn’t feel burdensome at all, instead it felt mutually beneficial. With this background, I feel confident in my ability to bring a positive impact to your pets life.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I like to always be around the pet if possible. Petting and playing naturally occur, whilst keeping alarms on my phone so I do not forget any potty breaks or meal times. I also like to give the dog at least a 10 minute walk to use the bathroom so they don’t feel rushed. I have a minimalist phone and would never engage in any form of substances while watching a dog. Therefore, I will have minimal distractions and ample availability to properly care for your canine companion.

Dog Walking • Sep 25, 2026

Highly recommend! I needed a dog walker the same day, and William was very accommodating and easy to work with. He was friendly, communicative, and treated my 125lb German Shepherd with great care. It’s not always easy to find someone reliable on short notice who can handle a big dog. I’ve already booked again!

William is an exceptional dog sitter who consistently goes above and beyond. He treats our family’s dog with the exact same level of dedicated, attentive care that he provides to his own four dogs. He is incredibly respectful, highly dependable, and deeply committed to ensuring every dog in his care is safe, happy, and well-exercised. His genuine affection for animals and his professional standard of care make him an outstanding caretaker

Will loves animals and grew up with Yorkies which he is currently taking care off after he finished college. He makes food for them and daily takes them for walks.

Will Jackson is an amazing 23 year-old man that loves animals. He grew up with four dogs in his household and he’s always been very gentle and caring to them. He walks the dogs every day and always looking for them to explore and meet new friends. Will is very social and will always be kind to other dog walkers.

Thank you

Not currently working, so I would love to take care of dogs when the owners are out at work. This would allow them to receive nourishment in times of inaction.

It is helpful to know the personality of the dog. I can use this to tailor the type of care I provide. Abnormal behaviors or mannerisms can also help me feel more prepared.
