Pet care experience
I bring a wealth of experience and expertise to my role as a dog sitter and walker. With 10 years of personal dog ownership, I have developed a deep understanding of canine behavior, needs, and care. In addition to my personal experience, I am a graduate student with a love for dogs that extends beyond my own furry companions. Drawing on my military experience working alongside K-9 units, I have honed my training and handling skills, ensuring the safety and well-being of every dog under my care. Having been active on Rover for several months, engaging in weekly dog sitting and walking services, I have built a reputation for providing reliable, attentive, and personalized care to each dog I encounter. I take pride in creating a warm and welcoming environment for dogs, tailoring my approach to meet their individual needs and preferences. Your pet will be in capable hands with me, receiving the highest standard of care and attention while you are away! Due to high local demand and necessary travel, I charge $25 for initial consultations with new clients (in-person)
Reviews
Murphy had another great weekend with William! Highly recommend for high energy dogs who need a lot of exercise.
William really helped me out when I had to head out of town for the week. I had someone to watch Roxi but need daily walks. William took Roxi, who is a strong girl, on vigorous walks. Just what Roxi needed!
William is incredibly responsive and responsible! Our high energy dog absolutely loves taking walks/runs with him and is so excited to see whenever William walks through the door. William has also been very flexible with our changing schedule and always provides us detailed updates. Will definitely be working with William in the future and would 100% recommend William for any of your Rover needs!
William was great! Super punctual and Captain came back happy and tired, which is very tough to do since he's always full of energy. He also quickly accommodated two late-scheduled walks when I was sick and needed backup. Definitely recommend him!

I am unable to offer pet care at my apartment due to size restrictions and building policy. During my weekly stay-overs at client homes, I remain engaged and attentive with your dogs at all times.
Information William K. would like to know about your pet
When caring for your dog during my house sitting services, I make it a priority to understand and cater to their specific needs. I will communicate with you to learn about your dog's routines, preferences, medical requirements, behavior quirks, and any other special considerations they may have. By being attentive and observant, I can adapt my care approach to suit your dog's individual needs effectively.
A typical day
During periods of dog sitting, I provide personalized care and comfort by maintaining their routine, offering plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, ensuring their safety and well-being, and creating a warm and inviting environment while you are away. I prioritize the dog's happiness and comfort to make their time away from their owners as stress-free and enjoyable as possible.
