Highlights
Pet care experience
I’ve been a dog lover my whole life
I grew up with dogs my entire life and since I don’t have any pets of my own right now, I’ve loved caring for other people’s pets over the years. With my girlfriend we have watched dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments over the years. From miniature daschunds to Rottweilers, Dobermans, German Sheperds, and Mastiff mixes, from puppies to seniors, to animals who required medication, I have experience with dogs with many different needs. I work remotely and have a very flexible working schedule so can give your pet all of the attention they may require. Whether you have a high energy puppy who requires lots of walks or a senior who just needs some company, I would love to watch your pet. My goal is to make you and your pet feel at ease as possible while you’re away!

Safety, trust & environment
I rent a spacious house in Highland Park that has a fenced in front yard on a corner plot. I have three room mates, and one very mellow cat. I am less than a 10 minute walk from Arroyo Secco Park and Hermon Park.
Ratings and reviews
William was fantastic caring for our cats! He was easy to coordinate with and it obvious how much he cared for the cats. I am sure they will miss him!
William went above and beyond taking care of Hazel while we were out of the country for a week. He kept us posted with regular updates and followed our instructions to a T. Hazel is a relatively high-maintenance dog and William followed our instructions carefully during his time with her. He took her on neighborhood hikes to keep her active and sent us daily pics to keep us at ease that she was being well taken care of. Responsible and reliable, I highly recommend William for dog sitting / house sitting.
Will is amazing! I couldn't recommend him more. Great at communication. Takes initiative and asks the right questions. Sam, my dog who is a large dog took to him straight away. I received updates and great feedback. Thank you!
William took great care of Juneau overnight. He paid close attention to our instructions regarding her care while keeping us updated while we were gone. I’ll definitely be booking William again!
This year I fostered a 110 lb Great Dane mix named Turbo. As my roommate, William enthusiastically took on this shared responsibility with me. Turbo still had a bunch of puppy energy as he was only a little over 1 years old. William was very patient and loving to Turbo while he helped during training sessions as well as daily walks and meal times. Overall William is a very responsible and trustworthy as an animal caretaker and I would love to have him as a co-foster parent any day!
William is a very nice guy! I left my beagle, Gary, with him for a weekend with no issues. Gary ate all of his food, went on his two walks a day, and seemed happy as a clam when I picked him up. I'll definitely come back to Will if I need a dogsitter in the future.

Schedule
I work for myself doing freelance digital media and I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility in when I can walk and spend time with pets. I also have a mobile work station, and can work wherever.
