Pet care experience

Fenced yard, dog trainer, dog lover

I’m an experienced dog trainer, have trained therapy dogs for a number of people I have trained therapy dogs for approximately the past6 years. I personally have a therapy dog whom I trained.I took her through training to be a certified disaster relief dog. We have been to numerous disaster sites across the Midwest U.S. Have gone to tornado sites and workshop for Salvation Army to discuss the importance of Service dogs on site. Have also taken my dog to a local school and an after school program for handicapped children. Have also taken my dog (who is a certified therapy dog) to homes of elderly people. My schedule is flexible and I’m an avid dog lover. I will provide daily walks and lots of caring love.

William and Kathy have taken care of our dog, Shwanu, several times over the past few years, and every experience has been outstanding. They are a wonderful couple who truly care about the dogs they look after. Shwanu is always excited to see them, which gives us great peace of mind whenever we’re away. They regularly send us photos and updates, so we always know she’s happy, comfortable, and well cared for. William is also an experienced dog trainer, and his calm, disciplined approach really shows. He has given us several helpful training tips that have made a positive difference with Shwanu and have made us feel more confident and empowered as dog owners. We trust William and Kathy completely and highly recommend them to anyone looking for loving, reliable, and knowledgeable pet care. We feel very fortunate to have found them.

LOVED Bill and Kathy and their care for my dog Parker. He was with them for 12 days (long time for me!), and I felt so confident he was well taken care of and loved on with affection. They sent photos and kept in touch. Very nice, genuine pet-loving people. I will use them again for sure.

Kathy and William are excellent dog sitters! They took wonderful care of our dog and kept us updated throughout the stay. Our dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved. We highly recommend them and will definitely book again! 🐾

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we met, it was clear how caring, responsible, and genuinely loving they are with animals. Our baby suffered some GI issues and we were so thankful for all the care she received. We especially appreciated the updates and photos. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and compassionate to care for their pet.

William and Kathy are amazing! We’ve had such a great experience with them. They’ve watched Marlin multiple times now, and every single time has been smooth and stress-free. The best part is how excited Marlin gets when he realizes where he’s going—he truly enjoys being at their home, which says everything. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing he’s not just being cared for, but genuinely loved and comfortable. We always get updates, and it’s clear he’s treated like part of the family. Reliable, kind, and clearly great with dogs—we couldn’t ask for a better person to watch Marlin. Highly recommend!
