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.

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!

William and Kathy were so amazing with our two girls!! Fast reply’s, and knew what questions to ask if needed about our pups. Also gave me some tips on training. They even sent many pictures of the babies having fun. Thank you! Will book again!

Adler was well taken care of. He is an older dog (19 years old) and I felt very comfortable leaving him with William & Kathy. Willing to accommodate his needs for a ramp to manage stairs. They were sweet with him and gave him lots of carrots! Will definitely use them again and recommend them for your pets stay.

William and Kathy took great care of our dog. We were gone for four days and they sent us pictures and video of Very (dog name) running around, playing , sleeping in his bed and having fun. We would definitely use them again. Thank you, William and Kathy
