Pet care experience

As a cycling homebody (or is it a homebody who loves to cycle), I’m kind of the best of two worlds in terms of traits belonging to a great dog caretaker. My favorite form of exercise allows me to take your dog almost anywhere and we can explore the outdoors together. I love cycling on various types of bike trails, but I also love to walk. I have many fond memories of going on long hikes with my father, so there’s something zen and nostalgic about the whole activity for me, and being with dogs just makes the walk that much more fun and pleasurable. Nothing gets me smiling more than spending time with our four-legged friends or out biking around, taking in the sights and smells of nature. Otherwise, I’m pretty much a homebody. I work from home and my wife and I enjoy staying in and hanging with our dog named Emoji. He’s basically our son (we only have fur babies around), so I know the anxiety of leaving your beloved family member with complete strangers. Emoji is genuinely one of the friendliest and sweetest dogs––he’s always eager for new playmates––so we would relish the opportunity to have your pup become our new family member, even if for short spell. My wife used to work at NJ shelters when she was in high school and has always had dogs in her life. I’ve always been interested in fostering rescue dogs, so this seems like the first step for a possible full-time career working with dogs. Although I don’t have professional experience, my wife and I are full of love and compassion, and I’ve cared for countless family and friends’ animals since I was a small kid. I love filling our home with as many furry friends as possible, and being a dog dad, I really understand the importance of trust and faith––I hope to provide you with the same sense of confidence that your pup is in very good and capable hands. Your dog’s happiness, health, and safety are of highest concern to me. Since I will be home all the time, your dog will never be left alone. My wife, Emoji, and I can’t wait to meet you.

Will is intuitive and adaptable in his method of caring for people and pets alike. Seeing him with his own pets which have an expansive range in their personalities, energy levels and moods makes me confident in his ability to take care of other people's dogs with balanced tenderness and steadiness. Having Will as your dog sitter will be a treat everyone will look forward to!

Will is married to one of my very best friends, and one of the nicest people I know! He's the perfect dog-dad for Emoji (their beautiful sweet rescue pitbull), who is now devoted to following him around everywhere. Will is awesome, and I have no doubt that he will be a responsible and loving dog-sitter for anyone.

Information William L. would like to know about your pet

Information is key, so I will want to know everything there is to know to ensure the safety of your pup. I want to provide a safe and fun place for your dog to stay and thrive. If you’d like to schedule a meet and greet so your dog can meet my wife and Emjoi, we’d happily set that up. We will make sure we follow all instructions on your dog’s diet, health, activity restrictions, triggers, etc. Each dog has their unique personality, so we look forward to getting to know your special pet. I know how much it means to get regular updates when Emoji stay with sitters, so we will provide the same level of service, We will send you regular updates via texts, calls, or uploaded photos. Nothing will be too small for us in terms of giving you some peace of mind.

A typical day

We live in a ranch style house with a backyard. Both lawns (front and back) are considerable in size, however, the backyard is not yet fenced in. However, our house and property are elevated from street level, so our house has some natural barriers. As I mentioned, I love getting outdoors for a bike ride or a nice, meandering walk, so your pup, Emoji, and I will get a lot of exercise and fresh air. I really love Leigh Lake in Chapel Hill Park, which is in walking distance from our house. With plenty of walks and bike rides, your pup will no doubt want to snuggle up on the couch with us for some movies and lots and lots of cuddles.
