Pet care experience

Brooklyn Heights dog-lover!

I've been taking care of dogs for as long as I can remember. We always had at least 2 dogs in the house growing up, and my childhood dachshund Lily (15 years old!) is still my rock. Not to brag but I taught all of my dogs how to sit and shake. I work fully from home, and my girlfriend is a nurse practitioner who works from home part time. We have lots of time to care for and love on your pets!!

My dachshund loves William and Lela! They were very understanding of dachshund concerns like back safety, and took great care of her.

William and Lela were GREAT looking after my Border Terrier for a week. They were very communicative and i think genuinely had fun with him. I felt very happy leaving him with them and hope to be in touch again soon!

If you are looking for someone you can trust implicitly with your pets, Will M. is the person. He has been walking my dogs, Honey and Lily, and his service is top-notch. He is reliable, kind, and provides the safe, loving environment every pet parent hopes for. His customer service is excellent, making the whole process easy and stress-free. A truly great guy!

Will is such a fantastic and loving caretaker for my pups! I am so thankful for his tentative and affectionate care when it comes to my dogs - one who’s older and requires a lot of daily medication and care and the other who’s a puppy with lots of energy. My dogs love him and get so excited when I announce “Will is coming to see you!” If you’re looking for a responsible, communicative and caring sitter for your dogs, Will is it!

I work from home full time. My girlfriend works from home three days out of the week. We are homebodies, so we have lots of time to give to the kind people of Rover.

Safety, trust & environment

We live in an apartment and we have no pets. We will take dogs out for walks at least every couple of hours, and if it seems like they need more time outside we can do that. We're cool with dogs on the couch. They just won't be allowed in our bedroom.

A typical day

Your dog will get lots of long walks on the promenade and at the piers. This is what drew us to the neighborhood and our favorite part of the day.

Please let us know any allergies and medical conditions ahead of time. If your dog is a big barker we need to know this ahead of time as we want to be respectful of our neighbors in the building. Also let us know ahead of time if we should keep our distance from other dogs when walking your dog outside.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
