Highlights
Pet care experience
15 Years of Trusted Dog Care
What sets me apart from other sitters and walkers is my lifelong commitment to providing dogs with patient, loving, and reliable care. As a teenager I work for a dog breeder, walking and taking care of his dogs. I spent 14½ wonderful years raising, training, and caring for my Australian Shepherd. Through the Staten Island Training Club, I learned positive training techniques that helped me build a strong bond with him and taught me how to understand canine behavior. I know that every dog has a unique personality, energy level, and routine. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, mental stimulation, or simply companionship, I tailor my care to their individual needs. My experience also allows me to recognize changes in a dog's behavior and respond calmly and appropriately. In addition to caring for my own dog, I volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I've worked with dogs of different breeds, ages, and temperaments. This has strengthened my ability to make dogs feel comfortable, earn their trust, and provide safe, compassionate care. When your dog is with me, they'll be treated like family—with patience, respect, and plenty of attention.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I have known William for approximately 25 years. In that time I have had the opportunity to observe him interact with several dogs, both his own and mine, as well as those of other friends and families. In our circle, he is as the “dog whisperer”. His gentle consistent approach has had a consistently positive impact on all dogs he interacts with. It is without hesitation that I recommend him.
William is hands down the best dog sitter I’ve ever used. From the moment he met my dog, it was obvious how much he genuinely loves and cares for dogs. He treated my pup like family, making sure they got plenty of walks, attention, and exercise every day. What really sets William apart is the bond he builds with the dogs he cares for. He doesn’t just watch them, he spends quality time with them, making them feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. I had complete peace of mind knowing my dog was in such caring and capable hands. I can’t recommend William highly enough. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, compassionate, and truly passionate about dogs, William is the person to call.

Schedule
Pet care is a regular part of my weekly routine. I'm available for afternoon and evening dog walks. I also offer boarding for short stays of two to three nights, making it a great option if you're away for a long weekend. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure every pet receives the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Whether it's an energetic walk, playtime, or simply keeping your dog company, I'll care for your pet as if they were my own.
