Cat Dad with decades of experience

My Hemingway cat has a heart condition and requires daily medications. I am confident with oral pill popping or liquid administration, or crushing up pills with food. I have great rapport with cats and especially love special needs and senior cats.

Safety, trust & environment

I am big on having positive first interactions which help quickly establish trust. I'm extremely well versed in animal behavior (and etiquette) and have a confident yet calm demeanor which I think pets and their owners immediately sense.

Once again, Thurston (William) did such a great job taking care of my senior cat! He’s so kind and always leaves everything cleaner and neater than when he arrived! My kitty just loves him!! Thurston takes extra time to make sure my boy is comfortable, well fed, and happy. Very very pleased and will continue to use him when I have to leave!

Cannot say enough nice things! He is always so sweet to my old kitty and always pays careful attention to how well he’s eating and how he’s acting! Highly recommend!!

William is one of the most kind and thoughtful people! He went above and beyond to make sure my cats were happy and comfortable! It’s clear how much he loves animals ❤️ He even made sure everything was clean and organized so my return home was smooth and easy. I can’t recommend him enough!

I’m so pleased I found William! He was so kind with my older special needs cat! I didn’t have to worry at all while I was away. He was respectful, friendly, and punctual. I will definitely be using him again!!

We always feel confident our senior dog is in good hands with William (Thurston). He rushed over to get our dog off the floor when it looked like she‘d fallen on our security camera. He let us know she was okay! And our place was immaculate when we returned.

William (Thurston) is a true blessing. We can now travel and know that our precious senior dog is being treated with care and kindness in our absence.

Schedule

As a business owner, I have the flexibility of choosing my own schedule, which my clients (and their pets!) also benefit from. I am typically available for last minute calls, and because I'm an excellent communicator, I'm a great go-to for last minute needs.

Cats
William can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
I really appreciate managing expectations, so I need to know about boundaries with pets. For example, any restrictions, allergies, behavioral challenges, previous negative experiences, etc..
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.
