Ratings and reviews
William is one of the kindest & most loving people you could find to care for your pet. He cared for Roxy as if she were his own, and we couldn't have asked for a better caregiver to look after her while we were away on vacation ❤️
William is always so wonderful! My dog is always so excited to see him and he genuinely loves her!
William is a very nice, caring, friendly man. He watched my 11 week old bullmastiff pup and I couldn't have asked for a better person to watch him for the day. William provided photos of him playing in the yard with the other dogs and socializing with the neighbors. He is an all around good guy and I would definitely recommend and use him again in the future.
William provided exceptional care for our dog during her weeklong stay. He monitored her eating closely, adjusted her meals when needed, and kept us updated with detailed messages. He shared photos of her having fun and socializing with other dogs, and she integrated beautifully into his home. He also shared little stories, like how she became obsessed with one of Whiskey’s squeaky toys and carried it in and out of the house. It was clear she felt safe, happy, and completely at home. One thing that really stood out was how much William genuinely loves our dog. It wasn’t just care — he connected with her, paid attention to her personality, and treated her like she was part of his family. That kind of care is rare and meant the world to us. His flexibility with pickup after our overnight flight was greatly appreciated. We felt completely confident leaving her in his care and will absolutely rebook with him!
This was our Zeno’s first time staying anywhere without us. At first, Zeno was a little nervous but adjusted fine after a while. You can tell William is good with dogs. He was patient, kind and reassured us that Zeno would be in good hands. William sent photos of Zeno hanging out in the back yard and updated me on the stay. I’d definitely book with William again.
It was so nice leaving my dogs in William's care as he clearly loves dogs and enjoys taking care of them. They were well-cared for and William communicated well as to any questions or concerns and clarified any points about how I would like for them to be cared for. I will definitely be hiring William again in the future.

A typical day
Your dog will have lots of toys to play with and lots of games in my backyard…he’ll get as much attention as I give my own dog, Whiskey…. I prefer the dogs to sleep with me on my enormous California King bed and will coax them up unless you tell me not to set that precedent…you will receive daily updates about your dog’s time spent in my care…how he’s eating…how he’s sleeping…how he’s getting along with any other dogs who might be here…photos often included.
