Pet care experience

6+ secluded acres & long walks :)

I grew up taking care of dogs in my neighborhood. I am a true dog lover who has experience we senior dog care and has the energy to keep up with high energy breeds (I love cardio). I currently work from home on 6+ acres on the water on a property surrounded by trees, wildlife and marshes. I live on a secluded road with little to no traffic that is over a mile long (nice long safe walks). Trained and raised dogs from family members as well as my previous dogs. Would love nothing more than to keep some dogs company have them enjoy the space n wildlife with me while you are on vacation. They will be able to enjoy their own little vacation here as well :)

Highly recommend! They were incredibly trustworthy, friendly, and paid close attention to all of our details and instructions. They were also very flexible with our schedule, which we deeply appreciated. Their house and yard setup are very good and perfect for dogs to hang out safely. We would absolutely rebook in the future!

We had such a wonderful experience! He was incredibly flexible and accommodating, which made everything so much easier for us. He sent us lots of photos and updates throughout our dogs’ stay, which gave us such peace of mind knowing they were happy and well cared for. We were driving all the way back from Texas, and unfortunately our pickup time kept getting pushed back due to the long drive. He was so understanding and patient and even stayed up past 9:30 PM so we could pick up our dogs. We truly appreciated him going above and beyond for us! Our dogs were well taken care of, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and accommodating to watch their pups. We will definitely be booking with him again!

I had a great experience with William! He was super flexible and responsive, sent me lots of pictures and updates, and took our girl on plenty of long walks. I felt very comfortable knowing she was well taken care of while I was away. I would definitely book with him again!

Will and his wife were amazing with Nala. She went on her own vacation while staying with them.

We couldn't be more pleased. William clearly enjoyed taking care of our Dakota. He kept us up to date with regular photos and feedback. We highly recommend William and will book with him again in the future.

Will was so great to our gal! He has a great property that is great for dogs who like to run around and kept us updated the whole time with pictures, what they did, and how our dog was doing. He was also very responsive and considerate of our dog’s needs. This was our first time using Rover and we were so impressed with how smooth the process was and how well they took care of our dog. Would highly highly recommend.

Safety, trust & environment

I used to have an English setter she was the sweetest dog in the world and lived a long happy life. I miss having a dog. You can rest assured that I treat every animal with the utmost love, attention and care as I would if they were my own. I am a very good read of body language and only give them what I believe the dog needs. Well versed in dog breeds as well and know that each breed has different needs. Depending on your dog's training and ability to recall they will be able to enjoy the entire 6 acre property for games of fetch, tug of way and keep away. The property is not fenced in however it is encompassed by trees and in a fairly secluded area. Based on what you provide me in understanding of their training, what breed and my comfortability with your pet they will be able to enjoy the area unleashed. I take pet care and security extremely seriously and hold myself accountable for anything that could potentially happen to your pet while ur away. In short I'm not willing to risk it if they go hunting mode on a deer.

A typical day

Usually go for a walk or jog in the morning before I start my day. Usually also take a walk in the afternoon as well as after work (I work from home and find it really important to stay active). They can definitely expect some fetch, tug of war, keep away and nice long sessions of scratches and relaxation in between
