Fellow dog lover ready to pet sit

Pet care experience

I've always loved animals! I grew up living with and taking care of cats and a dog. As a child I volunteered for an animal rescue group on Long Island. I started housesitting dogs in 2019 and have experience staying overnight with dogs for multiple families. When I’m not pet sitting, I enjoy spending time with my wife traveling, trying exciting restaurants and exploring new places.

Thank you William for always being Duke and Daisy’s emergency relief when I get stuck at work. We all appreciate it!

William is really great with the dogs. I loved the video he sent of them running around being happy. He’s a lifesaver for this NYC commuter who gets stuck at work late sometimes. He is really communicative and I appreciate that all of the doors were closed and locked.

William did a great job watching all our pets, especially our dog Rosie, who just really loves someone by her side (a lot). We had some unexpected travel changes and William was communicative and flexible as we worked it all out. He is prompt, responsible, and was eager to know the details of how to best care for our pets. Everything went smoothly and we're glad we found William!

William did an amazing job taking care of our 2 1/2 yr old Pembroke Corgi, Caly and our house - both of which could be challenging! Caly is a high anxiety rehome that we have had for less than 6 months and she immediately bonded with him, and he treated her very, very well. William also took great care of our house, some parts of which are still being remodeled as we move into it for our retirement years. Our completely new kitchen was just as we had left it, everything was clean, and he ended up staying for almost 4 weeks leaving his own home over the Holidays. He sent us wonderful pictures - especially of Caly on Christmas - and communicated with us in a very timely manner, but most importantly, he was a caring companion and attentive care giver for our dog. We feel that William is very professional, very skilled in caring for dogs, and we would highly recommend him.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs that he needs attended to. Also any medication and feeding schedule that she's used to, since dogs love routine.

A typical day

We'll have fun playing outside, going for walks, maybe even making friends with other pooches in the neighborhood. I love to walk to cool small parks and spend the day together there.
