Highlights
Pet care experience
High Maintenance is my Specialty
I am a lifelong dog owner and have nearly a decade of experience with rescues and high maintenance/big personality pups. I have owned German Shepherds and am very comfortable with all types of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I love chill dogs as much as the next sitter but specialize in dogs with behavioral differences, leash aggression and reactivity, fear, and anxiety. They can help having big feelings too! Dogs are my passion, and compassion for their past is a must when it comes to rescues.
Cat care experience
William also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Ratings and reviews
Will was such a wonderful and considerate walker for Seymour!! Communicative and absolutely delightful. Thank you!!
Will is great and very understanding! He is good with my anxious dog and you should definitely book him!
William was fantastic with Cozy, my reactive dog in active training. He followed his protocols to a T, kept him calm through a minor trigger, made sure he stayed hydrated on a warm day, and left a detailed note after the visit. Exactly the kind of attentive, communicative walker a dog with special needs requires. Highly recommend!
William is great! Very professional, friendly, and responsive. He is really knowledgeable and experienced handling all dog behaviors (our rescue is very leash reactive). First dog walker we’ve been comfortable trusting someone with. Couldn’t be more appreciative!
Will came through last minute! Got our fussy Chihuahua out of the house in the cold winter, which is an actual miracle. Appreciate Will so much!
William has been phenomenal with our Ringo. He is a great communicator, arrives promptly, and shares detailed recaps (with photos!) of their walks. He's been such a great resource while we are at work during the week, and we would definitely recommend him for any walking needs!!
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I am a writer and actor and am flexible when it comes to fur baby care! Maybe Rover is the new bartending gig for people in the arts? I am mostly work from home and am able to schedule walks and drop in care throughout the week.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I am diligent in the care for my own pets, ensuring feeding schedules, walks, liter box cleaning, and medications are all done on time and on schedule and bring the same punctuality and professionalism to you and yours too. Our little not so secret can be you knowing that I love pets more than people and am committed to their happiness and wellbeing. People are cool too. But dogs and cats rule!

A typical day
Doggos and I love it all! Short and long walks, dog park visits and activities, a slower pace for the senior sweethearts and happy to even run with the young whipper snappers for those realizing NYC can be a big ask on hyperactive dogs.
