Safety, trust & environment

I am a calming presence around dogs/cats and can spend quality time with them throughout the day. I enjoy walking and/or running with dogs as well.

Information William S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dogs have trouble interacting non-aggressively with other dogs or humans (small or large). Have had poor experience with pitbulls in the past so not currently accepting jobs with pitbulls at this time.

A typical day

Love to be active with dogs, be that through long walks, jogs, or playing with balls or toys. Love to just spend time with your pets around the house while I study or read.

Pet care experience

Providing dog-sitting and dog-walking services. During my 3.5 years in school here have spent many days with the dogs and cats of the upper valley. Have experience with small, medium, and larger dogs. Love to be active with dogs, but also have been told I have a calming presence with animals! Now that I have finished up credits and am waiting to graduate have lots more time to spend.

Will stayed in my house and cared for my dog and cat for several weeks. He was wonderful. My dog is very sensitive and easily spooked. Will was kind and patient with her and she was in great spirits when I returned. The cat is a character and likes to wander. Will kept him safe and close. My home was in wonderful shape when I returned. Will is very conscientious, respectful and reliable. He’ll take wonderful care of your loved pets and home if needed. Highest recommendations.

Bright and engaging, with a kind and soft spoken demeanor, your dog will look forward to Will’s punctual arrival for a fun dog walk, or a daily meal. Will’s arrival to Geisel School of Medicine four years ago coincided for our need for a house sitter and care for our beloved 11 year old Labrador. Will and our Homer became good friends and over the last 3 years of his life, Will provided compassionate care, great company and happy outdoor time. We always arrived home to a clean house and a content, happy dog. I highly recommend Will!
