Pet care experience
Hello there! My name is Will, and I am a devoted dog owner with 13 years of experience. I've especially loved raising my sweet Basset Hound and caring for other people's dogs. Now, I'm eager to offer top-quality care to your furry friends, regardless of size or age. I am based in south St. Petersburg, just 10 minutes away from the beach and downtown area. My home is clean, peaceful, and perfect for dogs to relax and play. I work full-time, remotely from home, which provides me the flexibility to keep a constant watch and care for your dogs. With treats and toys at the ready, your dog will have plenty of enjoyment during their stay. Prior to all bookings, I arrange meet and greets to ensure both you and your pup feel comfortable. If we're a good match, I'll provide 1-2 updates daily, featuring pictures and written reports about how your pet is enjoying their stay. Aside from general care, I can also handle specific needs like administering medication or handling special diets, if necessary. I have a comprehensive emergency plan in place, including a close-by vet, and I'm well-versed in canine first aid. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or would like to book my services! I look forward to making your pet feel at home.

Safety, trust & environment
Whether caring for pets in my own home or in a client's home, my approach centers on maintaining a comfortable, secure environment and a consistent routine, tailored to each pet's unique needs and preferences. In My Home: I ensure that my home is a pet-friendly environment. I have a clean, safe space dedicated to pets with comfortable sleeping areas, food and water bowls, and an assortment of toys. Pets are free to roam around most areas of my house under my supervision. Daily activities include scheduled feeding, frequent walks, and playtime, adjusted to each pet's routine. In a Client's Home: When caring for pets in their own home, I respect the pet's established routines to minimize any disruptions. I follow the pet care instructions provided by the owner closely, regarding feeding schedules, walking times, and any special requirements. Just like in my own home, activities will include regular feeding, walks, playtime, and any additional tasks requested by the owner, such as watering plants or bringing in the mail. In case of any emergencies, I would promptly contact the pet owner and follow their instructions. In both scenarios, my focus is on providing attentive and loving care, ensuring the pet feels secure and happy, and keeping the owner updated with regular photos and messages about their pet's activities and well-being.

Information William S. would like to know about your pet
To provide the best care, I need to know a few things about your dog ahead of time: 1. Any dietary restrictions or allergies. 2. Their daily routine (meal times, walk times, etc.). 3. Their preferred activities and any toys they particularly love. 4. Any medication they take or medical conditions they have. 5. Their behavior around other dogs and people. 6. Any triggers or stressors (e.g., loud noises, certain types of people or dogs, etc.). 7. Emergency contact information and vet's contact details. 8. Any special needs or requests you might have. Understanding these details helps me ensure your dog has a comfortable and enjoyable stay while in my care.
A typical day
Within the comfort of my home, I engage dogs in physical and mental activities. These include indoor games like fetch or tug-of-war. For quieter pets, gentle play and snuggle time are also part of the routine. Activities are always tailored to each dog's preferences and needs. In addition, there's a trail near my house that is ideal for dog walks as it provides ample shade. Walks and all activities will always be tailored to your dog's preferences, energy level, and comfort.

As a remote worker, pet care fits seamlessly into my day. Beginning at 6:30 AM with a walk and breakfast based on your pet's schedule, I offer flexibility for play and extra walks throughout the day. Dinner aligns with your pet's routine, ending with a walk before bedtime at 10 PM. I adapt this routine to cater to each pet's unique needs, ensuring their comfort and well-being.
