Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I will be very attentive to your pets needs during my time with them. Whether they are young, mature, active or low key, social or shy, I'll work to ensure they feel safe and cared for. I have experience caring for quiet and timid animals - my husband refers to me as the pet-whisperer. I will provide your pets with the care and respect they deserve. I do not take dogs to dog parks.
Information William T. would like to know about your pet
I’d like to know any health issues, special needs, medications, restrictions, or behaviors your pet has. What commands and cues does your pet know? - so I can be consistent with your practice. How is your pet with new people? Or if on walks, what kind of situations should be avoided.
A typical day
I will read your pet's behavior and tailor my care to match your pets' energy and comfort levels. I will maintain their regular routine to the best of my ability, work to reinforce any command language they know - and providing the utmost level of care to help you feel comfortable, knowing they are in caring hands. A typical day with a cat will include properly feeding and refilling water bowls/fountains, scooping and tidying the litterbox area, administering any medications if necessary, grooming as needed, and socialization at the discretion of the cat, of course. A typical day with a dog will include feeding and refilling water bowls (as directed), a walk/bathroom break, administering any medications if necessary, grooming as needed, and playtime to match the dog's energy level and personality. I never visit any dog parks.

Experienced care for your pets
Pet care experience
Providing care for your dogs and cats in the Mount Pleasant and Adams Morgan neighborhoods. You may see other dog-walkers out there with multiple dogs. I don't do that. Your dog(s) are the only ones in my care - this ensures they get good attention and are the only focus during the walk. Dogs must be requested under dog walking, not drop-in visits. I love working with animals! I grew up with dogs (large and small) and now am a dog walker for a rescue organization in the area. I also take these rescue animals out on day-long adventures. We are now have 2 young cats at home, but have had cats for the last 27 years, some reaching the grand age of 19 years. Every animal deserves the best care. I will provide your pets with the highest level of care, as if they are my own. I can check in on animals at every life stage: from kitten and puppy through seniors. I can administer transdermal, and topical medication to both cats and dogs. I can use pill pockets, or mix medication in food. I have experience caring for animals with diabetes and arthritis, among other ailments. I am familiar with pets with poor appetites and know how to use to various automated pet feeders. For dogs, I will provide walks, play and other care as needed. I prefer dogs that are spayed/neutered. I recommend a harness for dog walking For cats I will provide engagement, play as well as cleaning litter boxes and checking on food and water as directed. I am currently insured as a sitter with Pet Care Insurance (PCI).

Reviews

William was so lovely! My cat was in great hands.

William is wonderful to work with. The communication is easy and responses are quick. It’s great that we have them in the neighborhood!
William was a wonderful cat sitter for our two cats. He took good care of them and sent photos and a helpful report. I also appreciate how communicative he is and he genuinely seems to like animals.

William was great! Extremely communicative and took great care of my little girl.
