Pet care experience

Fun and Reliable Best Friend

I’ve been loving and caring for dogs for over 30 years. My pet care experience started with the family pets as a child. I would give fresh water and clean up messes in the yard. Later on, I volunteered with animal shelters for close to 8 years. With the shelters, I would clean kennels, provide clean food and water, take dogs for walks/jogs/runs and play, provide medications when necessary, and take note of any medical or behavioral issues. I also fostered 24 dogs over the course of 2 years for a rescue organization. I would pick the dog up from whichever location they were being boarded at and bring them in to live with me until they ended up in a forever home. I’d take them for walks, play with them in the yard, take them to adoption events, drive them to vet and grooming appointments, and update their online profiles with pictures and videos showing how happy they were to be out of the shelter. In addition, I have cat and dog sat for many friends and family over the years.

Safety, trust & environment

My dog does whatever he wants in my house, but I can follow any special instructions you have for the care of your loved one(s). If you don’t have special instructions, that’s ok, I’m more than capable of providing your loved one(s) with the essentials of food, water, exercise, and love.

Dog Walking • sept. 16, 2025

Super easy to work with and the dogs were excited each time he came over to walk them. By the end of the Walk they were always tired and ready to take a nap when they came back to the house. A great help for me when I was not able to do walking for a little while. Will definitely use him again

Doggy Day Care • sept. 15, 2025

Will has proven to be a very reliable sitter. Our plans had to change last minute and he was still able to watch our dog and make accommodations so we didn’t have to cancel our plans. Our dog loves Will and we trust him to treat him like the family he is and we always feel comfortable with the frequent picture and video updates Will sends. Can’t recommend him enough!

Will was amazing. Very flexible with my schedule and more than willing to provide extra care for my puppy who had stitches. You can tell he has a true love for dogs. He cared for my dog as if he were his own. Couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter!

I’d like to know beforehand if you know that your pet shows aggression in any situations, be it other animals, people, food, water, toys, etc. I’d also like to know if there are certain things you know your pet likes or responds well to, what commands they know, is there any training you are working on that I could help with by doing things a certain way, do they have any health issues I should be aware of, which vet you’d like me to take them to in the unlikely event of emergency, do they have any known allergies, are there any foods/treats that I shouldn’t give them, along with any other info you feel is pertinent to me caring for them in your absence.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
