Pet care experience

I AM ALMOST ALWAYS HOME.

I am recently retired and have owned dogs for over 40 years. Your dog will get run of the house and the fenced back yard and can swim in the pool if they want. They can sleep on the bed and jump on the furniture, and I will always be here to keep an eye on them, short trips to the grocery store and the gym notwithstanding. I will only take on one dog at a time so your dog will get maximum attention. Please have all vaccinations and flea and heart worm meds current if you have outside dogs. I have a fenced yard for supervised play, and they can also pee and poop there in between the two daily walks they have in a sidewalked neighborhood. I have been a rover host for 4 years but had to take a new months off due to illness in my family. But I am back now and ready to spoil your dog and do everything I can to make them happy while you are away. I have been a Rover sitter for 4 years under the name of William and Bill Karp & Wiley, but William died, and I reported it to Rover, and they closed his account. So I am starting over.

William welcomed our little princess dog into his home and took great care of her. This was her 2nd stay there and she enjoyed it. He sent pictures with updates each day so we could see how relaxed, comfortable and happy she was. Will definitely recommend William and we’ll have her stay there again. Thanks! 👍🏼😉

William was a great sitter for my rottie. He communicated frequently and sent pictures , so i could see my pup was happy. I hope to use him again in the future, I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and kind dog sitter.

William has taken care of our Bianca several times, most recently in December 2025 and also this past beginning of January 2026. And several times prior. He is wonderful with Bianca and she looooves going to his place. We trust him IMPLICITLY with her care and he always sends photos and messages, telling us how much is enjoying her company. I know if Bianca could talk, she would say the same about spending time with William!! Highly, highly recommend! We NEVER EVER worry about being away when Bianca is with William!!

I am retired and am always home, I will watch your baby day and night in a safe environment with a big fenced yard. I make your dog my priority, so there will be walks every day and frequent trips to play in the back yard.
