I will just begin with this -- my dogs LOVED Willis ! They were treated (spoiled) the same way they are at our home. It is such a peace of mind knowing that when we travel, we can leave our pups with a gentleman that is so kind and loving to them. And yes, they slept in his bed the same as they do here. If you have a dog that insists on constant affection and interaction, I would highly recommend Willis. We will most definitely be hiring him again -- oh, and his pups were an added bonus for my dogs. They loved having others to play with. When we picked them up, they slept the full 2 hours home. Happy, tired boys ♡

It was clear from the moment we booked with Willis D. that we would be leaving our precious pupper with the best possible caregiver. His immense love for dogs was felt through his patient, attentive care of our elderly boy Rex. Willis made sure our dogs unique needs were attended to, he provided daily heartwarming updates, and went above and beyond on all aspects of his stay. We had peace of mind during our vacation that Rex was safe and being meticulously cared for. Willis is dependable, patient, thoughtful and compassionate. We could not recommend him more or ever thank him enough.

Dog Walking • Aug 04, 2026

Willis was so kind and patient with my dog Frankie, and Frankie really seemed to enjoy the walk. Frankie was excited and energetic when he returned home, and he even ran back to Willis for pets, so I could tell he liked him. This was a great first Rover experience!

Ritz had an amazing time getting plenty of walks and a pup cup! We got plenty of updates and photos throughout his stay

Willis kept our girl Harper for four days and she had an absolutely awesome time. She will probably sleep for two days straight! He was easy to contact and fast to respond. Pictures were sent daily. Highly recommend.
