Having a Paws-itively Good Time
Pet care experience
Having lots of experience working with animals I am confident I can make a friendly bond with your pet to make them comfortable while you're away! I have been a dog owner all my life, raising Labrador puppies and small breeds like Yorkie's to larger working dogs like mastiff's and bull terrier's. I currently have a chiwawa/terrier mix and a Golden Retriever/lab mix who are both 4 years old. I Have worked for San Diego and Oakland Zoo as an animal care provider and keeper for lots of different animals and have experience training dogs, clicker training and operant conditioning. I'm highly energetic and enthusiastic about working with dogs as well as knowledgeable about pets needs to give them the attention they deserve while you're gone!
Reviews
Phillip has been a great carer for our cat, Lottie. He is reliable, flexible, kind and very caring. Our cat was cute and happy as always when we returned from our trip. We will take Phillip's service again if we are need.

Safety, trust & environment
I can provide behavior training, feeding and play time. Enrichment activities include puzzle feeding, fetch, brushing/grooming and other fun activities such as trail hiking and running.
Information Phillip D. would like to know about your pet
Does your dog have any special needs or behaviors I should be aware of? If so please let me know! I am comfortable with older dog needs and puppy energy.
A typical day
Odds are there's at least one bush that needs a good marking! I'll take your dog to sniff out all the best spots and make sure their paws get lots of action on the tails. Want special training such as heal commands or sit/stay? I got it covered!
