Watching pets every day of the week

Pet care experience

I have taken care of cats and dogs for years since I was 12 years old. My grandmother had six cats (at different times) growing up and my sister and I took care of our dog for over 10 years. Now, I help out my friends by watching their two cats and their dog when they are out of town or need me to check in on them.

Did a fantastic job!

Phil took care of our two cats while my fiancé and I were away. One is rambunctious and the other is very shy, and Phil handled their differing needs and temperaments with expert care. He sent lots of pictures so that we didn’t have to worry about them at all while we were gone! I trust Phil 100% with my fur babies and would highly recommend him.

Phil watched my dog while I went out of town and was a wonderful pet sitter. He took very good care of my dog and was extremely attentive. My dog was sad to say goodbye when I picked him up. Phil is also great at taking pictures on walks and when they were playing which he shared with me while I was gone. You can tell that he really enjoys being around dogs! I would definitely recommend Phil as a pet sitter/walker!

No only is Phil an avid animal lover, but he is attentive and caring. For nearly 11 years, he played an integral role in caring for our family dog, Chloe. He helped feed, walk, and play with her, as well as give her medications as she got older and of course, providing endless love and affection. He is extremely trustworthy, and is more than capable of providing responsible and loving pet care, regularly helping to look after friends’ cats and dogs when asked. I’d highly recommend Phil to anyone looking for gentle and detailed pet care.

Safety, trust & environment

I have experience fostering dogs so working with them in the crate and walking on the leash is possible. My fiancé and I live in a three bedroom apartment so there is space, but most likely not for a big dog. We only have a fish right now.

Information Phil S. would like to know about your pet

Any dog that is not fully potty trained would be a need to know, as the apartment I live in has carpet. And that goes for taking care of someone else’s dogs when checking in on them so I know how urgent to take them out. Also any kind of reactivity to other dogs, squirrels, birds, etc. Growing up my dog of 50 lbs was a handful to walk sometimes but I could handle her pretty easily.

A typical day

I love within walking distance of Lenox Park which has a fenced in dog park and lots of trails. It is very walkable and I also go for runs in there so if they are high energy, that is an option as well. There is plenty of space there for playing with balls and toys in the fenced in dog park area.
