Friendly guy & lover of all animals

Pet care experience

There has been a dog in my family my entire life. Our German Shepard, Ben, was with me as a young child. Then my family was blessed with a chocolate lab named Millie. When I moved out of my parent's house I got my own American Foxhound/Border Collie/Australian Cattle Dog mix named Jack! I frequently visit my parents and help take care of their dog, a golden retriever named Emre. Both my brother and sister have cats which I care for frequently. I do not currently have a dog as they have all moved on to Heaven. I only care for one dog at a time so I am able to give your dog individual attention. I enjoy walking, and I want to do it more often to get healthier. I couldn't think of a better and more productive thing for me to do than walk dogs. I am friendly, responsible, and experienced with dogs of all breeds and sizes. I would be happy to safely walk your dog in order to give you a much deserved break!

Phillip took care of my senior girl during Christmas break. Bambi (dog) returned home relaxed. Phillip administered her medication and fed her following her usual schedule. She enjoyed her daily walks with him and we enjoyed the pics that he sent us of our pup. I wholeheartedly recommend Phillip for your pet. We will definitely contact Phillip when we go again on vacation.

Phil was excellent with our dog, Frankie! He sent updates and communicated the whole time we were gone. He was very easy to book with and Frank had a great time at his house. Would absolutely use him again to watch our dog!

Philip took excellent care of Albie. I trusted him while we were on vacation and his communication was great.

If you are looking for someone responsive, compassionate, and just a nice human being taking care of your loved one, then Philip is the person for the job. He sent pics and updated me often, making my trip less stressful. I will certainly be calling Philip again!!
