Pet care experience

German Shepherd owner, animal lover

I am trustworthy and reliable with a love for pets. We spoil our animals and always stop to say hi to pets we meet when out and about. We have a mature well behaved German shepherd/husky mix and a younger orange cat. Growing up with pets and having so many pets in our families have given us diverse understanding of pets and their behaviors. I have volunteered transporting shelter dogs in the past as well. I have some extra time these days and it would be rewarding and fun to help with other folks pets.

Philip was great! He communicated promptly, did a meet and greet and took great care of our Schnauzer girls. He was personable, professional and very caring. We would definitely recommend Philip to care for your dogs and would ask him to tp care for ours again. Thanks 1,000,000 Philip!

Drop-In Visits • Aug 25, 2024

Philip was beyond fantastic! I am floored at how smoothly everything went, from the initial meet-and-greet to the time that I came home. Philip was incredibly reliable for the 5 days of drop-ins that I had booked. I got updates and photos at the right times, according to when I had requested the visits. He was never late, stayed for the entire duration (sometimes longer!), and took care of everything that I needed (food, water, playtime, everything...) He is insanely friendly, very communicative and professional and I am extremely impressed with everything that he did. This was my very first time using Rover, so I naturally had some 'anxiety' (for lack of a better word), but I'm confident that I chose the right person for taking care of my cat. I will 100% be calling Philip again next time I need to leave home for a few days, I have full trust in him. Exceptionally satisfied, thank you Philip!!

Doggy Day Care • Aug 23, 2024

Phillip was wonderful with Roxie my 2.5 yo poodle mix. We traveled from the states and contacted him to do doggie day care for 2 days while we were visiting the area so we could go to Louisburg. From our initial meet Roxie liked him and Phillip took her on very long walks and allowed her free time in his home even with their own dog's toys. She seemed very relaxed and happy when we picked her up. I would highly recommend Phillip if you need someone to watch your beloved pet. He's GREAT!
