German Shepherd owner, animal lover

Pet care experience

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.

Phil has helped me out with my dog Finn many times! Finn is a Newfie/Lab mix and he’s a big boy, so I don’t trust him with just anyone, but I always know he’s in capable hands when it comes to Phil. Whenever he spends time with Phil he always updates me with photos of him, which gives me peace of mind. And he comes back an exhausted and happy pup! Would highly recommend him for any of your pet-related needs. Very trusting and friendly guy!

I would highly recommend trusting Phil to care for your animals! My rescue dog Onda is very picky with humans but Phil is her favourite person. He is very patient with her and takes great care of her. I wouldn't hesitate to have Phil dog sit Onda again!

You will not regret having Phil looking after your pet. He is very responsible and will treat your pet like his own. We always left our beloved family dog Mina with Phil, no matter if for a few hours or a few weeks. Mina loved spending time with Phil and with his gentle dog Rocco. I never worried even when Mina had some physical health issues as I knew she was in good hands. He is very experienced with handling big and small, energetic and reactive dogs.

Philip is an absolute natural when it comes to pet care. He has a big heart and playful nature that our rescue dog loves, but he’s also human-approved because he always communicates so well when we leave our sweet girl under his care! I could not recommend anymore else more to give your pets the love and attention that they deserve and hope that you’ll have the chance to meet Philip’s precious German Shepherd too.

Information Philip H. would like to know about your pet

I have experience with dogs large and small. My dog has had to have various medications throughout his life and I am comfortable helping with this if needed.

A typical day

An adventure outside is always good. Get some exercise and fresh air, either urban or at a park or trail. Playing with toys and working on some training is always a good time as well.

I’m currently working on some projects for myself so I can make some free time when needed most of the time. Ask and we can hopefully work something out.
