Phillip took great care of our 2 girls….one is a puppy! He kept me informed throughout the 6 days we were traveling. We felt very comfortable with him staying in our home and giving love and care to our sweet doggies

Philip and Julie are absolutely fantastic with Leo. They handled a last-minute schedule change without hesitation and were so accommodating. Leo always comes home happy and tired after plenty of nature walks, and we love the amazing photos they send during his stay. They’re reliable, kind, and clearly care about every detail. Highly recommend!

Strongly recommend Phillip. We enoyed a short meet & greet and scheduled him right away. Our little Zoe was well taken care of. Phillip is a great communicator and extremely dependable/ prompt with his visits. Thank you Phillip!

We can’t thank Philip and Julie enough for taking such wonderful care of our pup, Leo. When we're traveling, it means the world to know that he’s not only in good hands but also genuinely loved and cared for. The updates and photos they send are absolutely top-notch and always bring a smile to our faces. It’s incredibly reassuring to see Leo so happy and relaxed—we truly feel at ease knowing he's with them. Thank you both for everything you do. You're the best!

Schedule

We work from home and I have flexibility that allows me to spend plenty of time in caring for your pet. We walk our dog at least twice a day, weather permitting. So, your pup will get plenty of exercise! I'm organized and responsible, and will be very responsive to you and your pet's needs.
