Highlights
Pet care experience
Dogs + Music = Good Time!
I love furry companions and when appropriate, getting dirty too! Born and raised on the Central Coast of California, a 4H member, with over two years experience working on farms in Pennsylvania, New York, Georgia, and Canada. Here, I learned about permaculture gardening, renewable energy and growing organic. I worked with sheep, cows, poultry, dogs and cats. My 15 years of experience in musical theater includes Sight and Sound, where I worked with live animals on 20,000 square foot stage. I learned how to dance and sing around the...You know... I naturally collaborate with light heart and a giddy up in my step. I have excellent organizational skills, congenial, and take instructions with details in mind. I keep striving for the more excellent way. I consider it a high honor to be a guest in anyones home! Looking forward to meeting you and yours! 'The righteous care for the needs of their animals' Proverbs 12:10 'Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”' Genesis 1:26 *Two night minimum stay is required for booking, Thank you!*

Ratings and reviews
Philip was amazing! From the moment my 2 pups met him they loved him. He took such great care of them & my home! He kept them on their schedule & in routine. He sent pics & they were both SO happy! I was able to enjoy my trip knowing my babies & home were being well cared for! I could not be more happy! Thank you Philip!
Philip took excellent care of our dog and house. He didn’t miss a beat even when the house lost heat for a couple days. Will definitely use again!
Philip is wonderful! Our girl, Frida, is a spicy lady who likes things done at her pace. He gave her the space to be herself and went above and beyond to gain her trust. He was super communicative and reached out if he had any questions (which I really appreciated). He also did a fantastic job cleaning up. We look forward to having Philip watch our spicy nugget soon.
Philip may or may not be a literal lifesaver, but he sure saved our bacon this week. We booked him for the first time last week, right before we left to go to our daughter’s dance competition. He came through and then some. He came over the day before we left to meet our pets. He asked all the right questions and took notes of the answers. He had a couple other questions after he left and followed up by text. We got home today and the house was cleaner than when we left. More important, our animals were happy and well cared for. I’d give him a bonus sixth star if I could—and we’ll definitely be rehiring him whenever we’re away. THANK YOU, Philip! We’re super glad we found you.
Philip has house sat my Greyhound on three different occasions. I can recommend Philip without reservation. If he has any questions about my dog or staying in my house , he texts me immediately and that makes me feel that my house and dog are in good hands
Philip was wonderful. From the first time he met our Murphy you could tell he loved dogs. He was patient with all our annoying requests, took exceptional care of our home, and made us feel like our pet was being cared for and loved in our absence. We look forward to hiring him again! Highly recommend!
