Pet care experience

Lincoln Square/Wimmemac Park Expert

I’m originally from KY and lived with dogs and cats until I graduated college and moved to Chicago. I’ve chosen not to own animals in the city due to professional demands. I’m now taking a different career path where I work from home and have more flexibility.

Phil provided a great day for Arlo, with plenty of updates sent throughout. He clearly is a dog lover and it shows in his care!

Philip took exceptional care of my pooch, Harry, this past weekend. I can always leave knowing Harry is in great hands. He always includes photos and regular updates too. Will definitely keep using Philip.

House Sitting • Nov 18, 2025

We have had Phillip stay at our apartment to take care of October, our senior Greyhound, for a second time. He does a phenomenal job making sure she is well taken care of! Phillip provides very regular updates and ask any questions if he notices anything out of the ordinary. He is a very clean and considerate house guest! We will continue to book with Phillip whenever we are out of town :)

House Sitting • Sep 21, 2025

Phillip rocks!! He took such great care of our Greyhound, October while we were out of town for the weekend. She was absolutely spoiled and we received many frequent check-ins with pictures! October got plenty of walks, treats and attention and it was easy to tell she was very comfortable while we were away. Phillip stayed at our apartment and was very clean and organized! This was our first experience with Rover and needless to say a great experience with Phillip. October cant wait until we’re out of town again lol!!

Safety, trust & environment

My model is to attend to the immediate needs of all animals. I’m attentive and someone who loves spending quality time with animals. I’m a father of three boys (14,11,9) and truly understand the importance of finding the best possible care for my loved ones. All of my kids LOVE animals and are comfortable with any pets given said animals like children. I’m extremely diligent about following rules and do not care for irresponsible pet parents.

A typical day
