Highlights
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.

Philip also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Ratings and reviews
I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! He watched my dog for four days while I was in Boston and was amazing from start to finish. He sent great messages, photos, and updates throughout the trip, so I always knew she was happy and being well taken care of. My flight home ended up being delayed, and he even went above and beyond by dropping her off for me, which was incredibly helpful and appreciated. It’s obvious he genuinely cares about the dogs he watches. I would absolutely trust him with her again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!
Philip is flexible and takes great care of our pup. He is quick to respond and it’s clear he loves animals.
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.
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 :)
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!!

Home characteristics
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.
