Pet care experience

A smile is a great way to tip.

I have cared for pets since I was a child. I've had a Rottweiler/Lab for 14 years then 2 schnauzer/Lhasa Apso for 17 years. Grew up with sisters that have had cats and my spouse has 2 cats. I've set up and cared for lizards snakes amphibians as well. Had a toad for 5 years and a fire belly newt for 14 years. I'm not the best at training but I can say with confidence they will be happy while they're here.

Doggy Day Care • May 04, 2026

I can’t say enough good things about our dog daycare experience! My German Shepherd (Loki) can be a handful—high energy, super smart, and needs a lot of attention—but he absolutely loves going there. From day one, it was clear how much care and patience goes into what they do. I always feel at ease knowing my dog is in a safe, structured, and positive environment. He comes home happy, tired, and well taken care of every single time. What really stands out is the level of communication and reliability. I get updates, and it’s obvious Philip genuinely care about each dog, not just treating it like a job. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy who truly understands dogs (especially high-energy breeds), I highly recommend Philip. It’s made a huge difference for both me and my dog.

Philip adore tous les animaux. Doux, patient, il a de l’expérience avec les chats et chiens jeunes et âgés. Il sait aussi s’occuper de plusieurs animaux exotiques. Si vous voulez quelqu’un qui aimera réellement passer du temps avec avec votre animal et aura son bien être à cœur, il est la personne idéale!
