Pet care experience

Animal rescuer. Bengal cat dad.

I am very experienced at dog/cat care and training from over 30 years of pet care. I have an 11 year old bengal cat who is really wild and crazy and likes to eat vegetables. My cat knows tricks like sit, stand up, come here, no, etc. I had a hyper labrador who I loved, trained, and took running/walking for over 15 years. I have had my bearded dragon for 16 years and he chases the cat. I had maybe 30 other pets when I was a kid growing up including fish, reptiles, rodents, insects, dogs, and cats etc. I am very experienced setting up/maintaining saltwater and freshwater aquariums as well. I am honest, reliable, and a true animal lover.

I just moved to San Antonio and had to leave town for a few days. Philip took good care of my cat, Natasha, and was patient while she adjusted to a new home. He was reliable and seems to genuinely care about animals. Thanks, Philip!

Philip has the most skill at working with animals of anyone that I have ever met. I strongly recommend that you choose him as your pet sitter.

Philip is great with animals, loves giving them lots of attention. Loves taking dogs on walks or giving extra pets to cats. He used to work at a pet store and is very knowledgeable about aquariums as well.

Philip loves animals of all kinds and has always exhibited the greatest care for them. His personal pets have included: dogs, cats, rats, garter snake, lizards, and ferret. I would highly recommend him as a caregiver to your pets.

Philip loves pets, such as his cat and bearded dragon, and in the past his ferret, rats, and fish. He walked my dog for many years reliably. He cared for my cat for many years. He is caring, reliable, and trustworthy with pets. I recommend him highly for pet care.

Is it dog or people friendly? Does it's harness or collar fit securely? Is it trained at all? Would going jogging be alright or only walking?
