I'm fortunate enough to have a work from home career. I'm able to set my own schedule and a vast majority of my work is computer driven. That means that I'll be around your pet(s) the whole time and make sure they're needs are fully met throughout the day/night.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a very quiet community in Dilworth with open green spaces and plenty of local parks and paths to walk. I have 2 dogs, both rescues, that are both very friendly. One, Olive is a senior and almost 16 years old. The other is Riley who's 9 and loves all dogs and always up for playing. I also have a cat, Gibson, that has been around dogs her whole life and mostly stays in the guest bedroom to look out the window.

Information Philip S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there are any special needs or care techniques required for your pets ahead of time so we can always make sure it's completely understood and follow through to your specifications.

A typical day

Being an outdoors and active person, I'd have no problem being the same with your pets. I love walks (slow or brisk) either locally around the home or out to one of Charlotte's many parks. If your dogs love chasing balls/toys, I'm always game! Sometimes it may be playing inside or for senior dogs, just some extra TLC and scratches. If your dog is open to dog parks with other pets, there are several close by that are always a blast.

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Philip and I'm originally from Lexington, SC. I've been around pets of all types since I was a little kid. We had several breeds of puppies growing up that I helped deliver and raise, along with several senior dogs that've required specialty care. I'm fully experienced in the full cycle of a dog's life and it's particular needs throughout. I'm familiar with different administration types of different medications as well. My girlfriend Mallory also grew up with animals and worked at Veterinarian's office for several years and we both work Rover together. Mallory and I both work from home and set our own schedules so we'll always be around your pets to make sure they're well looked after. We look forward to meeting you!

Punctual, sweet to my babies, extremely considerate, and helpful. I couldn’t have done that day without them! Sent me a bunch of photos to update me and the dogs were so happy. Thank you !

Five stars isn’t enough! Philip is incredible- friendly, relaxed, and instant friends with new pups. We had never left our puppy for more than a few nights, but had a two week honeymoon planned. Philip came over to meet Cabby before the trip, and his professional but warm attitude put our minds at ease immediately. He sent us pictures and updates while we were gone, gave our girl lots of love, and followed her routine (including medication) to give her stability. He also took great care of our home- I swear it might be cleaner than when we left! Without a doubt, the best experience all-around. We will absolutely be reaching out to Philip and Mallory when we start planning our next trip. Thank you so much, Philip, for taking care of Cabby like your own ❤️ and she sends kisses!

Mallory and Phillip were absolutely amazing!! She took such great care of Hank and Bear! I was so nervous to leave them and she made me feel a million times better! Knowing I was so nervous, she was constantly sending me photos and updates. She went above and beyond for them and we are so grateful for that! We cannot wait to have them watch our boys again!

Philip and Mallory are amazing! They have two dogs that are super sweet and a huge yard for our dog to play in. Phillip and Mallory kept us updated with pictures every day, knowing we were nervous to leave our pupper for so long for the first time. They are pros!
