Pet care experience

If you’re looking for a responsible, mature and reliable sitter - look no further! Hi there. My name is Philip and I am a military veteran with previous medical experience and is absolutely in love with all animals! Not only have I taken a care of all sorts of animals, but I have also lived with many and have worked with service dogs and wounded warrior patients at work. My priority are BOTH you and your pets! I will do whatever is necessary to make everyone comfortable while prioritizing safety and establishing bonds/relationships. I enjoy taking pictures and sending updates, however if you want to relax and be left alone, just let me know!

We couldn't have asked for a better house/pet-sitting experience! Philip immediately put us at ease during our meet-and-greet, and our two dogs warmed up to him right away. We booked him to stay at our house while we were out of town for a week, and now that we're home, we have nothing but great things to say. Philip sent daily updates with lots of fun details and great photos, and it was obvious he was incredibly attentive to our dogs' needs. He was always quick to respond to messages and was very accommodating when our travel plans changed and we ended up returning a day earlier than expected. We left plenty of detailed instructions about both the dogs and the house, and it was clear that Philip paid attention to every detail. Our dogs can be challenging to walk because of leash reactivity, but Philip understood their behavior and managed them perfectly. Our young husky mix is strong, has a very high prey drive, and loves to jump the fence, but Philip made sure he didn’t escape. He even watered our flowers and garden beds during a heat wave, which absolutely saved them. Coming home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs and a house that was just as we left it made the end of our trip that much better. Philip was perfect and being able to trust that our house and pets were being well-cared-for allowed us to fully relax on our family vacation. We would not hesitate to book him again!

Philip took care of my dogs like they were his own. He was patient, attentive, and incredibly respectful of their routines and personalities. One of my dogs can be a little anxious, and Philip handled that with calm reassurance and experience. I got thoughtful updates, photos, and honest communication the whole time. It’s rare to find someone you can trust fully with your pets, but Philip is absolutely one of those people. I’m grateful for the peace of mind he gave me.
