Ok if you book Phillip you have won the lottery! He is truly phenomenal from start to finish. He sends pictures every day with a little note. The dogs were so happy! But what makes him stand out is his dedication to the pups & the client. We were diverted to Milwaukee, landing around midnight due to storms in Chicago & Phillip stayed until he knew we would be making it home. I was so worried about the dogs when we landed and when I received his text that he was still at the house I almost cried. He truly is amazing!

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.

Philip is the kindest and most dependable pet sitter! He took excellent care of our Great Dane over a long weekend. From the questions he asked during our first meeting, it was clear that Phil is the kind of sitter who makes a real effort to befriend and understand the needs of every pet he cares for. To anyone who wants to rest assured that their pets are getting all the love and care they deserve while you’re away, my husband and I cannot recommend Phil highly enough.
