Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog friendly home with fenced yard
Formerly a K9 Unit Officer with experience in training multiple dogs. I am owned by a medium sized Golden Doodle that insisted on taking me for walks of 2 to 5 miles daily at various parks in the TCs, where I'm often referred to as the "dog whisperer". Retired and at home everyday with a fenced back yard and an SUV set up for comfortable dog transportation.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Philip was amazing with Kirby! He sent tons of picture updates, which completely put our minds at ease while we were away. Highly recommend!
Amazing like always.
Philip took good care of Zoe and sent lots of pictures of her out on walks with his dog while we were away for a few days.
Waffles had a great time staying with Phillip! We loved getting photos of all their adventures to different parks! It was great to see waffles happy and relaxed! We highly recommend and would use him again!
Phil is great! He’s attentive, takes the dogs walking and/or to dog parks, and even sent THE best pics every day! Highly recommend!
Greetings: Our meet and greet with Phil was exceptional. My husband and I had no worries about leaving our beloved Leo with Phil and his dog, TJ. Phil walked Leo daily and was generous with his time by sending us pics of Leo on walks and frolicking about the fenced in back yard. It meant the world to me that Leo was taken care of with such kindness and love. I would give Phil 10 stars - but it only goes up to 5 stars. Victoria

Schedule
I'm retired, and have lots of time to play with, pet, and attend to your dog's needs. I prefer no more than two dogs at a time, but would consider three if two are from the same family, or if an regular client is in a bind, and if I know all the dogs to be good with other dogs. After years of experience with many dogs, there are a couple of breeds that I will not board, not because that are bad dogs, but because they are likely to have predispositions that I find problematic. Please do not rely on the Rover calendar. Despite many complaints, this calendar is useless. Request dates that you need, and I’ll promptly tell you if they are available.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
With two large raised decks and a fenced back yard, I have plenty of space for your dog to lounge in the sun or shade, sniff, play, and make deposits in the yard. Your dog will also get one or two long daily walks, on leash, in local wooded parks, of between 2 and 5 miles. If I’m satisfied that your dog responds to commands, we will visit off leash parks as well. At night, your pup is free to enjoy the bed, furniture, or dog bed as she likes. I do not kennel dogs except for house training, or at owner request. Subject to your preference, breakfast is served between 5am and 6am with the first outing. Dinner is served after the afternoon walk around 5pm. PLEASE NOTE: I only mark my Rover calendar as unavailable if I already have two dogs booked. However, I’ve been known to make exceptions, so ask…
Pets
A typical day
With lots of opportunity for outdoor time in a fenced in yard, your dog will also go one or two hikes in a local wooded park, for 2-5 miles. If the park-of-the-day is an off-leash park, she will remain on-leash unless I am very familiar with her and she responds well to my commands, and to other dogs.
