Information Philip W. would like to know about your pet

Please share information about medication and allergies! Also if your dog is an active chewer, let me know so I can move my shoes and other chewables

A typical day

Days normally start with a nice walk in the nearby nature park. Then I'll either be in classes at my desk or occasionally out of the house until noon. After that I like to take dogs out for hourly breaks outside, and finish with a longer walk once the sun is going down.

Loving, attentive care for dogs

Pet care experience

I've had dogs all my life, and love animals more than anything. I can't currently own my own pet though, so I'd love to spend some time with and take care of yours! I have plenty of experience with high needs animals and don't mind administering multiple medications. I know how stressful it can be to leave a vulnerable pet with another, but I hope I can relieve that stress!

The best sitter! I’ve worked with him 3 or 4 times now and he’s flexible, communicative and kind. Definitely recommend!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
