Pet care experience

Loving, attentive care for dogs

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!

Thanks as always Philip for taking such great care of Reuben, especially while I was abroad. Had total peace of mind.

Philip was absolutely great with our Frenchie. He also took very good care of the house while we were gone. And of course, I really appreciated the photos!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a loft apartment which gives pets some privacy if needed, while also letting me keep an eye on them. I live in a quiet part of Atlanta near a nature park which is perfect for walks, and swims!!

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.
