Pet care experience

instagram @barkshirehowlaway

It's been a great 3 years on Rover. I'm dedicated and my service is consistent. Dog sitting has become a big part of my life. There aren't any new reviews because I continue to care for the same pet parents who originally left them. Many of those pet parents have gone on to refer their family, friends, and neighbors. Currently all of my bookings are repeats or referrals. In my experience, meet & greets are necessary for many reasons. I can try to paint a picture of what goes on during the day, but it's not as good as stopping by to see the environment in person.

Philip Is AMAZING!!! I would give him 6 out of 5 stars if possible. He’s friendly, responsive, took such good care of our 2 huskies, and gave us frequent updates on our dogs. We felt at ease during our vacation knowing that our babies were in good hands. You can tell that pet boarding isn’t just a job for Philip, it is his passion. His entire house is dedicated to providing a fun and safe environment for all the dogs that stay there. He sends fun text and photo updates throughout the day because he really enjoys spending time with all the dogs. Philip is also a fantastic pet photographer and took some of the best photos of our dogs ever during their stay. We are so grateful to have found Philip and will definitely be a repeat customer.

I work remote and consider myself semi-retired. My day and my life revolves around the dogs that are in my care. I love it.

Safety, trust & environment

My house is secure and comfortable. The yard has tall walls and gates. Inside the house, the trash cans have lids and we keep the floors clean. The a/c is set at 73 degrees in the summer. There is a/c in the garage as well.

A typical day

The dogs are free to roam the house and yard. They can watch tv, hang out with friends, or follow me around. When the weather is cool, I take them on a field trip to another property nearby where there is a HUGE yard to run around.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs

Philip can host up to 2 pets per night
I require a meet & greet where I'll examine your dog's behavior and ask you questions. Please have all shots and paperwork ready. *Your dog absolutely needs to be friendly with other dogs.
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.
