I’m The Top Dog

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Phil! I love animals, and enjoy going on walks, so I thought this would be an amazing little hobby/job for me. I currently have a big orange, Garfield look-alike cat. However, I’ve had pets since I was a kid. I enjoy long walks, and cuddles. When they’re in my care, I treat them as my own! I’m currently offering pet sitting services while you’re away. This would include monitoring your house, to make sure everything is in order, as well as making sure your furry friend isn’t home alone! Text me, and I’ll be happy to stop by and meet you, free of charge. 😊

Phil is great. We left him to tend to our two large dogs over the holidays and he went so far and beyond what we expected with a sitter. Phil not only kept us updated through his entire stay by letting us know when they were going for walks, when they were fed and when he was leaving but he sent a bunch of photos of both dogs and even gps maps of where they went and the distances walked. Besides that, we came home and our house was immaculate. Not so much as a left over pizza box laying about. Super nice guy, very friendly with us, very affectionate with the dogs during the meet and greet. We would recommend Phil to anybody (except for when we need him....).

Dear Phil and Rover Clients, We had the pleasure of meeting Phil through the Rover website this past April. Our family had planned a nine day trip to Disney World Florida and we needed someone very trustworthy to watch our 5 pound “Fur baby” Bijou, a little Morkie dog of 1 1/2 years old. Phil was very willing to come over to our house for a pre-interview. I could tell from our initial meeting that he was a dog lover. And I was confident that he would take good care of Bijou. Phil showed enthusiasm at the prospect of coming to live with Bijou for nine days in our home. He made us feel comfortable. I was very happy that Bijou would have company and that she would be able to stay in her home and eat her regular food and keep her normal routine. Phil came and went from his other jobs using a car and when necessary bus transit. He took Bijou on very long walks and also explored our neighbourhood with the dog at great lengths using a GPS tracker to show us his route (much further than we have explored, lol). He sent daily photos and videos of our dog, which always sent the kids running to get me saying that “Phil had texted a new picture/video, come see!” When we returned from our vacation, the look on my dog’s face was contentment. She did not show any signs of anxiety or distress, as she had shown in the past having stayed at a kennel. I highly recommend Phil and I have also rebooked him for our coming vacations this summer. The only thing I would do differently if I was to go on such a long vacation again (over a week) would be to have the dog professionally groomed once. The reason for this is because Bijou‘s fur texture is high maintenance because she is a Morkie. And also because it rained quite a bit while we were gone she could have used a professional de-matting process. I hope this helps in your decision for finding a reliable dog sitter. Thanks again Phil. Sincerely, Amy
