I am currently working full time at NIH, and after about 3:30pm, I work with animals around my community. Weekends I like to volunteer with people struggling with bigger dogs and temperament issues. Walking and leash training is key in my experience.

Information Phill W. would like to know about your pet

If your pup has any special needs, let me know. I have worked in animal hospitals as a tech and can use that knowledge to best help whatever is needed in the situation.

A typical day

Well go to the park with my long leash attachment so that they can let loose. I’ll hide treats sometimes to two into that mental stimulation to search for things. I find that using positive reinforcement, especially in new emvironments helps the pups so a lot of love, treats, toys, whatever is needed to keep them active and comfortable

Pets

Animal caretaker, super active!

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, piranha, bunnies, turtles and rodents, etc! I have always loved and seen animals as the more primal side of our nature but that’s one of the purest forms of love that one can give!

Phil was excellent. He worked with me to calm my anxiety with boarding my pup. I got pictures and updates and will be sure to book again.

Phill was great. He sent photos and my dog seemed to have a great time. I plan to come back.

Awesome service! He took my pups in at the last minute, sent pictures, took them for walks, and made them feel comfortable. Provided special attention to one of my pups that has really bad separation anxiety. I highly recommend if you want someone that will treat your pups as his own, this is your guy!

Phil was awesome in providing daily updates on Kooper which included texts as well as pictures. I would highly recommend Phil to sit your pet. Thanks again Phil!
