Ready to Care for Your Canine!

Pet care experience

I am medical graduate in Chicago looking to help you with your pet! I My house has always been full of pets as a kid so I have lots of experience with both dogs and cats. I am willing to take care of your pet like it was my own. I have owned and cared for several dogs at my own home in Houston. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover for my entire life. My family has always owned multiple dogs. From an early age, I would play with dogs in my own backyard and take them out for walks. My experience administering medication Yes. I am currently a medical student and I know the patients may look different but I have a caring heart and would be more than happy to assist with your pet's medications.

We had a meet and greet with Phillip and it went very well. He is very friendly and easy going. My pets seemed to like him very much too. He was very communicative and seemed very interested in getting all the details regarding the pets' routines, personalities and feeding schedules. We were away for 4 nights and received regular updates and photos. He administered medication, interacted with my pets and played ball with Harper (which she requires daily). He was very patient with Riley (my problem child) too. Even when he had to go to his regular job he offered to adjust his schedule to accommodate my pets which was really helpful. My home was neat and my pets seemed happy and healthy when we returned. Very smooth experience. I highly recommend him and will definitely use his services again.

Phillip was amazing! If I could give him 10 stars, I would! One of our dogs has meningitis and takes 4 medications a day. Not only was Phillip able to keep up with those meds, when Rocko started seizing he was able to administer his rescue medication and even took him to the vet. It was a scary time for us not being there while this was happening to our dog, but we knew he was in excellent hands. He sent us pictures daily was always updating us on the pups. As an added bonus, our place looked better than how we left it and he was even willing to water my tomato plant! I would recommend Phillip to anyone and we will definitely be using him again in the future!

Phillip was great! He gave detailed updates and provided photos of every visit. He even came to feed our cats last minute after a friend had bailed and couldn't make it. Highly recommend for any type of pet or job!
