Ratings and reviews
I was able to relax on our vacation knowing they were well taking care of and that means a lot! I know it wasn't easy with 2 puppies!
Phillip was great with everyone..definitely will ask him again to sit!
Phillip was so great with our large (90lb) 10 month puppy Muggsy this weekend. He took the time to do a meet and greet beforehand to make sure Muggsys needs and routine was met. He gave Muggsy lots of affection, playtime, and active walks throughout his stay, and worked within our training routine to keep him on his best behavior. Our home was cared for and clean when we returned as well! Thank you, Phil!
Great guy. Dogs had great time with him. Got my house back as I left. Well organized and great to work with.
Phil was great, I’d highly recommend! He was great at communicating leading up to Sasha’s walk and arrived on time. I immediately felt comfortable with Sasha in his care. He took time to meet her and she quickly took to him. I loved the photos I got in the report card too! I know I can trust Phil with my dog. We will definitely have Phil as our regular dog walker/sitter in the future!
Phillip stayed at our house and took care of our pit terrier mix, Sasha, when we were on vacation. He did a wonderful job! He took Sasha outside to play multiple times a day, made sure she had her medication with her food, and gave her tons of TLC when we were away. Sasha always gets super excited when Philllip comes over (which says a lot because she is usually pretty shy.) I would definitely have him watch Sasha again!
