Dog walks, animal care day or night

Pet care experience

Every animal is unique, and I can't wait to get to know yours! I spent three years as the lead dog walker/pet sitter for The Original Paw Pleaser's in North Park. I've also raised and cared for several dogs and cats of my own, and volunteer my time working with dogs, cats, and "small animals" at the San Diego Humane Society. Compassionate, safe care is my top priority, and my goal is always to make you comfortable knowing that your pet is getting the best. I'm available for dog walks and drop-in visits for feedings, playtime, belly rubs – anything you'd need. My schedule is open, so nights and weekend visits are no problem, and neither is short notice. I'm a big guy, so working with large or multiple dogs is easy, and fun! I always like to set up a free "meet and greet" at your home, so I can get to know your pet and make sure you and your pet are comfortable working with me. I also offer 45 minute and 1 hour walks. Can't wait to meet you and your pet!

Phil is the shit! One of my favorite humans. Loves my dog just as much as me, and we consider him family we've been working with him for so long. Dependable, responsible, loving, proactive, protective, considerate. I could keep going.

We cannot be more pleased to have found Phil to take such good care of our Goldendoodle, Ruby. Adjusting to the swing of life with two careers and a new puppy, can be quite stressful at times. Add onto that a pending move across the country! Phil has been amazing during our entire process from our training Ruby, to taking such great care of her while we were packing our home. We are quite fortunate for Phil being so flexible, kind, and generous with his time and genuine love for Ruby. Phil is a treasure and we are so appreciative!

Information Phillip H. would like to know about your pet

I have a detailed list of information I get in my notebook, and I always go on a walk with you and your dog during "meet and greets". One of my standards is to learn about your animals' behavior and walk him/her how you do. I'm experienced working with dogs in training. I do believe in positive reinforcement training. Consistency is one of the most important part of an animal's routine. As far as breeds and species go, I love working with as a diverse group as possible. I'm an all-around animal guy, but if I had to pick I'm most partial to mutts.

A typical day

Wherever you want me to go. If your dog has his particular route we'll stick to that. If not, I like to mix it up and let him/her experience new roads, trails and smells. We can always add in playtime, extra socialization and I always give plenty of affection and full attention.
