Milo had a great stay with Phillip! Came home happy and ready to catch up on snuggles. So glad to have found a great place for Milo to vacation when he can’t travel with me.

My dog really likes Phillip and he is very flexible with drop off and pick up times. Will use him again!

Phillip was flexible, esp when our dog ended up getting a stomach bug the night before we dropped her off. We appreciate his willingness to administer medication when that wasn’t originally part of the plan!!

Schedule

I work from home full-time, so your pet will never be left alone or unattended. My day includes frequent breaks for walks, play, and fresh air—short outings during work hours and a longer evening stroll in nearby fields or parks. Pets stay supervised, engaged, and always treated like family.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a secure, fenced yard and dedicated indoor spaces for rest and play. On walks, pets are always leashed and supervised with calm, positive care. As a Navy Veteran and former nurse, I bring reliability, attention to detail, and a strong duty of care. Pet care is a family effort in our home—together, we ensure your pet receives consistent love, supervision, and comfort every day.

A typical day

Your dog will enjoy a balanced day filled with exercise, enrichment, and relaxation. We’re located near Walker Middle School with access to large open fields for safe, on-leash play and exploration. Just minutes from Wallace Marine Park, we also enjoy scenic trails and wooded paths for longer walks and new scents to discover. From fetch in the field to calm evening strolls, your pet will stay active, engaged, and happy throughout their stay.

Your pet’s comfort, safety, and individuality matter to us. Each dog enjoys a designated space and access to a secure, supervised play area. Because every pet is unique, we ask for details about behavior, health needs, routines, and quirks ahead of time—ensuring we provide truly personalized care. We welcome dogs of all breeds and backgrounds and are committed to earning your trust through clear communication, transparency, and compassionate attention.
