Phillip can care for

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs

Availability

As long as there is at least 24-48hr notification, I’m a pretty flexible person. Seven days a week I’d be available to drop in and say hi, play a little, feed and do potty breaks. Clean as I go to include litter boxes. If being asked to stay overnight, it would be at your location for the best comfort of the animal.

Safety, trust & environment

My house is a fenced in yard. We typically, based on weather, have my pups run outside once very 2/3 hours. Outside of that, we do regular walks up to 2 miles at least twice a week (again, based on weather). We play games like catch and hidden treat games for enrichment. For the family cat, he is currently maintained by one of my kids but, we allow him free roam and sometimes trips outside on a leash. He has a XXL dog kennel that we will set up when we are outside and he wants to join us to ensure he is bird safe. He very much likes to be a window watcher and enjoys the squirrels a little more than my dogs.

Retried Vet who loves animals

Pet care experience

When it comes to family pets, from tiny little munchkin cat breed all the way to Irish Wolfhound, they all deserve the love and respect as a extended family member (or sometime even as our own fur baby). Being raised around Chows and Aussie Shepards, I have experience in both “aggressive” and friendly breeds. A critter is only as bad as the owner.

Great sitter! He spent ample time with our 3 pitties and sent us photos each drop in so we didn't have to wonder how they were all doing or prompt a check in. We were able to have a fantastic stress free vacation and would love to rebook!

Phillip P. is a wonderful pet caregiver! Phillip is an attentive and kind pet caregiver: he ensured my dog, Zenni, was regularly walked, fed, watered, and was given lots of love and play. And Zenni loves Phillip too. She constantly wants to sit and get those hugs and ear scratches! Phillip is great with dogs and cats; but let me be honest, he would be a great pet caregiver for all pets. He has a kind and caring heart. I trust Phillip to provide excellent care for all my pets!
