When caring for cats in their own D.C. homes, my priority is to maintain their established routine and ensure their comfort and security within their familiar environment.

🏳️‍🌈 DC cat lover here to help!

Pet care experience

From childhood, I've been surrounded by and caring for various pets, gaining a broad understanding of their diverse needs. While I have experience with dogs, my more recent focus and passion lie with feline companions. Having cared for two cats throughout my life, and currently being a dedicated cat parent to Jack here in Washington, D.C., I have a strong understanding of their unique personalities, behaviors, and care requirements. You can be confident that I will provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment tailored to your cat's individual needs.

Phil was probably the best rover I have ever had! He was very communicative and his updates were thorough and fun to read! He also did a great job keeping things tidy which I appreciated. My cat gets anxious when I’m away and she doesn’t get enough attention but I could tell she had been well cared for when I returned. Would be happy to have Phil care for my cat again!

Phillip was great! We had a meet and greet prior to the booking and my cat Bailey warmed up to him quickly. I felt very comfortable leaving Bailey in Phillip's care for the weekend I was away. Phillip was quick to respond to my messages and provided great updates, pictures, and videos. I highly recommend hiring Phillip to take care of your fur baby 😻.
