Pet care experience

Continuity with care and love.

I was born an animal lover and have enriched my lifelong passion with many furry family members and friends. Neighbors, family and friends have repeatedly entrusted me with their pets to care for them in their absence. I have decades of experience caring for and training a wide variety of animals, big and small - from gerbils to horses and nearly everything in between. I have raised, shown and trained dogs of many sizes and personalities. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds and enjoy getting to know every dog I meet. My background and interactions with your pets will help you to feel comfortable knowing I'll continue to care for them in the same manner as you with the same love as if they are my own.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I diligently follow all instructions to ensure continuity of care and training while spending quality time closely monitoring pets. We go outside together to exercise and have some fun. I am very in tune with pet behaviors enabling me to recognize and address changes. I am also very experienced administering a variety of medications and special diets/feeding so meeting special needs is not a problem. From puppies to seniors, and everywhere in between, I understand how to meet needs based on each animals stage in their lives. You can count on this experience and detailed updates to help you feel secure in knowing your pet is in excellent care.

Phyllis was amazing! She took perfect care of our cat, sent thorough updates, and kept the house in order while we were away. We will absolutely use her in the future whenever we can!

Phyllis provided outstanding care for our cat. If in the future we need cat care we would not hesitate to have Phyllis take care of our pet.

Phyllis went above and beyond in taking care of our pup, Jax. She showed lots of love and care and always made sure Jax got his playtime. Even though I had mentioned not worrying about going on walks, Phyllis took Jax out for a nice walk almost every day, which no other previous sitter has done so that really stood out to me. Her daily reports kept us up to date while we were traveling abroad for 2 weeks. I would definitely recommend Phyllis to watch over your fur babies and will be using her for any upcoming trips!

Phyllis works well with my dog even though she can be a little sassy. I appreciate her patience and making sure my dog is taken care of. I highly recommend her.

What is a typical day -- i.e., what/when do they eat, are there medications to administer, any behavioral issues to watch out for and redirect, do they like to play, prefer just to chill, are they a cuddler, do they sleep in bed, are they allowed on furniture -- I want to know it all.
