Hello Rover! I have worked with Phylis at Cozy Inn Pet Resort for 3 years. I love Phylis! She is the person who trained me and I am grateful for that because I learned (and continue to learn) so much from her. She knows and loves dogs and it is a privilege to any dog parent to have their pet in her care. At work we call her “The Energizer Bunny” because she is in such amazing shape and so full of energy that she can outdo all of us- even the teenagers. She is also just a wonderful human being aside from work. An asset to anyone who employees her and a blessing to anyone lucky enough to call her a friend.

I volunteered with Phyllis at the Humane Animal Rescue League of Pittsburgh. Through her years of experience with walking dogs she was trusted to work with dogs that were timid, shy and anxious, as well as dogs that had dog reactivity, strong dogs that still needed training to walk comfortably on a leash, and dogs that would become overstimulated on walks. I also trust Phyllis to watch and walk my own dogs, one who experiences dog reactivity on walks and can be challenging to walk due to her triggers. She is also a resource guarder and needs special attention during feeding times and whenever providing treats. Phyllis utilizes positive reinforcement to encourage preferred behavior and respects and loves dogs. She also checks in on our cats when we are out of town and has experience administering oral medication to one of my cats. I would recommend Phyllis to care for your animal family members. Their experience with her will be loving, positive, safe, and enriching.
