Pet care experience
Your Pet’s New Best Friend!
Hi, I’m Phillip! A Calm, Caring, and Detail-Oriented Pet Sitter You Can Trust. As a cybersecurity analyst by day and a devoted pet parent always, I bring a uniquely reliable, attentive presence to your pet’s care. I understand how important peace of mind is when you’re away from your furry family, and that’s exactly what I provide—through clear communication, safety-first practices, and genuine compassion. I’ve cared for animals with special needs, including senior dogs, anxious dogs, dogs with medical needs, and overweight cats. I always tailor my approach to an animal’s comfort and personality. Whether it’s playtime, structured walks, medication routines, or simply quiet companionship, I show up with presence and purpose. Working from home gives me flexibility to provide consistent care, and my calm demeanor helps even the most skittish pets feel at ease. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like their own - with responsibility, patience, and love - you’ve found your guy. Let’s meet! I’d love to hear about your pet’s routine and how I can help.

Safety, trust & environment
With three large dogs and two cats of my own, each with their own unique quirks and personalities, I understand the importance of routine, structure, and situational awareness when it comes to animal care. I use clear boundaries, mental stimulation, and daily structure to help keep my pets healthy, engaged, and thriving, and I bring that same energy into every pet I care for. Because my home is already full of furry personalities, I provide services exclusively away from my home, with few exceptions. This allows me to give your pets my full attention in their familiar environment, where they’re most comfortable. I’m highly tuned in to body language and energy levels during playtime, especially with reactive or high energy animals, and I take a calm, confident approach to walks and hikes even in busy areas. I’m also experienced managing medical routines and special care needs, from daily meds to meal plans and behavioral support. You can trust that your pets are safe, supported, and genuinely cared for with me.
Ratings and reviews
Thomas did a fantastic job taking care of my dog! He was communicative, reliable, and sent great updates that gave me total peace of mind. I came home to my dog happy and well cared for. I will absolutely book with Thomas again and highly recommend him! 😊
My dog loves Phillip! All dogs love Phillip! You and your pets will love him too. He most recently helped us by making sure our pup made it home safely from our wedding ceremony. Phillip drove him home and spent some time with him to help him unwind after a day of crazy and hectic festivities. Phillip is thoughtful, diligent, kind, reliable, and knowledgeable, and we were so glad for his help on our big day!
11/10! Having Phillip watch my dogs gives me the ultimate peace of mind. He can handle big dogs (x2 100lb-ers!) as well as my mischievous, slightly reactive puppy. He is kind, responsible, empathetic, and very knowledgeable about animals.
I can give Phillip an unqualified recommendation to be anyone's pet sitter and dog walker. He has a natural connection with animals and a genuine love for what everything he does. Besides being an owner of a few rescue animals, he is very caring to them and all the 'friends' they meet at the park, neighborhood streets, or hiking trails. Phillip is incredibly reliable, communicative, and always goes the extra mile to make sure pets are not only cared for but truly happy. Whether it's a long walk, playtime, or just cuddles with them, I know my pet is in the best hands. I always come home to a relaxed, well-exercised, and happy animal. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and professional, Phillip is exactly who you want caring for your pets. He will be much more than a pet sitter or dog walker—he may very well become a new friend to you.
Thomas loves dogs. He often fosters and takes care of elderly dogs and gives them lots of love. He is a reliable person who can be counted on to care for your animals.

Schedule
I work fully remote in cybersecurity, which means my schedule is wide open throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, or extended stays. Because my work only requires a laptop, your pets won’t be left alone or wondering when their next potty break or play session is coming. I can adapt easily to your pet’s routine - whether they need a midday walk, companionship throughout the workday, or a little extra patience and care. This flexibility also means I’m available for last-minute bookings and can accommodate pets with special needs or structured routines. Your pet gets consistent care, attention, and love without the stress of a rigid schedule.
