From Phil…

The only thing better than meeting and visiting my new pet friends is the privilege of meeting and coming to know their owners. All of these folks love their pet family…just as you and I do. They're Johnny's and my kind of people - they truly love animals.

Several of them have been kind enough to offer to tell you how they feel about the quality of professional care and service performed by Phil's Pet Sitting Service. I am both flattered and appreciative that they have chosen to do so.

Being an Island Girl (born and raised in Hilo, Hawaii), I would like to say "Mahalo Nui Loa" (Thank You Very Much) to these pet parents, who have taken the time to share their thoughts and feelings on this page.

I am honored that they have chosen me to care for their pet family, and I will always be indebted to them for their enthusiastic support and assistance.

Personally, I do not consider any of my clients as "clients". I think of them more as friends…

I can't begin to tell you what a blessing it was to find Phil to take care of our pets. I have three dogs (each a handful to take care of). One, however, is blind, diabetic, has Cushing's syndrome, and requires an extra special level of care. Despite his misfortune he enjoys his life and is able to return our love on a daily basis.

After my pet sitter of five years moved to another state, I was devastated. It would be difficult to find another person who would administer insulin shots, and more importantly provide our special needs dog with that extra love and care he deserved. My husband and I, once used to taking weekend trips, stayed home every weekend. There was no one we could trust to take care of our dogs. After months and months of searching, we found Phil.

When Phil first met my dogs I could tell she was an animal lover. She immediately connected with them. And when I saw the compassion in her eyes as she bonded with our special needs dog, I knew she was the right caregiver. Today, my husband and I are once again enjoying our weekend trips, and enjoying them with the peace of mind that our pets are in wonderful, loving, and responsible hands.

My animals - 2 horses, 2 puppy dogs, and 1 cat - are part of my family. When I have had to leave town, I wanted my animals – especially my horses - to stay at home with each other and have someone come over and take care of them, to minimize their stress. It's always been a challenge to find someone who will take care of them in a way that's familiar and comfortable to them. Usually the person finds the horses to be "too much trouble" and the routine is revised to make it easier on the pet sitter and stressful for my animals.

I found Phil and Johnny's card and called them. I was extremely impressed with their attention to detail and their genuine concern for each animal, and each one's idiosyncrasies, not to mention their genuine love of animals. For the first time, I was able to leave town knowing my "babies" were truly being cared for. Phil went by to check on my mare, Pemberly, several times due to concerns she had and Johnny spent extra time with Hummer, my cat, and brushed the horses frequently. Also, for the first time, my horses were happy when I returned home.

Phil and Johnny are extraordinary people and we are fortunate to have them to help make our animals' lives that much better. They have become all of our friends and we highly recommend them to anyone who would like someone to come care for, play with, and talk to their animals in a loving manner at home where they are the happiest. The service they provide to our animals is priceless and it doesn't take long to figure out they are not caring for animals for the money, but for the love of them.

We personally enjoy the "lunchtime special" from Phil's Pet Sitting Service. When we began our search for someone to walk our boxer mid-day, the most important factors were experience and a love for animals. Johnny and Phil have exemplified these qualities in the care of our boxer. They have demonstrated 100 percent dependable and compassionate care to our beloved family member from day one. Johnny and Phil have earned our highest recommendation.

Phil and Johnny are excellent pet sitters. They care about our two dogs as much (if not more!) than we do. They pay great attention to the detailed instructions we give them and are very trustworthy people with not only our dogs but also our home. We have asked them for a pet sit on short notice on several occasions and they always seem to find a way to help us out. We really appreciate the personal touch they bring to taking care of our dogs and it is easy to see they enjoy what they do and have a genuine affection for all animals.
