He tends
to a pair of Kessler Park Shelties who spin when they see a bus drive by, walks
a Lakewood Yorkie who prefers to balance on street curbs, and checks on a
Highland Park cat who greets him by pawing his left shoe. There’s someone out
there who pays as much attention to your pet’s idiosyncrasies as you do? I’ve
witnessed it firsthand, as Pet Home Pal owner Patrick Phelan cares for our two
zany German Shorthaired Pointers while we’re away. Phelan will walk ($20 for
30-minutes), feed, and chauffeur your animal (cat, dog, turtle, you name it),
and also offer home checks ($15) or overnight stays ($70). His service is
perfect for those who can’t leave their Crescent Court office to relieve a
Teacup Poodle, or for someone needing Whippets walked while they’re flying down
a slope in Aspen. It's well worth the showering of affection Fifi will receive,
as well as the absence of a shower on your favorite Aubusson rug. 214.418.8994;
