Reliable & Trustworthy. Former dog & cat owner

Pet care experience

Playing fetch on my own is starting to get boring... I'm an all round animal lover, with tonnes of experience from BorrowMyDoggy and past pet ownership, who is now working remotely full time (long term, so I won't suddenly become unavailable when offices re-open) and looking to have an animal pal around the house that will get me out for interesting walks and fun activities. I live in a 3 bed terraced house in Holgate, York right next to Westgate Park and Hob Moor, so there's plenty of space to run around and play fetch in a safe spot. I'm also open to working from your home if WiFi is available and providing your pet company throughout the day. I've grown up with dogs, cats and horses in the family, some placid, some mad, so I have a spectrum of experience! I work in digital marketing for a range of charities, including a couple of animal rehoming charities so I actually have a good network of advice I can call upon. My partner also grew up with animals, did work experience at a veterinary practice, and her mother was a vet before retiring too. My day is flexible which means I can make loads of quality time for your animal buddy!

Phil was extremely helpful and very communicative. We immediately felt comfortable leaving our little boy with him. He helped us at a very short notice and kept us updated during the day. Our puppy is super tired now and he clearly had a fantastic day!

Phil and Gem were brilliant. Communication was fab in the run up. They were kind, gentle and welcoming just what our rather nervous Cockapoo Honey needed. They sent us a reassuring photo and message in the morning to set our minds at rest and even gave some great tourist information. Couldn't have asked for more. Many thanks guys.

Phil looked after my terrier, George, for 3 days in his home and although I'm fairly new to using Rover everything went extremely well and I've no hesitation in repeat bookings when I need a sitter.

Phil is caring and compassionate, with a genuine love for all animals. Having grown up with rescued dogs, Phil is confident around their individual needs. He is dedicated, trustworthy and reliable, I couldn’t think of anyone better to look after my dog.

No breed preferences. Does your dog have any behavioural or dietary needs that we should know about - it's better to be prepared for them than surprised by them

A typical day

I live right next to Haggerston Park, and a short walk from Victoria Park, bit are great spots for dogs. For older dogs, or dogs who can't be off leads or around other dogs, there's a large green opposite our flat which is a great space
