Philip is absolutely lovely, and you can immediately tell how much he genuinely loves dogs. I felt extremely comfortable leaving Agnes with him, which means so much to us. From the updates, it looked like they had such a great time together with lots of walks and playtime, and his communication throughout was fantastic. We’ll definitely be leaving Aggie with Philip again. Thank you so much, Philip, for taking such wonderful care of Agnes! 🤍

Doggy Day Care • Sep 08, 2026

Philip was absolutely fantastic with Nala! Communication was quick and easy, and when I received all the photos at the end of the day, it was so lovely to see just how happy and settled she looked\. She genuinely looked like she’d had the best day\! It was clear from the photos that Nala had been well cared for and thoroughly enjoyed herself\. **She came home happy and content, which is exactly what you want when leaving your dog with someone new\.** I’d 100% recommend Philip and would definitely book with him again\!

Philip has always been absolutely amazing with my dogs, and I couldn’t recommend him and his wife highly enough. He has cared for my rescue dog, who was an American Bulldog/Staffy cross. He was a big, strong boy with some social issues and could be quite challenging at times, but Philip always handled him with so much patience, respect and, most importantly, genuine love. He took the time to understand his personality and needs and always made sure he felt safe, comfortable and cared for. I have always felt completely at ease leaving my dogs in Philip’s care. Whether we were going away on holiday or simply needed some help, I never had any worries because I knew they were in the best possible hands. It’s clear that Philip genuinely loves animals and treats every dog as an individual rather than just another dog he is looking after. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Philip to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring and reliable to look after their dog. Knowing that your dog is happy, safe and genuinely loved while you’re away is priceless, and that is exactly what Philip provides.
