I am at home most of the day except when I'm at the gym in the morning, my daily routine is flexible so I always have time for walks and I'm often in the garden or doing chores around the house, under the watchful eyes of your pet!

Information Philip f. would like to know about your pet

I need to know about medication if its required, whether the dog is reactive or friendly, feeding times and what's on the menu, where they sleep and of course how many treats their allowed.

A typical day

I have lovely woodland walks on my doorstep with lots to see and smell. I play ball or tug in the garden and have a plastic ball that can be filled with kibble to be nosed around for the treats.

Location

Bury St. Edmunds, United Kingdom

Philip f.'s Neighborhood

I love dogs and never want to be without them.

Pet care experience

I'm retired and can give your pet virtually 24hr care. I'm an avid walker and will take your pet on lovely woodland walks and visits to country estates, beach etc. I have owned my own dogs for the past 30 years but am currently without one, hosting dogs allows me to enjoy, fuss and soil even more.

Poppy had a wonderful stay with Philip. We had very regular updates as to what she was up to. She had everything she could want (walks, cuddles, sofas) and lots of attention. Thank you for giving Pops a lovely holiday while we were away :-)

Bentley had a great stay, Philip kept us updated regularly so always felt relaxed that he was ok and settled. Bentley had plenty of exercise with long walks and a trip to the dog park. Would definitely recommend and use again. Many thanks

Our dog Roo was very well taken care of by Philip. We received many photos and videos of her on walks or playing in the dog park every day. Philip was also extremely helpful and flexible when our flights were canceled and our pickup time was delayed. I would not hesitate to send Roo back to Philip for any time we travel.

Philip was absolutely brilliant looking after my greyhound, Coco. She came home very calm and settled after her stay. He took her on some really nice walks and sent plenty of photo updates, which was very reassuring. Philip and his wife have a lovely home and it was clear Coco felt comfortable there. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again and would happily recommend him to others. Thank you very much!!
