I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Philippa for over 20 years, and throughout that time she has been a truly valued friend. We both own horses and have spent countless hours riding together, exploring the countryside on hacks both near and far. Her experience with animals, particularly horses, is extensive, and she brings a calm confidence to every situation. Philippa has always been my first call whenever I’ve had any issues or concerns with my own horses—especially in those inevitable moments of urgency that come with animal care. She is steady, unflappable, and approaches every situation with a level head and practical mindset. Her calm and trustworthy nature makes her incredibly reliable, and it’s something animals seem to instinctively respond to and feel at ease with. In addition to horses, we are both dog and cat owners, and regularly walk our dogs together. Philippa is wonderfully easy-going, kind, and generous with her time—nothing is ever too much trouble for her. I would have complete confidence in her ability to care for any pets as if they were her own. I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to recommend Philippa to anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate, and capable pet sitter. You can trust that your beloved animals will be in very safe and caring hands.
