Your pets safety and happiness is my priority

I’ve had many years of experience with dogs having owned 10 myself over the years from terriers, spaniels, collies to a German shepherd Labrador and staffie. I would look after your dog with the same love and dedication as I did my own . I have been boarding and walking other peoples dogs for some time now.It is always a pleasure-each dog is special in their own way and I love getting to know their personalities . I get a great sense of pride when I hand them back to their families knowing I have given them a happy time and that I have kept them safe well exercised and stimulated during their stay.

Safety, trust & environment

I recently lost my beloved collie at the age of 15 who lived happily with me in my ground floor flat which is right next door to the main entrance so going in and out for wees and walkies is no problem at all. There is a small park nearby for short walks but lots of fab places in and around Swinley forest and lily hill park for longer walkies with interesting smells and places to roam and explore. My collie had anxiety and trust issues so I have experience with this and have the patience calm approach and understanding when it comes to dogs with similar anxieties.

Pippa is conscientious and caring. The boys were very happy on our return. She seemed to manage our anxious boy well and our other naughty boy well too.

Pippa has just looked after Freddie for a week and I can highly recommend her. Fred suffers from separation anxiety and if I'm honest, I do too. I don't like leaving him and worry that he'll be unhappy while we are away enjoying ourselves. I wanted him to stay at home in familiar surroundings so Pippa stayed here. Well, I didn't need to worry. Pippa is lovely. I got a good feeling about her when we first met for a walk with Fred and he liked her too. She visited again to go through his routine. So it was nice for him to see her again. She asked all of the right questions and has lots of doggy experience. I actually think that now we are home he is missing her, waiting for her to come back. He got lots of fun walks and snuggles, the best care and must have been in heaven as she let him sleep on the bed with her too! Each day I received reassuring updates and pictures. The house was very well cared for too and she even washed the bedding. I really won't worry about going away again if Pippa is free which is a good feeling. Hugest thanks Pippa from us all and Freddie xxx

Pippa was great! She looked after our dogs as if they were her own, sending regular updates and taking them on daily walks. She also led our house in immaculate for our return. Five stars all round!

Philippa did such a lovely job looking after our golden retriever Bruno. We received regular updates and her communication throughout was brilliant. She followed all the instructions and requests exactly as given and left the house very clean. We were really pleased with the care and effort she gave Bruno and will definitely be rebooking! Thanks again Philippa !
