Would recommend 100% Phillippa to look after your cats. She loves cats, communication is fantastic and our cats appeared to have not even known we had gone, she sent us photos and updates throughout our trip.

Not happy at all. Have raised a dispute with cat in a flat. Im still on holiday whilst writing this review so haven't seen the state my house is in yet. Issues started right from the beginning, no agreed time schedule, didnt ask for vet details (sent off my own back on the day I was leaving) didnt ask for permission but said she would be applying for jobs at my house on her laptop the day before the visit starts.. was strange but bit late for me to say no so sent her the internet info. Throughout the week, I had to ask for photo updates for every visit as she wasnt communicating very openly and I had no idea what time she was getting there each day or how long she was staying for. She agreed to bring in a parcel of dry cat food, she said its not there but theres a time stamp and a picture of delivery (she would have been in my house at the time) she thought my visits ended 3 days before they were scheduled and paid for. This was was very concerning and didnt fill me with confidence. I had to ask her to check the order. Ive been worried about what she's been doing in my house and if she actually turned up at all for the agreed visits. Really disappointed and as she is one of the most expensive on this app, I wouldn't recommend her. The price does not match the service. Havent enjoyed my holiday due to the worry. Use someone else instead!

Very happy with Pippa looking after our elderly cat. Pippa gave us regular updates which gave us reassurance that our cat was well looked after while we were away and we returned to a relaxed and happy cat.

Pippa has been the most amazing cat sitter for us. Our last holiday was a long one and Pippa visited every day, providing updates and communicating so well to ensure my cat was relaxed and happy until our return. We have a very shy cat and Pippas gentle approach allowed her to slowly develop a trusting relationship with my cat. Thank you Pippa!

Im so happy that Pippa looked after Pusscat. She was great at keeping in contact and ensuring that Pusscat had her special diet and medication. It was great to see photos of Pusscat looking happy. I felt relaxed knowing Pippa is 100% reliable. Im look forward to booking her again in the future. Thank you Pippa 😊

Schedule

I currently work from home 4 days a week and my work is flexible, allowing me to fit a walk into my daily schedule. I’m available weekends as well. My five year old would join us for walks at weekends, but she is more than capable of a two hour walk (we regularly do the deer park route around Attingham, and this is 4miles).

Cats
0 to 7 kg
7 to 18 kg
Dogs over 1 year old
Philippa can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
I have a five year old daughter so if it’s weekend care, I will often have her with me. I’d therefore like to pre-meet at a time where she can meet your pet too, to ensure they get on ok, before any housesits or walks are arranged. She loves all animals, is very gentle with cats and has experience of rescues - understanding it’s on their terms and that they need a little more patience. Due to my daughter’s age I wouldn’t take on dogs larger than a Labrador, or any particularly bouncy/young pups.
