Pet care experience
I set up my own dog walking and pet sitting business in September 2019, after 3 years of working in the pet retail sector and earning an advanced apprenticeship in Animal Care and Welfare. I also have experience caring for my own small animals and cats and other peoples dogs for more than 10 years, so not only can I walk and care for your pets, I can also offer nutrition and enrichment advice, helping you care for your pets even after I’m gone! Before starting my dog walking and pet sitting business full time, I worked in an independent pet shop, overseeing their small animal boarding centre, as well as helping out with dog grooming, and working on the shop floor, assisting customers in making informed decisions about the perfect food, apparel and toys/enrichment items for their pets. So while you’re off working or enjoying yourself on holiday, you can rest assured that your dog, cat or other pet is in great hands. I love all animals, and always look forward to meeting new people and pets!
Reviews
Philippa is extremely reliable and caring and has endless energy and patience with our energetic puppy. She does 1 hour drop in sessions which involve a mixture of play, training and short walk (age appropriate). She's very friendly, calm and knowledgeable about dogs and our puppy really looks forward to her visits. We're really glad to have found her and I would recommend her without reservation.
Philippa has been a great find for us. She's full of useful information to help with our new pup, friendly and flexible.
We are very pleased with the service that Phillipa provides. She is proactive in making contact to ensure that she has all the information that she needs before dog sitting. We arrived home from our break knowing that Peggy had been very well looked after, regularly exercised and had received lots of cuddles. Phillipa treated our home with respect and we are able to relax and enjoy our holiday knowing Peggy is in very capable hands.
Philippa has been a great help to our family. She always arrives promptly, is very caring with our, rather large, dog! walks him, cleans up after him and then brings him back as planned. She is very confident with animals, and often brings treats for Charlie! She is a kind girl who has now become a babysitter and family friend too.

I’m currently self employed, doing dog walking and cat sitting full time, and I’m looking to expand the cat sitting side of my business as that’s a part that I really enjoy and don’t get to do enough of!
