I am currently pursuing a masters degree here and am primarily taking classes from home. My research schedule is very flexible and project based so I can make time for animal needs throughout the days, nights, and weekends.

Information Philippa P. would like to know about your pet

Routine can be important when you’re away from your pet and I want to know what a day or week is like when you’re together. Diet and exercise routines or no routine, I’m open. I am comfortable with special needs, and would love to know whether your pet is food focused, likes cuddles or space, how they behave when on walks and with other animals. Favourite toys! I want to get to know your pet, let’s meet :)

A typical day

I want to know all about your pet and what they like to do. I love walks on Hampstead Heath, I have several green spaces near me. I am happy to take older animals slower or just out for a book on a blanket. I’ll play and run with active pups and am happy to take special requests. Let me know what you like to do together!

Pet care experience

I have always had animals in my life. I have taken care of dogs, cats, birds, turtles, monkeys and more. I have had pets myself and have been a trusted sitter for friends, family, and gig services like Rover. I have been a dog walker in the USA and moved to London a year ago and am ready to get to know the pets in the city. EDIT: I have been here 4 years now and have gotten to know some fantastic animals and am thrilled to be continuing on pet sitting. I am up for dog walks, baths, overnights, and all interaction, just let me know what you need and I'm sure we can work it out! Thanks for reading, can't wait to get to know your animal family.

I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with Philippa. I found her at a time when my Frenchie had a slipped disc in his neck and needed a lot of attentive and loving care and Philippa gave him just that during my time away. Her frequent communication, updates, and photos eased my anxiety about leaving my dog while he was vulnerable, and she was great at giving him his oral meds on a schedule and with food, and with getting him to eat properly, which can be difficult for us even as his owners. She also kept him calm and resting which was important for his recovery. Philippa left our apartment nice and clean and was an absolute gem to work with. We will definitely be working with Philippa in the future!

Philippa was a wonderful dog sitter! She did a meet and greet with our dog and easily picked up on her routine with little explanation needed. She stayed with our dog for about two weeks, and she sent many updates and photos that kept us at ease. She took wonderful care of our dog and home, and I would absolutely rebook her without hesitation!

Phillipa was excellent and won over our rescue dog immediately I couldn’t recommend her more highly

This was my very first time using a sitter, as Poppy has only ever stayed with a few close friends before—so I was quite nervous. But I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience than the one we had with Philippa. She followed Poppy’s routine perfectly, made sure her days felt completely normal, and kept the house in spotless condition. She even picked up a huge delivery of Poppy’s cooked meals from the parcel room and neatly stored everything in the fridge! She kept me regularly updated, which gave me so much peace of mind. Poppy already misses her - she keeps checking the guest room to see if Philippa is still around! I’ll absolutely be booking again.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
