I am a passionate animal lover and share my home with a Labrador, a Belgian Malinois, rabbits, guinea pigs, a tortoise, and a parrot. I offer tailored home visits to meet the individual needs of all pets, including small animals, cats, dogs, and fish. I am fully insured, DBS checked, and hold a canine first aid qualification. When dogs are out with me, their movements are GPS tracked for added peace of mind. I am also experienced in administering medications, including insulin.

Safety, trust & environment

As a dog walker, I have experience handling large groups and packs, but I much prefer one-on-one walks. I believe solo walks allow dogs to get the most out of the experience and enable me to provide them with my undivided attention. Passionate about animal welfare, I treat every client’s pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own. For safety, all dogs are transported securely in travel crates.

Information Philippa T. would like to know about your pet

I am experienced in administering medication and providing care for dogs with medical conditions. I am also comfortable walking reactive dogs, drawing on my background working in kennels with long-term rescue residents who were more challenging to rehome.

A typical day

We’re fortunate to have a range of fantastic areas to explore locally, from Lee Valley to Northaw Great Woods. Each walk offers a unique experience, providing dogs with a variety of environments to enjoy and exercise in.

Pet care experience

My name is Pippa and I live in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire. I’m fortunate to have access to fantastic dog walking areas nearby, including Lee Valley Park and the woodlands in Cuffley. I have extensive experience working in both boarding and rescue kennels, where I developed a deep understanding of canine behavior, including reactivity and other behavioral challenges. During this time, I worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, honing my skills and passion for their care.

Philippa recently looked after our three cats while we were away. We would definitely book Philippa again. We had previously had a bad experience with a pet visitor and so the difference with Philippa was amazing. Everything was done meticulously, and the cat trays, feeding bowls and the house was sparkling clean when we returned and no smells (which we’ve had in the past). Our cats are all rescues so naturally nervous but they warmed to Philippa very quickly and they were all very happy and stress free on our return. I highly recommend Philippa to look after your fur babies!

Philippa was really lovely with our 2 cats. We booked for an hour each day as one of them is a kitten who needed extra fuss and attention, and our usual person could cover one of the feeding sessions needed each day. I was a little nervous as hadn’t used anything like this before, but I definitely will do so again. Philippa left a lovely summary of each visit and I looked forward to the update photos, which were great. I’d definitely recommend Philippa
