Pet care experience
ELITE CARE | ABOVE & BEYOND SITTING
My goal is to provide the most complete and seamless house-sitting experience possible: happy, settled dogs, a secure and carefully looked-after home, dependable communication throughout, and everything thoughtfully handled before you return. This is my full-time professional business, not casual or passive pet sitting. Since starting, I have maintained a 5-star rating across every reviewed booking, achieved Rover Star Sitter status and completed every accepted stay with 0 cancellations. I accept one family at a time, so your dogs, their familiar routines and your home receive my complete attention. This service is designed for families who genuinely want the best experience and prioritise quality, reliability and peace of mind over simply finding the lowest-priced sitter. Designed by a dog parent, for dog parents I share my life with Harper, my very pampered Cockapoo princess, so I understand how much trust is involved when leaving a much-loved dog behind. I also have genuine day-to-day ownership experience with a highly reactive rescue dog. I understand managing triggers, adapting walks, reading body language, protecting routines and allowing trust to develop without forcing interaction. This experience shapes how I care for rescue, reactive, nervous and shy dogs. I am also experienced with senior dogs, medication and dogs needing additional patience or more attentive care. A smooth experience from beginning to end I travel across Kent, Surrey and Sussex for suitable bookings. Before each stay, I check in again shortly before you leave so routines, medication, security and final details are completely clear. I arrive in good time for a calm handover and remain until you return home, including late-night or early-hours arrivals. During every booking, I provide regular photographs, videos and dependable updates, while carefully following your dogs’ normal feeding, walking, sleeping and medication routines. My care is calm, highly involved and built around each dog as an individual. I remain overnight, pay close attention to home security and make sure everything is left clean, tidy and properly reset for your return. More than the average house sitter I am not a passive sitter who simply feeds the dogs and waits for the booking to finish. Alongside dog care, I bring professional gardening and practical DIY skills. When appropriate and time allows, I am happy to help with gardening, painting, pressure washing, cleaning or small household jobs at no additional charge. Previous Families have returned to freshly painted walls and steps, tidier gardens, cleaned patios and spotless homes. I know how quickly normal life begins again after a holiday, so I prefer to be proactive and leave families with less to worry about. Your dogs will always remain my first priority. Every completed stay also includes a complimentary custom portrait of your dog—one final personal touch to make the experience genuinely memorable. My aim is simple: for your dogs to feel safe and settled, your home to remain secure and respected, and for you to return feeling that everything was handled to the highest possible standard. My service is designed for families who want complete peace of mind and an experience that goes beyond ordinary house sitting. I’d love to meet you and your dogs at a free meet-and-greet.

Ratings and reviews
Phill did a great job looking after our two dogs. Pre our holiday Phil came and met dogs and then stopped in again just before we left. On the day of our departure Phil came early to ensure all set. Dogs warmed to him straight away and that includes our rescue who can be tricky with some people and especially men. Daily updates, comms and pictures sent throughout our 2 week holidays. Not only did Phil do a great job with the dogs but kept himself busy doing some painting around the house and in the garden painting our walls and steps which was great as jobs that have been meaning to do and now all done! All without asking Phil to do. House was also very clean with Phil doing a clean before we got home. Despite getting home in the early hours Phil stayed and waited for us to get home to make sure all good! We will definitely use Phil again and would recommend!


Phil was incredibly punctual, very polite, and did a great job with our dog. I’d recommend him!

Well what can I say we had never used a dog/cat/ house sitter before but Phillip was first class he put us at ease straight away and Alvis our Labrador was immediately happy with him and seemed to have an instant connection.Phillip sent us daily updates with photos or short videos which was lovely and we could tell Alvis was a happy dog. When we returned home Phillip had not only cleaned the house but had stripped his bedding and placed in the washing machine, he had also done a couple of small jobs in the garden without being asked. We would definitely use Phillip again and would happily recommend him to anybody looking for a first class dog/ house sitter
Phillip made the process really easy from start to finish. He helped us out with a late booking and responded to all messages really quickly. Phillip came round to meet us and put me at ease immediately. He was great with our rescue dog; she can be a bit tricky with men at first, but he has experience with rescue dogs and won her over. We had daily updates from Phillip about the animals and the bits he was doing to help us, such as weeding our garden and even jet-washing the patio. He has also made my daughter some lovely artwork of all our animals. We came home to a clean and tidy house and our animals have clearly been looked after. We will use Phillip again and would recommend him.
Phil looked after Max & Merlot incredibly well! They didn’t even seem to want to leave when I came to collect them yesterday and just carried on wanting to play at his with all the toys he has for them! I got lots of beautiful photos and updates and Phil even went to the effort of making some fun digital photos of these two as well! Would highly recommend and definitely use myself again!


Our boy Horus had the best day with Phillip and Harper. Phillip kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout the day and it was clear to see Horus was very comfortable and happy with Phillip. I would absolutely recommend Phillip (and the lovely Harper of course). Thank you for taking such good care of our pup! :)
