Animal lover with flexible schedule

Pet care experience

*** I am currently taking a break from Rover due to adopting a second dog, I will return once he is trained. Thanks to any customers I have had and I hope to look after your pups again soon *** Hi, I’m a 33 year old who has recently been laid off from work as a trainee air traffic controller. I have a blind dog, 6 chickens and a rooster. I live on 2.5 acres of land, 5 mins west of St.Albert, with a 6ft fence surrounding the property. I am a lifelong animal lover and I volunteer at an animal sanctuary. I have had pets all of my life, growing up with spaniels and labradors. My partner grew up with German shepherds so he also has experience with big dogs. I am happy to take your pets for boarding or daycare. I allow pets on all of my furniture and treat them like family. They also have freedom to run around the fenced acreage if they’d like. I am very active so walk an hour plus every day, in all weathers, and can walk longer if your dog needs. I have experience testing diabetic pets, and giving insulin injections as needed. My cat was diabetic for just over 2 years. I have experience with blind pets, as my dog has been blind for 2 years too. For dog walking and house visits, I am free all day, and no walk is too long, if you want me to walk 10km, I will walk 10km! I have a vehicle and I am happy to drive to you, or have you drive to me. Whichever is most convenient. I feed my animals a raw diet, so I am happy to feed your pets raw, or any other diet they are used to. Feel free to message me with any special requests or questions you may have! I look forward to meeting your doggies and kitties!

Our little pitbull puppy loved another overnighter with her Aunty Phillipa and her cute furballs, Kevin and Derek. Dolly was well taken care of and Phillipa is so great with her many special needs. We fully trust our princess pitbull in Phillipa’s hands and Dolly can’t wait for her next sleepover!

Phillipa was the perfect dogsitter for our 5 month old pitbull Dolly. She cared for Dolly as if she was her furmomma and you can tell that she genuinely loves all animals! Dolly has a lot of energy, not great walking on a leash yet, and is a very picky eater. But Phillipa had no issues taking on her challenges and Dolly came back well fed and well exercised. We can’t wait to do it again and would not hesitate to recommend Phillipa to anyone. She was just awesome!

Absolutely brilliant. Our puppy had the most amazing time. Phillip was so loving and engaging with our puppy. Highly recommended. Phillipa will be the only person we will ever trust and look forward to leaving Mac with. Bo Burke-Scott

I will definitely be bringing Roman back! He had quite possibly, the funnest day of his little life. I was able to drop him off early in the morning and had a stress free day at work knowing he was in capable caring hands. Phillipa sent me picture updates throughout the day, on his walk, with his new fur friends and human friends; which makes any pet owner smile:) He’s a high energy dog and when I picked him up after work he was a very sleepy boi. I highly recommend Phillipa, she is amazing with pets and will be very loving with your fur baby!!

My only preference is that your pets are cat friendly. I also have free ranging chickens, but I am happy to have them confined to their run for the duration of your pets stay.

A typical day

I like to walk in the Edmonton river valley, along the sturgeon river, riverlot 56, chickakoo lake, elk island. Also have the run of 2.5 acres.
