Philippa & Dan looked after Bruce’s pets & home
Philippa is an incredibly responsible and caring individual. She is considerate to a fault and I would feel at complete ease trusting her with my most valuable possessions. She is organised, tidy, and proactive about keeping her own home in immaculate condition. Further to that, Philippa is extremely caring, and an animal lover. She has had and cared for a variety of pets growing up, and comes from family of animal lovers that has had dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters, fish, etc. I would fully trust Philippa to look after my house and pets, and would go away with my mind completely at ease. You would struggle to find a better person for the job, I would recommend her to anyone!
