We could not recommend Philippa (and her family) more highly. We came home to find three extremely happy dogs who had all obviously been given excellent care and attention. Gertie and Tarka had loved long walks whilst Strudel our 14 week old puppy could not have asked for more patience and affection. I don't think any of them had missed us for one moment!The house looked immaculate when we came back and all sheets and towels had been washed. We can't wait to go on holiday again!

Philippa and Sebastian came to stay while I was away over the Xmas period. As this was my first experieranve trusted house sitters I had no idea what to expect. I had no worries from the moment they arrived. Fabulously organised- I left with complete confidence that my home and dogs were in safe hands. I was not disappointed she kept me updated wth pictures of my very spoiled girls and when I returned home all was clean and tidy. Sheets washed, bed remade dog beds washed she even left flowers. Would highly recommend

I have known Philippa and Sebastian since their days as hoteliers in Devon, I can recommend them without reservation. On several occasions we have invited them to use our weekend cottage in Dorset where they looked after it as if it was their own, leaving it immaculately tidy and laundered to perfection. You can entrust your property, and pets, to their safe hands with full confidence

Philippa has looked after our Barn conversion and animals previously whilst we were away for several weeks abroad. We have dogs, cats and rabbits which all required time and consideration and they were very well looked after.

We found Philippa to be extremely trustworthy, reliable very clean and tidy and would definitely have her to house sit again. Highly recommended.
