I'm Philippa, a professional and caring surrogate, aka "favourite auntie", for your canine loved ones.  Whether it be for an early afternoon walk, daycare or home boarding whilst you're either at work or play or away on your hols, I'm here to help.  I have been around dogs most of my life and simply adore them!  I started up Woofas in 2007 and getting to know all the different dogs and learning about their various personalities, favourite things and odd whims gives me great joy and they make me smile every day.  

​

Your dog will be walked/looked after by me personally (I'm not one of the "conveyor belt" companies) with the utmost diligence and TLC, and you can rest assured that I will treat your dog as if they were my own.  Along with exercise, playtime, cuddles and downtime I provide calm and fair discipline when necessary alongside basic reward-based training for those still needing to refine their manners.

I now solely walk and look after pooches on the small to medium end of the spectrum.

​

Your dog should be neutered (unless under 9 months old or for medical reasons) and he/she must be good around other dogs so we can keep harmony in the pack.  All newbies will need to come on a trial walk with us to ensure they are happy and get on with the group.

​

Vaccinations and flea treatments must be up-to-date (the kennel-cough vaccine is also encouraged).

​

I'm fully insured by specialists Cliverton and, although covered to walk up to a maximum of 6 dogs at any one time, I generally set the limit at 4.  For daycare and boarding I take in up to a maximum of 4 dogs at a time but it's rarely more than 2 or 3.
