Care for pets

68, BUSINESS MANAGER

As a pet lover do enjoy looking after dogs and cats having had my own. Importantly It is my endeavour to provide owners with peace of mind that their pets and home are been well cared for whilst they are away. In addition with do enjoy maintaining gardens.

In 2018 returned to Melbourne from the Sunshine Coast Queensland to work in freight forwarding and logistics management. March 2020 returned to Noosa. February 2022 back again in Melbourne to finally wind up business.
Currently am enjoying pet and house sitting again given my love for animals.
With COVID am fully vaccinated having had the boosters.

For 33 years resided at my Black Rock home, was the Coordinator of Bayside Neighbourhood Watch, in addition actively involved in many other local community activities.

Cleanliness and house security is most important to me.

May I welcome new opportunities with remaining most flexible to the locations.

We felt so secure having Philip minding our home and cat for this longer sit. He communicated well throughout and we had absolutely no worries or concerns. Coming home was a calm experience as everything was as we’d left it and there was some food in the fridge too. Yet again, a wonderful experience with Philip. Marley was very relaxed and happy as usual.

Philip looked after our house and our dog again and he was wonderful. Our dog loves the walks Philip takes him on! Communication always great. Thank you again!!!
 
SIMON (Parkdale VIC, Mar 2024 - 1 week 3 nights - 1 of 2 endorsements from this owner )
I would like to thank philip and highly recommend him for any house sit in the future. I had an unfortunate incident happen at my property the day before the scheduled house sit which was very stressful. After some consultation and consideration and conversations with Philip he kindly agreed to go ahead with the sit and helped out enormously with whatever was needed. He took wonderful care of my home and especially phoebe. She misses him already. He communicated nearly every day and because of ... MORE
 
HEATHER (Mount Waverley VIC, Feb 2024 - 1 week 3 nights)
Philip was a fabulous housesitter and really looked after our house as though it was his own. He cared for our small dog so well... taking him for his two walks a day and playing with him in between. I would have no hesitation in recommending Philip as a housesitter. He communicated with us almost every day during his stay.
 
JANET (Surrey Hills VIC, Feb 2024 - 5 nights)
We met Philip prior to the house sit, which was most helpful in getting to know him. Philip was easy to get along with and very respectful. Our puppy warmed to him immediately. He clearly loves animals. Philip ably looked after our home and pets during our 2 weeks holiday. He communicated regularly with us and assured us that things were being looked after in our absence, which gave us peace of mind on our holiday. We arrived home to a tidy house and happy pets.
 
FRAN (Woodend North VIC, Feb 2024 - 1 week 6 nights)
Philip was a great sitter, he was attentive and communicated well. We highly recommend him for peace of mind, knowing he will take care of things while away. Thanks again Philip.
 
LINDA (Woodend VIC, Jan 2024 - 1 week)
Thankyou Linda for your kind review. It was a pleasure caring for your pets.
Philip took care of our home & our dog while we were away. He kept in touch with text messages & we felt happy our home & pet were well looked after with him. Would highly recommend.
 
KIMBERLEY (Curlewis VIC, Jan 2024 - 4 nights)
Thanks for your kind review, maybe of future reference to a sitter should you go away again..
Philip was great to have as a sitter for our pet and house. Lily received regular walks and communication was good. I would be very happy to recommend Philip to those considering him for future housesits.
 
KIM (Highett VIC, Jan 2024 - 1 week 4 nights)
Phillip was wonderful! He took great care of our home and our dog, Alfie. Phillip was great with communication from the get go, giving us updates and photos most days. Thank you, Phillip!
 
SIMON (Parkdale VIC, Nov 2023 - 1 week 4 nights - 2 of 2 endorsements from this owner )
Philip took wonderful care of Rosie, my Jack Russell terrier. She is an active dog and he walked her three times a day, including to off leash ares. He also took very good care of my two bedroom apartment. I am sure that Rosie will miss him.
 
MARGIE (Brighton East VIC, Sep 2023 - 1 month 2 weeks)
Hi Margie Thankyou for your most kind review, certainly did not expect it. Rosie was an absolute pleasure to care for, shall certainly miss her. We enjoyed the long walks every day, hopefully did not exhaust her too much. Thanks again for the memorable experience at your home. Regards ... MORE
Phillip was great! The house was clean and tidy when we got home, he’d even washed and dried the sheets and remade the bed. The cats we calm and relaxed when we got home, it seems they had a great time with him. Communication while we were gone was good, no hesitation recommending Phillip.
 
JENN (Kew VIC, Jul 2023 - 1 week 6 nights)
It was our first time using aussie house sitters and we felt so lucky to have found a house sitter like Phil. Phil was exceptional with his communication from the very start. He came and visited us before we left and came back to walk our beloved dog to help him bond and create some comfort. That was an exceptional effort from him to drive from the other part of the city to do that. He left the house in an immaculate condition and sent us regular updates about our dog or any other house ... MORE
 
PRIYA (Tarneit VIC, Jan 2023 - 5 weeks)
Philip was just great with Cooper, he was very spoilt with walks and much attention. It was great to know Cooper and the house were being well looked after and we could just get on with our 4 week trip overseas. Philip was also very understanding when we came back a day earlier than planned! I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Philip for your next house sit, we would have him again in a heartbeat.
 
CLAIRE (Brighton East VIC, Dec 2022 - 4 weeks)
Philip has a gift with animals and that is clear by the calm state of my dogs when I came home from holidays. He took great care of them and I was very comfortable having Philip in my Home which was left in perfect condition. ,, I would highly recommend Phillip ,, he is a lovely person too regards Helen
 
HELEN (Cheltenham VIC, Nov 2022 - 2 weeks 2 days)
I cannot recommend Philip highly enough! This was the first time I had to leave my toy poodle who is 10 years of age with a complete stranger and Philip made it very easy for me to feel reassured my fur baby Teddy was being left in very capable hands. Philip is a complete professional and had a meet & greet a few weeks prior to the booking, and then met 1 week prior to take Teddy out for a walk to connect with him. Philip had wonderful reviews from fellow pet owners which is very important ... MORE
 
SYD (Heidelberg Heights VIC, Oct 2022 - 1 week 4 days)

AMANDA (Warranwood VIC, Sep 2022 - 4 weeks)
Philip was very friendly and sent us regular photos. our cat was very comfortable with him and the garden in good shape when we returned.
 
SIMON (Port Melbourne VIC, May 2022 - 11 days)
Thanks for your kind review, it was a pleasure caring for adorable Kiisuu, we bonded ever so well. Enjoyed been in familiar Port again.
We came back from our week away to a contented dog and well cared for house and garden. Philip came round to meet us and introduce himself to Harry the week before. We wouldn't hesitate to have him housesit for us again.
 
ALISON (Croydon North VIC, Apr 2022 - 1 week)
Philip is an extremely kind and thoughtful sitter. My cats were very happy and well cared for. I appreciate the help Philip provided with letting a maintenance person access the property. Philip had great communication, was a tidy guest and a friendly person to all my neighbours!
 
KATHI (St Kilda VIC, Mar 2022 - 4 days)
Philip is the perfect sitter. What a comfort to leave our gorgeous cat in his care. They instantly bonded (his first time with a man) and when we came home he was very contented and well-behaved. The house was left cleaner than we left it along with some lovely gifts. Can't wait to have him back.
 
JANINE (Hampton VIC, Mar 2022 - 4 days - 2 of 2 endorsements from this owner )
Hi Janine Thanks for your most kind review. Adorable Marley was an absolute joy to care for, bonded instantly with me. Most enjoyable sit at your nice unit.
Philip took great care of our pup and house. We really appreciated all the updates throughout our trip! Came back home to a very excited pup :)
 
NAIMA (Laverton VIC, Feb 2022 - 1 week 3 days)
Philip has done a wonderful job sitting for us. He cared for our dog so beautifully I'm not even sure that she missed us. After our 3 weeks away we came home to tidy house and a well tended garden. He communicated updates as to Buffy's daily doings including pics. I loved receiving them. I would highly recommend him if you are looking for a sitter.
 
ROSALIND (Wheelers Hill VIC, Jan 2022 - 2 weeks 6 days)
Philip was a great house sitter. He came around and met us and our cats before we went away, and the communication with him, making arrangements, was clear and effective. While we were away he looked after our 4 cats very well, and when we returned the cats were happy, and the house well looked after. We are very happy to recommend Philip as an excellent house sitter and pet carer.
 
KAREN (Port Melbourne VIC, Dec 2021 - 1 week)
Thanks for your lovely review. Caring for your lovely cats Chemi, Kritika, Keiko plus new addition Bhimla was an absolute pleasure, so nice having them all bond so well. Appreciated having clear instructions to all that was required. Throurougly enjoyed my stay with thanks at your home with the ... MORE
Phillip was my first sitter and put my mind at ease. He was a nice communicator and looked after my cat with care. I'd recommend him for any sit.
 
RYAN (Glen Waverley VIC, Nov 2021 - 2 weeks)
Philip was a great friend to our two cats, Snowy and River, they are missing him already! Philip did a wonderful job looking after our house as well and he kept in touch throughout our time away which was very reassuring. Thanks Philip, we'd be very happy to have you sit for us again.
 
JANET & ALASTAIR (Hampton VIC, Jul 2021 - 1 month 3 weeks)
This was out first experience of Aussie House Sitters and we are delighted with the way things went. Philip bonded so well with our cats and managed their medication needs. It was lovely getting regular updates and photos of how things were going so we could truly relax while away. Everything was lovely and ship shape when we got home. Many thanks Philip.
 
DEREK (Cheltenham VIC, Jul 2021 - 6 days)
Philip looked after our house and cats for just over a week. This was our first experience with Aussie House Sitters, and it was fantastic - Philip was lovely to deal with, an excellent communicator, and provided daily updates on the cats. We came home to three very cheerful cats and a sparkling clean house, as well as a lovely note and gift. Highly recommended. Thanks so much Philip!
 
ELEANOR (Preston South VIC, Jul 2021 - 1 week 1 day)
Thanks for the nice review, Aussie House Sitters are a most professional organisation, My last sit before returning home to QLD is now at Thornbury from 5th to 15th October, been close to you we could catch up, shall give you a call then.
We highly recommend Philip as a house/pet sitter - he took such wonderful care of our house and fur babies while we were away. He kept us updated on the sit during our holiday and we know our dog just adored his daily long walks with Philip. When we returned our house waa immaculate and our fur babies were happy and contented. He is a lovely sitter and we would use him again in a heartbeat. Thanks again Philip!!
 
STEPHANIE (Williamstown VIC, Jun 2021 - 2 weeks 1 day)
Thanks for your lovely review certainly not expected. My review was only to assist any future sitter with your advert should you travel again. As mentioned am really looking forward to returning home to my Noosa paradise this September, prior to then we could perhaps catch up. Hopefully have no ... MORE
Philip was great with my two scardy-cats, getting Scouty to accept pats from day 1! He looked after my house and plants well, and sent me daily updates, so I got back from a short getaway to two happy cats. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Philip for any sits.
 
ANA (Carlton North VIC, May 2021 - 3 days)
My thanks for your most kind review. Both Atticus and Scout were a pleasure to care for, they started to bond very well with me, more so on Sunday before you returned. Most enjoyable sit at North Carlton.
Phillip was wonderful. From the initial communication right through to coming home to a spotless house, slightly confused but very happy cats - I really think they would have been just as happy for Phillip to have walked in rather than us, and thriving plants. We were so thrilled that both cats bonded with him so easily. I'd highly recommend Philip. Thanks again for taking such good care of everything.
 
LORETTA (Laverton VIC, May 2021 - 3 days)
Thank you Phil, you have been such a fabulous help. I know that Mojo and Tinks were very happy to have your company. Mojo was missing you. Thanks for the updates and photos, the girls were very excited to see their pets while we were away. The house was left perfectly neat. And I appreciate the milk for coffee in the morning, given our late flight and arrival home, that was very thoughtful of you!! We look forward to seeing you again :)
 
ANDREA (ASPENDALE VIC, Mar 2021 - 2 weeks)
Philip took great care of my cat Borage and my house and garden. Borage is very friendly so I knew they would get on. He kept me informed with daily bulletins, washed and dried sheets and towels, left me flowers. On my return I found both house and cat looking very good.
 
JANE (Brighton VIC, Feb 2021 - 1 week 1 day)
Philip looked after our two dogs and our house for a week in March 2021 and it was a very successful experience for the dogs and for us. Philip was very professional and caring in that he came beforehand to meet us and the dogs and he also came once again before the actual sit and walked the dogs so that the dogs could become a bit more familiar with him. Philip's communication was excellent and we received regular reports on how the dogs were going while we aware away. Our dogs were walked ... MORE

I can't rate Philip highly enough. Great communication and we came home to a lovely clean house and very happy animals. Thank you so much Philip - made our trip even more enjoyable knowing things were in your care. Highly recommend you as a house/pet sitter.

Philip is a wonderful person to have sit. Communication great with little anecdotes. We would recommend him to others
 
KAREN (Buderim QLD, Nov 2020 - 1 week 1 day)
Hi Karen Thanks for your kind review, much appreciated. It was a pleasure caring for lovely Flash and Orana.
We got Philip on relatively short notice, due to my others sitters unavailability to come. We met him before the stay and I was happy he could sit for us. He was in contact often with texts and photos and when we arrived home, everything was fine. Dogs were happy and well fed and our house was tidy. Philip even left milk for us. Thanks for giving us piece of mind while we were away
 
SONIA (CORNUBIA QLD, Oct 2020 - 2 weeks)
Thanks for your kind review,. Do miss both lovely Rossee & Kassidy as they bonded so well. Most enjoyable sit !
Phillip helped us out with a short 2 night stay. He cared for Jet so well and we had regular texts letting us know what they were up to. We would definately recommend Phillip to other home and pet owners. Thanks Again Phillip.

DIANE (Armadale VIC, Feb 2020 - 3 weeks)
Philip is a fabulous communicator keeping us in the picture on a daily basis how our dogs were doing. Philip also was very kind and considerate to meet our dogs on several occasions before the house sit began bonding with our dogs . Our house was very clean and tidy upon return and we were greeted with two happy dogs, thank you very much for all your care and attention to detail Philip.
 
KAREN (Beaumaris VIC, Jan 2020 - 1 week)
Thank you Karen for your kind review.
We highly recommend Philip. He took amazing care of our beloved cat Archie and dog Lola and the house while we were on holiday. His daily updates of their adventures definitely gave us peace of mind. Lola was throughly spoilt with beach and park walks. She may not have wanted us to come home!
 
RACHEL (Sandringham VIC, Dec 2019 - 2 weeks 3 days)
Thank you for your most kind review. Am sure Lola and Archie shall be pleased to see you all home :-D
Phillip was very easy to communicate with and he was very calm and relaxed around my rambunctious dogs. The dogs were very relaxed and happy when I got home and looked well looked after.
 
CASEY (Footscray VIC, Dec 2019 - 2 days)
Thanks for your kind review, your dogs Hugo, Tom and Cheese enjoyed my company over the weekend, had lots of fun.
No rating It was a pleasure to have Philip look after Puss. He seems to have an instinctive feeling for how to approach cats and quickly bonded with her. He was extremely reliable in sending me regular text messages to let me know how she was going. These were very reassuring. I found a very contented and settled cat when I returned home. I also found my house left clean and tidy. Philip was a great house guest.
DIANA (Heathmont VIC, Nov 2019 - 1 week)
Thank you for your most kind review. As mentioned it was a pleasure to care for all whilst you were away.
Philip is an excellent house and pets sitter. He is kind and considerate. He made sure we had basic food as were coming back from overseas at dawn. He communicated regularly and provided updates especially about our rescued dogs who eventually bonded to him. My husband and I highly recommend Philip to other members and would be delighted to have him housesit for us again in the future.
 
FLORA (Sunbury VIC, Nov 2019 - 2 weeks)
We are so happy to have Philip care for our pets and our place. Philip took the best care of Ruby and Stella, sent us daily email with detailed updates, we knew we had nothing to worry about. We arrived to a nice clean home a lovely thank you card and happy animals. Thank you so much Philip and we really hope to have you back again!
 
KRISTINA (Heidelberg Heights VIC, Jul 2019 - 1 month 1 week)
Thankyou for nice review, look forward to catching up soon
Philip was a wonderful house sitter- he was highly professional and his attention to detail in regard to pet care was exemplary. We were delighted to come home to find a beautiful gift of roses and a very happy and contented cat and milk and raisin bread in the fridge ( the perfect antidote to a late night return from overseas). Our home was left spic and span. We would recommend Phlip for any future house sits.
 
SANDRA (Black Rock VIC, Jun 2019 - 2 weeks 5 days)
Lovely sitter and great at communicating. Our large dog and our cat were both well looked after and happy! Would recommend.
 
ALICE (Manor Lakes VIC, Mar 2019 - 2 weeks 1 day)
Phillip is a great house/pet sitter. He cared for our home and precious furbabies very well. We highly recommend him. Thank you Phillip for looking after our house and girls so well. They seem to have thoroughly enjoyed your company. Holly has promised to never go on an adventure by herself again...lol

Thanks Phillip for looking after our eccentric pets. Communication was fantastic.
 
LARISSA (Werribee VIC, Jan 2019 - 1 week 3 days)
Philip spent one night at our house looking after our 12 week old pup Stella. He took her for walks and looked after her well. She seemed to really like him! Our house was clean and tidy on our return and communication with Philip was easy. Great first experience with house sitting for us! Would highly recommend Philip for future sits. Thanks so much for taking the time to come to Windsor for the night :)
 
PAT (Windsor VIC, Dec 2018 - 1 day)
Thankyou Pat, it was a pleasure to care for lovely Stella.

LAURIE (Romsey VIC, Aug 2018 - 1 month 1 week)
No rating Philip is a kind gentle man who obviously loves animals. Our many pets were happy, fed, exercised in his care. He maintained communication while we were away with regular updates. The house was spotless and even left some food for us on our return. I'd recommend him to anyone.
