Pet care experience
As a kid, I used to stare for hours at a huge KISS book, memorizing every dog breed. I've met very few dogs I didn't like, and it's probably because I just didn't know them well enough! My family has always owned dogs (from terriers to Great Danes), and raising a very curly goldendoodle myself (who is now 8 but still very much a puppy) has taught me how to really listen to what a dog needs. She's extremely friendly, and has been used to help other dogs with socialization, if that is something you and your dog are interested in. I attended two summers of veterinary camp, so I know basic pet first aid and CPR, and have experience petsitting other dogs from 15-80 lbs. I'm a recent college graduate, so have a lot of availability, and am surprisingly good at making dog friendly cakes!
Reviews
Isabelle is very responsible and extremely trustworthy. She takes great care both with dogs and treats them as if they were her own. Your four legged friends will be in great hands with her.
I cannot think of a better person to dogsit. Isabelle is not only smart, kind and responsible, but she also just understands dogs incredibly well. She has a lot of knowledge about dogs -- what features are distinct for certain breeds, how to train them, etc. -- and can also just intuit what they need and want. She is extremely capable.

Information Isabelle K. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if your dog has any history of aggression towards other dogs or people, or needs to wear a muzzle when out.
A typical day
When it's not too hot, I find dogs love Balboa Park. There are so many different smells- from duck ponds to gopher holes, and if I don't meet too many dogs there, it's only a short drive to a fenced in off-leash park, where they can have more freedom. Runyon Canyon is also a great option for dogs who need a higher energy activity, and if your dog loves adventure and has a free day, there is a dog friendly beach in Summerland that we can definitely make a day trip of!
