Pet care experience
I’m a philosophy postgrad student. I grew up with pets (cats, dogs, even wild ponies at one point). I learned the importance of compassion and caring for them at an early age. Living in a London flat now means I can't have pets, but my love for them remains strong. My recent experience includes caring for a young Sharpei-Staffy cross during the pandemic and more recently, regularly dog sitting a Shipoo for up to two weeks at a time, from the time he was 7 months old. Unfortunately, this sweet pup now lives across the pond so I’m looking for a new furry friend or two.
Reviews
Isabeau was so great with Alan! We were a bit worried because it was his first stay away but she was so kind and sent us lots of regular updates. He was happy, healthy and sleepy from a long walk when we picked him up - we'll definitely be using Isabeau again!
Isabeau was a housemate of mine when I adopted my lively and energetic 1-year-old Sharpei/Staffy mix. From the outset, Isabeau assumed the role of a nurturing second mother to my pup, readily assisting with walks, feeding, training sessions, engaging activities and lots of cuddles whenever needed! Her love for animals is unmistakable, and her experience with dogs shines through effortlessly. There's a comforting sense of familiarity and confidence that comes from a lifetime spent around our furry friends. When I had to go away for trips ranging from just a night to up to a week, I never hesitated to leave my fur baby in Isabeau's capable hands. She was always reliable and competent, giving me peace of mind while I was away. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend Isabeau for any dog-sitting responsibilities. She's not only friendly and lovely to be around, but she also has this natural calmness that both pups and people adore.
Isabeau took such fantastic care of my little Bean! She kept me updated throughout his stays, and he always had the best time. She truly took him in as her own, and always made sure he had all his needs met, and beyond! I always knew that Bean would be in the absolute best hands with her when I went away. I can’t recommend a better sitter!
About Isabeau P.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am happy to care for pets in my home (which is a flat with no garden, but I live near lots of smaller parks and only 20 minutes from Hampstead Heath!) But I’m also happy to care for pets in the owners homes.
Home
Information Isabeau P. would like to know about your pet
Please inform me of any specific needs your pet has. I have experience with both young and senior dogs. However, our second-floor flat, accessible only by stairs, may not suit dogs with mobility issues who cannot be comfortably carried.
A typical day
We live in a beautiful part of north London with lots of green spaces and plenty of furry neighbours. We’re about a 20 minute walk from Hampstead Heath. My partner and I live together and he is just as great with pets if not better and more obsessed than I am. Tuesdays are the only days I have a regular 9-5 WFH day, but the rest of the time we can enjoy the parks, cafes and meet other pets in our cute neighbourhood.
