Information Isabel L. would like to know about your pet

A typical day

A Day of Structured Enrichment & Expert Care I ensures a balanced and predictable day, leveraging my trainer background for consistency and structure. Mornings start with a structured, custom exercise outing—either a nice long leash walk, a bike ride or safe off-leash time at a large private fenced field —followed by settled breakfast and rest. The core of the day is dedicated to mental well-being, featuring down time for a nap, short training sessions & yummy chews to chomp on. Evenings wind down with a final walk, dinner, some nighttime play period before every guest is tucked in to their dedicated, secure sleeping space for a restful night.

Isabel is very patient and experienced. Our dog can be reactive and shy in new situations and he didn’t seem to have any issues integrating with her. We got updates every day and didn’t have to worry about him at all. Thank you!

Isabel was very friendly and accommodating, and Dexter loved his stay with her! She took super good care of him, including extra exercise, supervised socialization and play with other dogs, and making him do tricks to earn his treats! She also knows how to use different types of harnesses and I felt like she was an experienced provider. Great open communication and flexibility as well. Thank you Isabel!!
