Highlights
Pet care experience
Animal loving couple with 5 pets.
We are a couple who have 5 pets together- 1 dog, 3 cats and 1 elderly guinea pig. Our dog is a senior rescue who has reactivity issues (scared of dogs) so he is muzzled and in high vis gear when outside. We do a lot of training both in and outside the house with him due to this but also have a love of training tricks etc. I (Isabel) have pet/house sat since I was a teenager for extra pocket money and have always loved it as I never had pets growing up but was always around them. Ben has had cats since he was born so has always been great with them.

Qualifications

Safety, trust & environment
We are both trained in dog first aid and CPR (and have certificates to show if requested) and always carry a dog first aid kit with us. We both love cuddling and fussing over pets as much as they want to, but also appreciate training routines, crate training etc. and are happy to enforce any rules you have (like no dogs on sofas).
Ratings and reviews
Arwen had a great time playing and lots of cute photos
Izzy and Ben were fantastic with Pumpkin. They took such good care of her and even treated us to a bonus photoshoot! We’d happily recommend them.
My dog has a fair few needs and medical condition but Izzy was super understanding and took time to learn all about him. It’s great for me knowing he gets visits from someone so caring, and reassuring that Izzy has done first aid training and is experienced in looking after dogs with special needs.
Very thoughtful and going the extra mile especially in the hot weather bringing Toby frozen treats - lucky boy! He loves his visits
We couldn’t recommend Isobel & Ben enough! They are very attentive to my cats and their different needs and personalities. As someone needing a regular sitter for the first time- I’m completely reassured and know my home and cats are safe with these guys! ☺️ With one nervous cat, Isobel and Ben made such an effort to make her comfortable and to meet her at her level. It took two visits from her completely hiding away to happily eating and having a fuss from them both ☺️ We always get a message and photos letting us know how my cats were, how much they ate, if anybody went to the toilet, and who got the most fuss! My cats are my family, and I trust them completely with Isobel & Ben ☺️
I was very happy with Isabel's first day dog sitting my dog. He is an older dog and a bit needy these days after a leg injury. He took to Isabel and Ben straight away when they came to meet him and I felt confident leaving him with Isabel. I have re-booked and hope to do more with them. Isabel kept me informed during the day, and when I returned my dog was snuggled up beside her! Good friends. Thank you Isabel.
