Highlights
Pet care experience
Carer of plenty, Master of none
Since 6 years old I have loved and taken care of a variety of pets, from Guinness the guinea pig, Bubbles the fish, my little hens Lady Grey and Henny Penny, and our family dog Maya the Beauceron. With nearly two decades of experience raising animals, I jump at any chance to spend time with them. As well as a year since joining Rover, I have learnt a lot about caring for a variety of dogs and how to best adjust to their different personalities so they have the best possible stay with me! I can guarantee that your dog will have regular walks, play lots of games, and be given plenty of love and attention while in my care.

Ratings and reviews
Isabel was amazing, took perfect care of my dog and treated him like he was on holiday. I got loads of updates and it looked like he was having the time of his life. He came home and slept for days from all the hikes, playing and walks. Absolutely recommend ❤️
We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after our dog while we were away. Isabel was brilliant from start to finish. She kept us updated every day with messages and lovely photos, which made it so much easier being away from him. We’d mentioned that our dog can be a little reactive on walks, and Isabel was so understanding. She continued working on his training and handled him so well which we really appreciated. It was obvious she genuinely cared about making sure he felt comfortable and happy. It was such a relief knowing he was in such good hands and we came home to a very happy dog. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Isabel to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. We will definitely be asking her to look after him again in the future. Thank you again Isabel!
Isabel was fantastic with Marley. From the moment we met her we knew she would look after Marley. She’s such a lovely person and very calm. You can tell she loves dogs and her communication was great with me. She kept us up-to-date with lots of photos and what Marley was up to. There’s a great communal garden attached to her flat where she walked Marley plus lots of walks around Manchester and she even took him for a dip in the water to cool off. She also took him out for the day on the train and for a walk. Really handy where she lives in the city centre as we just walked over the road to Oxford Road train station and got our train to the airport. When we picked Marley up, he still kept going back to her which shows how much love she had given him. I would not hesitate recommending Isabel.
Thank you for taking such good care of Holly. Drop off and pick up was super easy. Very accommodating. Got retail updates and photos etc without having to ask. Can tell she was very well looked after and enjoyed her stay. Thank you!!
Isabel looked after Duffy for 5 nights and we were really pleased with the care he received. What stood out most was the regular photo and video updates throughout the stay — it was so reassuring to see him happy, settled and well looked after. Duffy came home content and relaxed. We would recommend Isabel to other pet owners.
Aggie has been looked after so well by Isabel.She had had an operation on her knee ( Aggie) but the care was excellent. Aggie had a great time and we had peace of mind. We would recommend Isabel every time xxx

Schedule
I work hybrid, two days in an office that's a 10 minute walk from my home. However, as it's a very flexible workplace I am able to work from home everyday if that's what you prefer. If I do need to go into the office, and my partner is not at home, then it's very easy to use my lunch break to give your dog a quick walk and toilet break. This is in addition to a morning and evening walk/play in the local green spaces around my apartment or in the communal garden.

Safety, trust & environment
I don't have a garden as I'm a fourth floor apartment, however there are several green spaces and a communal garden we can access for toilet breaks. I live with my partner with no other animals, aside from the tits and goldfinches that come to the window feeder, so your pet will be our top priority!
A typical day
I love playing a classic game of fetch when out on walks, but my favourite activities to do with dogs is playing hide-and-seek around the flat, hiding treats in puzzle toys, and cuddling on the sofa. If they are with me over the weekend, then I would love to take them to the Peaks for a breath of fresh air and an energising walk.
