Friendly with sweet pup at home!
Pet care experience
I am an empathetic, passionate dog-lover with over a decade of dog walking/sitting experience and fluent in dog body language! I have a friendly, gentle 1.5 year old cavalier at home who is training to be a therapy dog, and she will win over even the most staunchly introverted animal/human. She gets along with dogs of all sizes and temperaments! I want to assist pup parents that need a helping hand to give their dogs the attention they need. I have had small-medium sized dogs all my life - bichon frises, and poodle-terrier mixes, so my specialty is with smaller dogs. But I have experience dog-sitting for all different breeds, including poodles, French bulldogs, American bulldogs, silky terriers, Maltese, bull terriers, jack russell terrier, chihuahuas, papillon, beagles, bichon frise, and more. I am living in Somerville and home most days of the week. We can coordinate which days you’d like me to be 24/7 available. I am flexible and eager to take care of your fur baby! I can travel to you for house sitting/dog sitting and drop-in visits. I have experience both giving oral medications to elderly dogs as well as handling easily excitable puppies.
Reviews
Isabel did a great job with Noodle, who can be very shy and anxious with new people. She took great care of her for the weekend and provided lots of unpdates
Julep, my French Bulldog, had a wonderful time with Isabel! Julep is prone to anxiety while I am gone and I’ve had issues with her having accidents on past sitters. I was gone 4 days and not one accident. The house was clean and it is clear Julep got a ton of attention. She barely blinked an eye when I came home.
Isabel was great! She sent me plenty of updates, and my dog had a blast with her. If you're looking for someone to care for your pet, I strongly recommend Isabel.
Isabel was great! She took the time to come by and meet us before. We were very nervous as this is our first time leaving our pup with someone we don't know. He is tiny and very anxious and she did a great job keeping us posted with how things were going. Lots of photos. Thank you Isabel! We will certainly use her in the future =)
About Isabel Y.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Safety and trust are most important when booking with me, which is why I require a Meet and Greet before booking with new clients. Let’s meet each other to see if we are a good fit and to establish open communication!
Home
Information Isabel Y. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know about your dog’s temperament, daily routine, dietary restrictions, special needs, triggers, and home life. How do they like to communicate? What are their favorite treats? Do they pull the leash really hard? Do they have a biting problem?
A typical day
We can walk around my friendly neighborhood or run around at the park! I love going for walks on the Somerville Community Path. I am also down to cuddle on the couch with your fur baby (they are welcome on furniture!).

Availability
