I work remotely (9-5) in Cambridge, with a flexible schedule throughout the day, and I’m always more than happy to make time for pups! I do ask that requests between 9am and 5pm be flexible with timing.

About Isabella C.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
In caring for dogs, I follow their lead, earning their trust and respect along the way. For dogs who love people and need lots of attention, I ensure they have the mental and/or physical stimulation they need, whether through time together or an engaging toy or puzzle. For those dogs who prefer to be alone, I make myself available and do what I can to encourage activity, through toys and walks, but I always respect their space. On walks, my main goal is to keep the dog focused and safe, through redirection from distractions and, of course, having treats at the ready!
Information Isabella C. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any allergies or quirks that would be helpful for me to know in order to best care for them (ex. “He’s reactive other dogs, but not cats, cars but not people.”). I’d also be happy to know what commands your dog knows. Additionally, I speak both English and Spanish and have experience using both languages with dogs. If your dog responds well to Spanish, please feel free to let me know!
A typical day
We’ll explore the area, and, if close enough to a fenced-in, dog-friendly park, we’ll play some games, depending on whatever your fur baby typically likes to do! We’ll have treats for reinforcing training and ensuring your pup is happy and safe!

Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Isa! I have had dogs my whole life. I’ve spent time caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes, ranging from German Shepherds to Border Collies to Shih Tzus and Malteses. I understand the bond between a dog and their person, and I want to do everything I can to make dogs feel safe and comfortable when we’re together. I have experience caring for small senior dogs, doing basic grooming and joint care, as well as helping younger active dogs get their energy out during playtime. I am well-versed in picking up on a dog’s quirks and reinforcing commands to keep training fresh in their mind. I would love to be your dog’s favorite visitor!
Reviews
Isa was clearly detail oriented and took great notes for everything we asked her to help with, including training reinforcement. We will be delighted to keep working with her!
Super sweet and considerate person! I really needed last minute help as I am disabled and Isabella came through! Very responsive, communicative and understanding! My dog was well taken care of!
Isabella is great with Winnie! Excited to keep up the walks. Thank you!
Luther was happy to see Isa again and appreciated her flexibility with his hatred of the cold weather! Thanks for your good communication with my roommate and for all the care you take with my dog!
