Highlights
Pet care experience
4-Star Licensed Home Away From Home
4-Star Licensed Home Dog Boarder Licensed by Dover District Council (Licence No. 57753) and fully insured, operating under Dingo Dog Care™. I board one dog at a time to provide calm, personalised, home-from-home care. I grew up on a farm, so being around animals has always felt second nature to me. I genuinely love spending time with dogs whether that’s long walks, quiet companionship, playtime, or plenty of cuddles.

Ratings and reviews
The moment I met Isabelle with her friendly, kind, and knowledgable attitude I new she was perfect to look after Milo who is 11 years old with special needs (lots of cuddles) On arrival home I was met by a very calm, happy and contented dog! Added bonus Isabelle had left the house immaculate!! Cannot thank her enough Jayne
Isabelle is leaving your dog in the very best hands when they can’t be with you. She took care of our dog, Herbie, while we were nearby for a wedding which enabled us to enjoy the rest of the weekend at the beach with him. We can’t thank her enough or recommend her more. Isabelle is not only professional, she has such good knowledge and experience with dogs that she was incredibly intuitive and considerate in responding to Herbie’s ways and behaviour. Her communication was excellent both prior and during looking after Herbie. She even came to meet with us and Herbie beforehand to make sure he was familiar with her and she understood what he needed. She provided regular updates throughout looking after him too. She clearly cares about caring for the dogs and also their human family that might worry about leaving them. We knew he would be well look after while we were out for the day. Our only regret is Isabelle not living closer to us, as we would always want Herbie to be left with her when he wasn’t with us. Thank you Isabelle - we all had a lovely weekend thanks to you!
Isabelle is a devoted dog boarder. Trigger, my sensitive Vizsla, was made to feel so very welcome. Trigger stayed with Isabelle for 2 nights and he was allowed to sleep in/on her bed with him. Trigger had a wonderful relaxed stay. I was kept updated with plenty of photos and messages. I have no worries about leaving Trig with Isabelle. Will definitely be going back!
Isabelle looked after my dog, cat and aquarium for the last 10 days. It was my first time finding a house sitter through a website and I was a bit apprehensive. However, it could not have gone any better. From the first point of contact, to us arriving back from our travel last night, Isabelle was friendly, helpful, professional and most importantly totally focused on the welfare of my animals. Nothing was too much trouble and Isabelle even watered my greenhouse plants for me. We were kept updated with texts and pictures during our trip. Both my dog and my cat have totally taken to Isabelle and I can’t imagine that they missed me much :)
Thank you so much Isabelle for being so thoughtful and caring with Caddy. We had a lovely break and felt reassured by knowing Caddy was well looked after. Thank you for the updates and hoping your stay was comfortable! All the best, Ginny and Mike
We cannot thank Isabelle enough for the care she gave Jerry during our recent 3 week holiday. We received lots of updates and photos during this time, and it was clear Jerry was living his best life with her. To be honest, we think Jerry fell in love with Isabelle! We wholeheartedly recommend Isabelle, she loved and cared for Jerry as we do. We could not have asked for more. Our house was spotlessly tidy when we got home and we were greeted by the happiest of little dogs. Thank you Isabelle 💕

Schedule
Pet care is central to my daily routine. As I board only one dog at a time, my schedule is organised entirely around their needs including walks, feeding, play, rest, and companionship. Whether your dog needs daytime care, overnight house sitting, or home boarding with me, they will receive calm, focused attention, reassurance, and consistent care throughout.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In my home, dogs are supervised, settled into a quiet routine, and cared for in line with their usual habits and preferences. When caring for a dog in their own home, I follow the owner’s instructions closely to maintain familiarity and minimise disruption. I always prioritise wellbeing, gentle handling, and clear communication, and I provide regular updates for peace of mind.
A typical day
A typical day is tailored to each dog’s personality, age, breed, and energy level. We usually start with a calm walk or beach stroll to get moving and enjoy the outdoors. For more active dogs, this may include longer walks and playtime such as fetch. For older or more relaxed dogs, walks are shorter and gentler, with more time spent on cuddles, enrichment games, or light grooming. Indoors, I keep dogs mentally engaged with scent games, toys, and quiet companionship. Throughout the day, I focus on maintaining a calm routine so dogs feel relaxed, stimulated, and at home while in my care.
