Highlights
Pet care experience
Animal lover
I am 22 years old, from Boston Spa, Wetherby. Im active and love the outdoors where I spend my free time horse-riding. I recently graduated as an Equine Sports Science graduate, the study of horse biology and exercise physiology, which also covers cats and dogs, due to similarities. I’ve gained better knowledge of animal health/welfare, understanding of behaviour and first aid, all of which can be transferred to pet sitting. I’ve had the pleasure of having pets my entire life from family dogs, cats and horses, therefore, have a good understanding on how they work. I have previous experience in pet sitting as for the past few years I have dog sat as a part time job, gaining knowledge on caring for other dogs/cats on a deeper level, living with them in their own home whilst learning how pet sitting works (I can provide multiple references, if requested). In 2021, I travelled to Aruba for 3 months for work experience with animals. I shadowed at the local vets and worked at a sanctuary. After this I worked at an equine retraining centre in Australia for 4 months and lived with a family, caring for their 6 dachshunds and one great Dane! I understand every animal is unique, which is why I approach each pet with a tailored, gentle and professional mindset. With a strong background in animal care and genuine love for them, I create a stress-free environment where pets feel happy in their home.

Ratings and reviews
Isabelle is a delight, and she looked after our lurcher Fred over the weekend. Great communication, very responsible, friendly, and most importantly Fred had a great time. 100% recommend and will ask to look after him again
I highly recommend Izzy to others needing pet care. She is a lovely young lady who did a super job looking after my dog, Cleo, in my home. So pleased I booked with her.
Isabelle helped me out at very short notice which I really appreciated. She is a lovely young lady who has a natural affinity with dogs. Mila, who can be anxious with new people, was totally relaxed with her. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Isabelle, and look forward to seeing her again in the future. Thanks again Isabelle!
Isabelle is a lovely young lady! She came for a visit before doing a few “drop ins” for me. She sent me photos and communicated well to make sure she knew exactly what my puppy needed when she came. Highly recommend her. 100% will be booking Isabelle again for drop ins / walks.
Isabelle is always on time and takes my dog on various different walks locally. She’s very trustworthy and flexible with her availability, even when I need to book last minute due to work commitments. My dog loves his walks and it’s a great peace of mind knowing he is so well looked after. Thank you :)
Isabelle cqme to my rescue at the last minute for my young pup. Lovely professional young lady who clearly loves animals. Thanks for helping me out xx
