Highlights
Pet care experience
High-energy dogs welcome!
I have taken care of pets my whole life (my own and others). I have two of my own dogs currently — at 70 lb Shepherd x Dalmatian and a 25 lb Jack Russel x Aussie, both of which can get rowdy so I am no stranger to high energy pets! I am happy to help work on basic commands and will make sure your pet gets plenty of physical and mental exercise! I am a graduate student so my schedule is very flexible when it comes to checking in on pets and I typically like to spend >1 hour with them a day. I can provide medications and/or any specific care that your dog might require.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Isabelle was a great caregiver for my black lab! She was attentive to his (many) needs and very responsive in terms of updates. It’s clear he received a lot of love and attention in her care! He absolutely loves going to her house - he loves Isabelle, he loves her dogs, and he loves her house! Her love for dogs is evident throughout her house, with its many beds, toys, treats, etc. I highly recommend Isabelle!

Schedule
I am a graduate student and my schedule can be flexible! For boarding— my own dogs wake me up at 6 am to eat and then often like to go outside around 8 after some more snoozing. As a student I can be gone from 9-5 occasionally, but more often it is 11-4 or something similar. On average I am gone between 4-8 hours at a time depending on my schedule. During the day we usually play and I give them different enrichment toys. When I am home I let the dogs out frequently to romp in the yard! Dinner is around 5 and then usually a calm evening. My weekends I am usually home for the entire day. For at home visits or walks— I am happy to fit your pets needs into my schedule! I can offer up to 3 visits per day and can spend various amounts of time with your pet based on their needs.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
For boarding—I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to run and play. I have two dogs who are friendly (albeit loud) and would love to run around with your dog! I do have a crate in the house for your dog if needed. When I am gone my own dogs are closed in my bedroom and I would likely close your pet(s) in a separate room as well— your pet does not need to be crate trained if they are non destructive! Because I do have pets of my own any boarded dogs need to be dog and cat friendly. For home visits and walks— I am slow to introduce myself with each visit to make sure your pet is comfortable with me in their home as it can be stressful!! I typically sit with pets before immediately going for the leash to make sure they feel safe. I am happy to spend time with your pets beyond walking/feeding! In am able to stay for longer periods of time in the evenings to play or sit and just spend time with them. I am comfortable with reactive dogs and will prioritize your pets comfort.
Pets
A typical day
I live in a nice quiet neighborhood with a large park across the street that will offer additional enrichment beyond just outdoor yard play. I have a variety of treat based mental enrichment toys that I often use for my own pets and am happy to share!

- Please let me know if any medications or special needs that your pet has! Additionally, please let me know what their typical schedule is so I can do my best to keep them on it and make them comfortable! If your pets have any quirks (like to run after bunnies, will bark at cars on walks, etc) please let me know so I can be prepared.
