I’m a student with a flexible schedule and a car. My main priority would be to fit seamlessly into your schedule to not disrupt routine and would be happy to work around you. I’m an early riser, so love early morning walks but am also happy to accommodate activities later in the day too.

I have experience house sitting holiday lets over out of season periods and have provided cleaning services, so I have a great attention to detail and am very tidy. I’m big on rule following so would never cross boundaries but have lots of love and attention to give your pets! Just let me know what you’re comfortable with and I’ll make sure to provide the rest. After having my own, very fussy princess of a senior dog I’m more than able to accommodate any quirks. I know each dog has their own personality and I’d love to get to know them to tailor how I care for them, just as you would!

Information Isobel J. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any special needs, behaviours, quirks, favourite toys, triggers, favourite treats and honestly anything you deem important! I’ll go above and beyond to keep them happy and walk them as you would, so the more I know the better :)

A typical day

I love to stimulate your pets both mentally and physically, with lovely long walks with lots of sniffs on Southampton Common and fun games at home. I follow the pets cues for when they want to have cuddles and when they want their own space too. I have lots of experience with dog body language and behaviour and would never cross their personal boundaries and cause them, or you, to feel uncomfortable.

Caring and reliable, with lots of love to give!

Pet care experience

I’m a massive animal lover, from dogs to cats, rabbits, horses and everything in between. I’ve grown up surrounded by animals of all sizes but have a particular soft spot for dogs. After moving away from home for university, I’ve been missing the unmatchable company that pets give and would be honoured to give yours a little extra attention. I love a puppy, but have extra experience with senior dogs and can take walks, sits and any other services at paces that suit them. I love a bit of character and quirk, and would aim to provide the same quality of care that you provide for your own pets. I’m a university student with a flexible schedule to work around yours and your pets needs and cause minimal disruption to their schedules. I prioritise every detail of care and make it as personal as possible by carefully following all information provided and keeping communication open with the owners too.

We had such a wonderful experience with Isobel as our dog sitter. She was incredibly reliable and caring, which immediately put us at ease as this was the first time we've gone away since welcoming Dante to our family. Throughout the time we were away, Isobel kept us regularly updated with lots of lovely photos and messages, which really reassured us that our dog was happy and well looked after. It made such a difference being able to see how much fun they were having! She also took our dog out for long walks, making sure he got plenty of exercise and attention. It was clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after and treats them like her own. Thanks to Isobel, we were able to relax and enjoy our time away without any worries. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter.

Isobel was so great with our dog Patch, and took her out on all sorts of adventures! Patch seemed very happy and well looked after when we got back ❤️ Isobel took great care of the house and made sure to send lots of photos and updates. We would definitely book her again!

Isobel, has been great with our dogs, who are medium sized and energetic, her caring and compassionate nature are welcomed by us and the dogs. She’s never let us down and we would not hesitate to recommend her.

Belle is absolutely lovely with our vizsla Mabel. They bonded straight away, Belle had a naturally calm yet confident way about her, which put me at ease immediately. She always turns up on time and has never let me down. When they come back from their walk, it’s clear they’ve both enjoyed their walk and Mabel is ready for a good nap. I would absolutely recommend Belle to everyone.
