Your Dog’s New Best Friend
I’m a lifelong dog lover who has grown up with dogs and while I can’t currently have a dog of my own due to work commitments, caring for other people’s dogs is the perfect way for me to stay connected to what I love most — spending time with happy, tail-wagging companions. I’ve had hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. I’m comfortable with: - Daily walks and exercise routines - Feeding schedules and dietary needs - Basic training reinforcement - Administering oral medications if needed - Providing lots of attention, affection, and playtime Having owned dogs myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I know they’re not “just dogs” — they’re family. I will provide a calm, patient, and attentive environment where your dog will feel safe and loved. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, play sessions, or just cuddling on the couch, I adapt to their individual personality and needs. I’m reliable, communicative, and will always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands. I’d love the opportunity to care for your dog as if they were my own. Feel free to reach out — I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend!

Ratings and reviews
Buddy was looked after for 2 days by Isobel and being his first time away from home he was not to bad will be happy for Isobel to look after him again in august for the week kind regards Kevin x
Guinness has a great time with Izzy, despite having met her only briefly for a meet and greet he was excited to be reunited and enjoyed their play date. She kept me updated with pics and I would be very happy to use her again. Thank you 🙏
Isobel took great care of Mabel and was very communicative during the day and very flexible as we had a train cancellation and were later than planned. Would definitely recommend Isobel for dog daycare. Thanks!
Fabulous sitter for our medium sized rescue dog Scrumpy. He's got a few quirks but Isobel didn't seem fazed by them! She was also super flexible for us with the drop off and collection. Would definitely recommend 😊
Isobel was great with Bosko and a pleasure to work with. She kept us up to date with Bosko’s activities and seemed to have a natural affinity with animals.
Lovely sitter and great communication. Murphy came back happy. Will definitely rebook

Schedule
I work from home, which means your dog will have plenty of company, supervision, and attention throughout the day. I’m able to provide regular toilet breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of reassurance — especially helpful for dogs who don’t like being left alone for long periods. Because I’m home-based, I can easily stick to your dog’s usual routine, including feeding times, medication schedules, and specific care instructions. Whether your pup needs structured walks, enrichment activities, or just a cosy spot near me while I work, I can adapt to their needs. I’m also able to offer boarding, providing a calm, safe, and comfortable environment where your dog will be treated like part of the family.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a comfortable one-bedroom flat in the centre of Hove, providing a calm and cosy environment for your dog to relax in. My home is safe, tidy, and well-suited to hosting dogs, with enough space for them to feel settled and comfortable. One of the biggest benefits is access to a secure garden, giving your dog a safe outdoor space for fresh air and toilet breaks throughout the day. Being centrally located also means we’re close to lovely walking routes and green spaces for regular exercise and enrichment. Your dog will be welcomed into a peaceful, home-from-home environment where they’ll receive plenty of attention, care, and affection
