Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced, trustworthy pet carer
I have worked in rescue and pet sitting for 10 years now and have fostered over 500 dogs in that time. I have cared for dogs of all different sizes, from chihuahuas to Caucasian shepards, and all different ages, from 9 weeks old to 17 years old. No matter how long I look after each dog whether it be 5 minutes or 5 months I love and care for them as though they were my own. I have experience with a wide range of challenging behaviours such as resource guarding, reactivity, aggression ect. I have qualifications in canine behaviour, nutrition and animal management and veterinary nursing course.

Ratings and reviews
Really happy with Isobel’s care of our puppy, Ralph. We’ve never left him with anyone before so was a feeling a little bit nervous about it. Isobel put us at ease and you can tell that she genuinely cares and loves dogs. She provided plenty of updates and videos and pics. Ralph seemed to have a great time and made friends with her dogs. Isobel is clearly very experienced in caring for dogs and provides them with a lot of stimulation and regular walks. He’s returned one happy pup and would definitely recommend and be using her again
Isobel has looked after our rescue dog brilliantly. She gave regular updates and photos, and we were really confident that our dog was well looked after. We would definitely use her services again and would highly recommend!
Isobel is everything I could ever hope for when an event arises that I can't take my chihuahua Daisy with me to; she treats her (and all of the other dogs I've seen in her care) as if she were one of her own. Isobel keeps Daisy and her brain active and understands that she isn't like lots of other chihuahuas - similarly she always manages to help Daisy be at ease with other dogs, when I can never quite manage it. It's true for me that our pets are our family and just as I am rigorous in seeking childcare for my little humans, so am I in choosing pet care for my dog. Incidentally Isobel is pretty good with kids too, but I think she prefers dogs!
Isobel has looked after my little chihuahua Chloe for years! Chloe loves spending time with Isobel, she gets excited when we pull up and almost certainly sees her time with Isobel (and her pack) as a dog holiday camp!!! Isobel is a lovely person who obviously has a passion for dogs and loves what she does. I have always found her to be an extremely polite individual and very professional. I fully recommend Isobel and I wouldn't go anywhere else.
Isobel has been looking after my dog for a long time now, Poppy is very much 'one of the family', I wouldn't leave her with anyone else. Poppy is treated very well under Isobels care, lots of walks, interaction and fun. I also know if there are any problems and I'm away on holiday, Poppy will be taken care of and help sought if needed.
Isobel is absolutely fantastic. She comes from a rescue fostering background so has dealt with every type, size and age of dog. She has been great with our large breed Romanian Shepherd rescue . Isobel is experienced, trustworthy, reliable and a nice girl too.our dogs love her, i highly recommend her.

Schedule
I am very flexible and can work around a schedule that fits your pets needs. Pets would be left no more than the odd hour if I needed to pop out for shopping etc but this can also be worked around for any that are unable to be left.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
If you have a schedule I can stick to that to offer the dogs a sense of familiarity. I will also send several photos of your dog so that you can feel relaxed that they are happy and in safe hands.
Pets
A typical day
We'll go for walks suitable to each dog. We will also make use of some of the many enrichment toys. They can enjoy exciting treats and chews. As well as supervised playtime with my own dogs. We live near lots of quiet woods, fields and rivers so dogs can have new exiting walks each day.
