About: I am a friendly, bubbly and passionate individual who takes pride in the services I offer. I have been dog/cat sitting for over 2 years now, and I have remained 5* rated on my Facebook page. I am always willing to go the extra mile for all animals, to ensure their quality of care is exceptional when I am looking after them. In addition to this, I have a lot of experience in dachshund care, and have worked with several dachshunds who have experienced IVDD - I have done several charity events to help raise money for dachshund re homing Charities. I have also worked with animals who are incontinent, offering a tailored, hygienic approach and respecting your animals needs to a high standard. Working in a school, I offer all week availability from 3pm onwards, and all day for weekends. I provide half term summer holiday availability to allow you to make the most of your family time together. I offer comfort breaks, medication administration (if necessary), dog walking, feeding, play time and more. I can easily work around your schedule to help provide a service that works for you and your animals to the best standard, offering the most comfortable and reliable care. I am fully insured and DBS checked. Before any service is booked, I offer a free of charge “meet and greet” for you to get to know me, and for animals to become familiar with me before I offer a service in your home. Alongside this, I require documentation to be filled out and returned before any booking commences - without this, I cannot provide a service. For dog walking, I will NEVER take your dogs of lead; this is a non negotiable whist your animals are in my care, to ensure the upmost safety and reassurance.

About: I work from home full time and would love to help by walking and dog sitting; at the moment I look after my daughter's dog for weekends/holidays. All children grown up, so I would love the company of a dog and the walking would keep me fit too. I work full time from home (children's safeguarding for a local authority), so I can have a dog with me all day and I am able to do a lunch time walk during the day with a longer walk at the end of the working day. We live in a bungalow with a fair sized garden that is all fenced and secure. There are lots of local areas to dog walk, lots of woods and open fields.

About: I grew up in Cape Town with five gorgeous dogs - including a chocolate Lab, a Boxer, and a Great Dane! So I have experience with a wide range of pups, big and small. I have been surrounded by dogs ever since! More recently, I have been living with two fluffy Russian Ragdolls - Winston and Zazu. They are like puppies reincarnate, and are super friendly with dogs. More about me… I love being outdoors, listening to to music, and of course my quiet time reading a book or watching Motherland! Puppies and senior dogs welcome!! I work full-time during the week in London, so I am available for pet sitting on weekday evenings and Friday to Sunday (full days and inclusive). I offer a clean, loving, and calm home for your furry friends to nap, cuddle, and play. With a fenced garden perfect for romping around or snoozing in the sun.

Isobella D.
“As a fellow professional dog walker, I have high standards — so the fact that I trust Isobella with my own dog says everything. She is reliable and calm, treating each dog as if they were her own. Isobella communicates clearly and consistently, always keeping me updated with thoughtful details and photos. It gives me real peace of mind knowing my dogs are not just safe, but genuinely happy and well cared for.
