My name is Isa, I'm a physiotherapist, born in Belgium. Since an early age, I've had a great love for the animal kingdom. Growing up, we always had hamsters, rabbits, chickens, cats, songbirds and dogs in the house (or garden, depending which animal we're talking about). Currently I have a small munsterlander (a hunting dog, like the german cousin of a Springer spaniel) and a tabby cat. I dog-sit a lot for my family, who coincidentally all have border collies.
I was an avid pet sitter back in Belgium, and would like to continue that in the UK now that I live here. I just love surrounding myself with as many animals as possible!
Dogs: No walk is too long, we could go for hours! I can bring my dog for company or, if your dog prefers this, leave her at home and walk your dog solo. If walking is simply not enough for your overactive pooch, or a bit too much for the elderly amongst us, I can also teach them some new tricks or play little search games to exercise their mind instead of their body.
Cats: Depending on the preference of the cat, we could play with each other, snooze with each other or (hopefully not) ignore each other. If the cat is trained to do so, I will go for walks with them (I do it with my own cat, but I know not all cats like it). Of course I could also try to train the cat to go for a walk, if you'd like that.
Other animals: Depending on the species, I will do the necessary research to provide the best care possible for your pet!
Services:
- Rate for dog walking: 12£/walk, £9 per additional pet. Walks are at least half an hour and I will vary as much as possible on routes.
- One visit a day would be £15, two would be £20. During visits I can meet any requirements you might have (feeding, cleaning litter box, ..). Depending on what is required, I would stay at least half an hour, if not more. I can do some basic grooming if necessary, do some basic training (I did hunting lessons and obedience training with my own dog).
- Additionally, I can do pick ups/drop offs, I'm willing to care for pets who require constant supervision and I have access to a car for emergency transport.
As for now, I'm available in the mornings, (after)noons and evenings.
If I were to host any animals in my house, vaccinated animals are definitely preferred. Not only for the safety of my own pets, but also for possible other pets coming to my house.

Isa and Mike was fantastic! Our cat is very shy and doesn’t like strangers but Mike melt his heart 😊 We received photos and video after every Mike’s visit and could see how is our boy. Very happy cat, very happy parents 😻
Sadie has had another great stay with Isa and Mike, she comes back happy having had lots of walks and fuss and we have already booked her next visit. Very happy to recommend their services
