About Isabella

Hello!

I’m Isabella, founder and operator of Cammino Canino. While we officially began in February 2024, my journey with dogs started well before that.

My deep connection with animals truly deepened in 2020, when I brought home my Miniature Schnauzer, Cosima. Training her from the basics to full service dog certification became a turning point for me. That experience inspired me to deepen my knowledge of pet care, including pet first aid, behavior, and hands-on work in both daycare and private settings.

Cammino Canino was created to offer something truly personal. I provide in-home care where dogs feel safe, loved, and fully understood. Each dog receives individual attention, a consistent routine, and plenty of affection. Whether it’s an overnight stay, daytime care, or a walk full of sniffs and tail wags, my goal is to make every dog feel at home, even when their humans are away.

Curriculum

  • General Degree of Secondary Education (GCSE)

    Abbotsholme Boarding School (Derbyshire, England)

  • My journey with dogs began in the summer of 2013 on the small island of Filicudi.

    On a family holiday, a stray puppy trotted the entire uphill walk to follow me to our rental house. Within 24 hours we’d confirmed he’d been abandoned, welcomed him into our family, named him Rocco and started the lifelong bond that inspired my career in working with dogs.
