Isabella

Founder & Operator

Founder and operator of Cammino Canino, a professional pet care service based in Florence. I communicate fluently in English, Italian, and German, making it easy to connect with clients from around the world.

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 a 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.

Curriculum

Cosima

Head of Client Experience

A female Miniature Schnauzer with a big personality and an even bigger heart. She was born in Reggello, Florence on March 18th, 2020, the day after Saint Patrick’s Day.

Even while finishing her bachelor’s degree, she poured her heart into training me. With lots of patience (and maybe a few tears), she taught me everything from basic manners to advanced commands. We also working on service dog skills, with guidance from a wonderful trainer who certified me as a fully trained service dog.

I love having other dogs around. I’m friendly and playful with pups of all sizes, and when I need a little space, I retreat to my favorite high-up dog bed for a little quiet time. I’ve never shown a hint of aggression, just a lot of charm and good manners. I prefer to keep things calm, polite, and fun.

- Certified Service Dog (professional trainer–approved)
