About: When it comes to your pets, you want them to have the best care there is. My animals are my children. So, I understand the need to feel secure and confident when choosing a pet-sitter. I will treat your pet(s) as if they are my own and give them as much attention and love as they rightfully deserve. You can rest assured they will be in safe, trustworthy and above all, loving hands while you are away. I am competent working with large and small breeds of dogs ,cats (all temperaments), and exotics. Given my veterinary training, I am proficient in identifying emergencies and critical situations that may require veterinary attention should they arise. I'm comfortable with administering medications, following strict feeding/health regiments, and caring for senior, special-needs animals and animals/currently undergoing strict medical regiments. I pride myself in my promptness and ability to strictly adhere to any and all instructions provided. Playtime and walks are an important part of your animal's daily routine and enrichment. During your pet's time with me, I will ensure they receive adequate stimulation and the same quality of care you provide them at home. You can also expect daily pictures and updates of your pet while you are away. A few facts about me and my qualifications: Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine. Growing up, I've had several dogs, cats, birds and other various exotics. Currently, I am lucky to be the proud parent of 4 cats. They are my world!! I recently moved to the area from Bonita Springs, FL, where I was a full time vet tech of several years. Veterinary medicine and caring for animals is my calling in life, and I cannot imagine doing anything else. I love being able to help the members of my community and their fur babies! I also volunteered at a wolf sanctuary for 10 years where I was heavily involved with animal husbandry and medication administration. I am available weekdays and weekends to provide your pet(s) the ultimate care. I am detail oriented and am used to caring for multiple animals at once (including sick or recovering). When staying at a client's home or dropping in for a visit/walk I am respectful of your space first and foremost. I am also extremely cautious when entering a home so as not to let animals out as that is my #1 worry with my own animals. I am also a neat freak and will leave your space as you found it.

“Isabella is the only person I would trust with my fur baby! You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and is so kind and helpful! My pup tends to be on wild side and has really poor leash manners. She is so patient with him and teaches him to walk nicely. I could not recommend her enough! Such an amazing person!”


“Lindsey was amazing! This was our first time using Rover and she matched our needs perfectly. Lindsey came over so we could meet before which was perfect. She bonded almost immediately with our two dogs. They loved her! We will use her again. I really appreciate her daily updates and pictures. We could be at ease knowing that they were being cared for. Thank you Lindsey!”


“Sophia is the absolute best! My dogs can be tough and she took time to make them comfortable, and was so sweet to them. She sent many cute pics and videos which was so nice for me to see while I am away. I’m definitely rebooking and so thrilled with my experience. I highly recommend!”



About: With over 15 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, I provide loving, reliable care. I’m trusted by my community and passionate about pets. Having a dog of my own, I understand their unique needs, from playful puppies to senior companions, ensuring your pet feels safe and at home.

About: From the beginning, my wife and I have shared a love for pets, especially dogs. I formed a home where our first child was a furry, four-legged friend. This beloved first canine child strengthened my love and taught me profound parenting skills, and I have passed that legacy on to our two teenage children and our three-year-old son. I formed a home where the love for our dogs is genuine and sincere. That's why caring for your puppies is my responsibility, and I take it very seriously. I have extensive experience caring for all types of dogs, breeds, and ages, and we carefully study their different and unique personalities and needs. I treat them with love and respect. From the moment your dog enters our home, he/she becomes another member of my family. Rest assured that he'll share unique and memorable spaces with each member of my family and will be a part of my family routine without exception. My home is a loving, personalized, safe, and warm home for your dog. Depending on your needs, I accommodate and strive to make our four-legged friend feel at home with us.
