Pet care experience

- Introduction - About Me - Disclaimer - Pet Parafernalia - Scheduling - Safety - Typical Day - FYI/AMA •INTRODUCTION• Thank you for considering me to care for your fur family! I promise your pets will love me!! You’ll find a lot of information below regarding how I can better serve you the pet owner and your pets, as well as some other information. Use the guide at the beginning to skip to wherever is most helpful. • ABOUT ME • Please call me, Ysla! [eye-luh] (Benedict is my government name)! I am from San Antonio, Texas and have spent the better part of my life raising and caring for animals. Before college, I lived on a farm where I helped breed German Shepherds and goats, and helped care for any number of farm animals including but not limited to cows, chickens, ducks, rabbits, cats, and more. I’m excited to meet all of your wonderful dogs and share my love for animals with them! I love all pets equally but have a soft spot for jumping spiders and cats! • DISCLAIMER • I am a disabled veteran and taking care of pets is about the best thing I can do to manage my mental wellness and combat my disabilities!! I require an extreme amount of fluidity and flexibility in my day in order to serve all my clients in an efficient manner. I will not forget about your baby, I promise!! I look forward to serving your pets as I served our country! ❤️ • PET MERCH • Do you love your dog/cat so much that you’d wear a tshirt/hoodie/sweatpants or use a pen/iPhone case/cookie with their cute little face and name on it? Please contact me for pricing and queries on how we can create a special piece of clothing for your special pet. 🥰💕

She sent updates and pics on the animals every day. They all seemed to warm up to her quickly. Would definitely rebook in the future

Ysla is great with our kitties & makes me feel at ease leaving them in her care. She's easy to communicate with, responds in a timely manner, punctual & a kind hearted person.

Isla did a great job of taking care of my two senior dogs. My pups were very comfortable with Isla and well taken care of. They took pictures and sent notes after each visit and that was wonderful. I would definitely recommend Isla and will use them again.

Thanks Ysla for the care of Oreo. Sending pics and updates were most appreciated Oreo’s care as an old dog was important to us. I know 12 days staying at our house was a long time to be away from your kitties 😊😊
