Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in their home by prioritizing consistency and individualized care. I know pets feel most secure in their familiar environment, so I do my best to maintain their normal routine (feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, etc). I also take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and needs to make them feel most comfortable. I treat every client’s home with respect by keeping things clean, following all care instructions, and providing regular updates. With my veterinary background, I am also comfortable monitoring for any changes in behavior or wellbeing.

Information Isabel C. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there is anything you want me to monitor ahead of time, including changes in appetite, behavior, or overall wellbeing. If your pet also prefer to follow a specific schedule I am more than happy to closely follow detailed care instructions.

A typical day

I love to take dogs on walks in Depot park if they are high-energy or need some exercise! If your pet is lower energy and enjoys company, I can sit with them on the couch and enjoy a movie :)

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Isabel, and I am a second year veterinary student at the University of Florida. Before veterinary school, I worked as a small, equine, and exotic animal veterinary technician. I have years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and medical needs. With my veterinary background, I am comfortable caring for senior dogs, puppies, and pets with medical needs. I understand that trusting someone with your dog is a big deal, so I do my best to make you and your pet comfortable from the start. Whether your dog is high-energy or prefers the couch, I am happy to adapt to their needs and routines. I also prioritize clear communication and will keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets!

Isabel has been our dog sitter for a couple of years and I recommend her highly. She is fantastic with our 3 dogs. She’s consistent, reliable and not only provides for their care but spends time hanging out and giving them attention when we’re gone. The 3 of them love her and it’s great to know they get attention and belly rubs, as well as basic care, so they don’t miss us too much!!

Isabel is our absolute go-to pet sitter whenever we travel. As the proud parents of four rescue dogs, finding someone we trust with our babies is incredibly important, and Isabel exceeds every expectation. Our dogs absolutely adore her. She has the calmest, kindest, and most loving demeanor, and they are always happy and relaxed in her care. One of the things I appreciate most is how communicative she is—she consistently sends updates and photos, which gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away. As a veterinary school student, Isabel brings an extra level of knowledge and attentiveness that is invaluable. I know she would immediately recognize if something seemed off with any of our dogs and would handle the situation with care and professionalism. If you’re looking for someone who will love your pets like her own, keep you informed, and provide exceptional care, I cannot recommend Isabel highly enough. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her!
