Pet care experience

animal lover with fenced in yard!

I have taken care of many dogs and cats, from high school to present, when friends and relatives have relied on me to walk dogs and change litter boxes. Now, I love to play with my friends' dogs and go for walks around the neighborhood!

Such a great experience! Pictures every day of my dog really happy. She lives in a great area with lots of trails for walking and sniffing. My dog got lots of snuggles and was well taken care of. Highly recommend!!

Isa was wonderful! She took excellent care of our dog, took her on long nature walks, and provided a nice fenced yard for her. We will absolutely return to her if we need another sitter!

Isa is incredibly smart, kind, outgoing, and hardworking. She is also my dog’s best friend! Every time Isa is over my pup is cuddled right up on her lap. I trust her deeply and know she will go above and beyond for anybody!

Schedule

I am currently on research time in residency which means more flexibility, working partially from home, and more time to take care of your pets! My schedule varies week to week, and include time working from homes and gaps when I can take pets on walks.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in back yard and fairly spacious one bedroom in a walkable neighborhood, centrally located, and perfect for a walk around the block, leisurely long stroll, or multiple night stay! For walks, I also like to go to Eno state park or other nearby trails to tire your pup (and myself) out. For pet sitting in your house, I am organized, respectful, and clean. Your pet will get lots of play time and belly rubs!

A typical day

I like to take long walks or hikes daily, mostly around the neighborhood, east campus, or Eno state park. I also like to run and will take dogs on runs for a few miles.
