Reliable Dog & Reptile Sitter

Hi, I’m Isabel Duke and caring for animals is something I truly take to heart. I’ve spent years looking after dogs and reptiles, both my own and others’, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I recently cared for 5 dogs at once, so I’m very comfortable with structured routines, feeding schedules, crate-trained pups, and different energy levels. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or an extended stay, I focus on keeping your pet’s normal routine consistent so they feel safe, calm, and seen. Note about availability: I work 8 days on / 6 days off. On my work days I’m available evenings after 6pm. On my off days I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings (flexible!). If you’d like a time outside evenings, just message me, and I can usually make it work if I’m on my off days! 🐾 Services I Offer For Dogs: • Walks, playtime, feeding, and meds • Routine consistency & stress-free care • Crate-trained, leash-trained, and high-energy friendly For Reptiles: • Experienced with geckos, bearded dragons & similar species • Feeding (live/frozen), misting, cleaning, and care checks • Comfortable with exotic pet needs like heat, light, and humidity 📍 Rock Hill + Nearby (within ~15 miles) Local and reliable — I provide fast responses and lots of photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. A Little More About Me Outside of pet care, I’m a geologist who loves collecting rocks, exploring nature, and nerding out over D&D. Animals can sense when they’re in good hands — and I always aim to be that trusted person for them.

Maple lived her best life in Isabel’s care and we are so grateful to her for providing Maple love and affection while we were gone. Isabel literally treated Maple like a member of her own family. We enjoyed the daily updates and pictures too! I give Isabel 10 stars for her superb care and support, and will definitely look to her for Maple’s care going forward!

So sweet and took such good care of my girl! Her check in notes were detailed and the pictures were great. Chloe had a great time with her and that’s saying a lot because Chloe doesn’t like just anybody. Isabel won her over pretty quickly.

Isabel did a great job. I had to hire her last minute when m6 usual pet sitter canceled. She followed all my instructions. And my pets were happy.

Schedule

Pet care is a natural part of my daily life—I have two dogs of my own, so feeding, walking, playtime, and companionship are already built into my routine. My lifestyle is built around caring for animals, and I’m committed to making sure every pet I look after feels safe, stimulated, and loved—whether it’s part of my routine or a special visit.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether in my home or yours, I focus on keeping pets’ routines consistent and stress-free. At my home, they’ll enjoy a calm space, a fenced yard for supervised play, and respectful introductions to my two friendly dogs. In your home, I follow all care instructions closely. Wherever they are, your pet gets personalized attention, love, and a safe place to relax.

Pets

A typical day

I tailor each dog’s care to their energy and personality—whether it’s a brisk walk, yard play, or treat puzzles. Your pup gets the right mix of exercise, play, and enrichment to stay happy and healthy while you’re away.

Before sitting your pet, I like to know their daily routine, energy level, any medical or behavioral needs, and how they typically interact with new people or other animals. It’s helpful to know if they have any fears, quirks, or triggers—like loud noises or certain leash reactivity—so I can provide the safest, most comfortable experience possible. The more details you share, the better I can match your pet’s care to what they’re used to at home!
