Safety, trust & environment

We provide gentle, engaged care for pets, focused on learning specifically about each pet’s unique personality and needs. For any housesitting requests, the M&G will be extra thorough and go through both animal and home care needs. All pets deserve the world, and we both just want to make sure they’re comfortable and happy!

Information Isabel & Darian V. would like to know about your pet

Please let us know ahead of time if there are any behavioral quirks to keep in mind! In addition, let us know if your animal friend has any health concerns and needs medication administered.

A typical day

If it’s a weekday, we’d start off the morning with light play (10-15 minutes, depending on if time allows) and a feeding. We’d need to be at our jobs for our whole shifts barring emergencies, so we are both extremely willing to discuss what measures should be taken to ensure your pet is comfortable during the workday. Once all is over, though - expect more enriching play time, combined with time for a ton of loves, brushes, and cuddles (if your pet is a fan)! And, of course, all medication/supplement regimens will be followed as well.

Your PAW-fect specialized duo! 🐾💓

Pet care experience

Hi! We’re Izzy and Darian, two Carroll Gardens-based best friends, roommates, and animal lovers! We offer tailored, attentive care for your furry (and scaly, and feathery, and slippery…) family members. By working as a team, we will ensure your pet gets the precise care, energy level, and attention they need. To give every pet the absolute best experience, we divide and conquer based on our unique strengths and specialties! Izzy (they/she) handles all of our feline friends (any breed, age, or personality!) and loves pampering smaller pups who prefer a gentler touch or a calm, cozy environment. On the other hand, Darian (he/him) specializes in large breeds and high-energy medium/small dogs. He LOVES long walks, active playtime, and manages bigger pups with confidence. (Please note: Due to Darian’s severe cat allergies, Izzy handles 100% of our cat clients solo!) Your pet is always paired with the sitter best suited for their size and personality! We operate as a team, meaning your paw-fect baby is always covered and safe. In addition, we will always communicate exactly who will be handling your pet's care and visits. We can't wait to meet you and your pets! Reach out today to schedule a meet-and-greet. 🐾💓🖤

Isabel was wonderful with my kitty! He adored her, and got constant attention and play time. She was in regular communication with me, keeping me updated and sharing lots of pictures. Thank you Isabel for making it SO much easier to leave my little fur baby! 100% would recommend!

This was my second booking with Izzy, and they were just as communicative and committed to my cats' comfort as before. I appreciate their willingness to be extra patient with one of my cat's tricky medical needs, and my apartment was kept nice and tidy.

Isabel did an amazing job looking after my two little pups!!! She went above and beyond to keep my dogs happy, healthy, and clean. She also did a fabulous job looking after my home while I was away on a trip. She kept me updated regularly, even late in the night when my dog threw up. Quick to respond, very kind, and perfectly professional. I will absolutely book her again if I can :)
