Availability

I work fully remotely as an attorney for a legal nonprofit and offer both daycare and boarding from my home. My flexible schedule allows me to provide attentive, reliable care and accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including walks, feeding, and breaks throughout the day based on your pet’s normal routine. Unlike many Rover providers, I only accept one Rover client at a time in my home. I won’t be balancing multiple Rover families or rushing between pets, which allows me to give your pet individualized attention and care. My own best experience using Rover was with a sitter who worked remotely and provided this same level of dedicated attention. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own.

About Isabel F.

Safety, trust & environment

Both of my dogs are rescues - one was a surrender and the other came from a hoarding situation - so I’m used to being patient, letting animals set the pace, and helping them feel safe in a new environment. That experience has taught me that every pet is different, and I take the time to learn each animal’s personality, needs, and routine. Pets in my home are treated like family. They’re welcome on the furniture, and there are dog beds and toys throughout the house. I live just a block from the lake and take my dogs on daily walks in the park, which your pup is welcome to join if that’s something they enjoy. I’m also a very anxious dog mom myself, so I know how much regular updates matter. I’ll send photos and check-ins so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for. I will strive to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible by following their normal feeding, exercise, and care schedule.

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Isabel - an attorney, lifelong animal lover, and experienced pet owner. I currently have two dogs and one cat - the centers of my universe. I also grew up with dogs and have been independently caring for animals for more than 15 years and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I have fostered dogs on several occasions and many of my own pets have been rescues, including some with significant trauma and behavioral challenges. Through those experiences, I've learned the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each animal's unique needs. Whether your pet is energetic and social, shy and anxious, or somewhere in between, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away.

I thoroughly trust my beloved dogs with Isabel. She is caring, thoughtful of their needs and has a lot of fun with them. I always feel confident that she gives them the best care they can get, and they are happy campers when they return from a visit to Isabel! She's the best!!!

Dog whisperer! Isabel is an incredible dog (and cat) mom. She loves to make sure her pups are mentally stimulated and enriched with games, walks on the beach and play time. She would be a perfect dog sitter!
