Pet care experience

Finds joy in seeing your pets happy

As a proud pet parent of 15 years, dogs have always been my whole life. From the time he was 10 weeks old I began training my family dog for potty training, basic skills, walking off leash, etc. I believe that the most important thing in our relationship, however, was the quality time we spent together outside of this sitting on the couch, going for long walks, and enjoying meals together.

Isabel is awesome from managing perfect handoffs. Her place is conveniently located, easy to find parking, and she met Remy and me downstairs. Remy immediately took a liking to Isabel, and Remy came back just as happy as when she was dropped. Isabel provided just the right amount of communication during her sitting of Remy. Thank you, Isabel. Remy looks forward to her next stay!

Isabel is great with animals. She is responsible and caring. She has taken great care of my 85lb dog when I’ve been away. She had my complete trust and confidence when it comes to caring for my pets as well as being in my home.

As a first-time pet owner, I had a lot of anxiety about leaving my new puppy, Obi, alone during my weekend trips/vacations. I wanted a trusting sitter for my dog that I would be comfortable leaving him with in their care. I turned to my neighbor, Isabel, who expressed interest in taking care of Obi. I am so happy that I did! When I was away on vacation, she constantly sent me updates on how Obi was doing and their day-to-day activities. She even included the cutest pictures of Obi to reassure me that he is happy and having fun with her! Isabel allowed me to enjoy my trips away from home without feeling anxious that Obi wouldn't be taken care of or is in trouble. Isabel was also very receptive to any questions that I asked her throughout the day or any tasks I wanted her to do. She was very thorough with making sure Obi got all of his medications and was given his proper meals. She was happy to give my energetic puppy lots of walks and play time. I am so lucky that I was able to have Isabel as a trusting pet-sitter for Obi (and I know Obi is thankful to her too!). She would be a true asset for other families as well, and I can assure them that their pets will be well taken care of under Isabel's watch.

Isabel is very attentive and caring. She has a natural lover for animals which comes through in her interactions with them. That plus her experience with her own pets growing up makes her a natural ! She is also very intuitive and reads there cues well and is able to be in command when needed .

Schedule

I currently work full time in person, however am able to pop home 1-2 times during the work day to provide your pup with potty breaks. After work and on the weekends I love hanging at home and walking around the city.

Safety, trust & environment

My apartment building is dog friendly, with several parks nearby to potty breaks and play time. Whether in your home or mine, my main goal is to make your dog feel as comfortable as possible.

A typical day

I love to walk and explore the city, and love nothing more than having a companion to do that with! Along the way we might stumble upon a dog park, find some free treats at shops, and return home to watch a movie. Whatever your dogs energy level is, I can match it!

Having a dog of my own for 15 years, I know what it's like to care for a senior dog with extra attention. Even before his old age, my dog was quite quirky, which we all grew to love and appreciate. Before meeting your dog, I'd love to know any quirks, personality traits, preferences, etc, that your dog may have so that I can best adapt to their needs!
