Pet care experience

I have been caring for animals since a young age and have a genuine love for them. With a B.S. in Animal Science and current enrollment in veterinary school, my dedication to animal care is evident. I have four years of part-time assistant experience in various animal hospitals, and I also provide pet sitting services for friends and clients. My work in hospitals has equipped me with the ability to detect abnormalities in pets and administer different types of medication when necessary. Additionally, I have one year of experience working in a dog kennel.

Our pup is super anxious and high energy, and she loved Isabel! I know she took such good care of her and will definitely use her again in the future. She sent daily updates and was very responsive. We're very fortunate to have found someone we trust with our fur baby.

Isabel took good care of my dog Nick while I was away on a vacation. She sent me daily updates with photos. She was very quick to respond when I had any questions before and during the boarding. Highly recommended!

The best sitter I’ve ever had on this app! Isabel was very polite and knowledgeable. She went above and beyond. Isabel accepted my last minute contract when I was on this app for like 30min tryna find someone to help my babies. She was the first to hit me back up and took care of everything with a great attitude and cost. Will only b hiring Isabel from here on out because she is very reliable. 🫱🏼‍🫲🏻

Safety, trust & environment

Whether in my home or at a client's, I offer personalized care that is specific to each pet's unique needs. I'm dedicated to ensuring that all pets receive loving attention, including affectionate scratches in their favorite places, and I actively engage them in playtime to both entertain them and ward off loneliness. For walks, I carefully consider the best weather conditions to maximize their comfort based on their breed. Moreover, I keep pet owners informed and connected by sending photos and videos of their pets at least once per day, accompanied by detailed updates on their pet's activities and appetites.

Information Isabel K. would like to know about your pet

-Is your dog generally friendly or social with other dogs? -Are there any specific precautions I should take while walking your dog, such as avoiding certain areas, using a specific type of leash, or maintaining a particular distance from other animals or people?

A typical day

In a typical day of pet care, the morning starts with a refreshing walk and breakfast, followed by a relaxation period. Midday is filled with fun activities like playtime and possibly an outing to a park, ensuring ample exercise and stimulation. Afternoons are quieter since I spend my afternoon studying, with lunch for those on multiple meals, followed by nap time. Evenings include another walk, dinner as per dietary needs, and play or cuddle time to wind down. Before bedtime, I make sure to send pictures and videos of the day's activities to the client, keeping them connected with their pet's day. The day ends with a calming routine, a final bathroom break, and settling the pet down for the night. Throughout the day, I ensure pets have access to fresh water and attend to any special requirements they might have, balancing physical activity, mental engagement, and affection.

My schedule predominantly involves attending live-streamed classes, allowing me to be home consistently. I integrate pet care seamlessly into this routine, ensuring I walk my clients' dogs four times daily - in the morning, afternoon, evening, and right before bed. While my study sessions are mostly conducted at home, I prefer studying near the sofa, providing me with the opportunity to be near the fur babies, and offering them affection and companionship. You can be confident that I will allocate sufficient time for play and interaction, guaranteeing that your pet receives the care and attention they deserve.
