Services
Isabel can care for
Availability
I am working full time as a clinical research assistant and that allows for flexibility on most mornings and afternoons allowing time for drop ins and walks! I do work from home at least once a week in which I can house sit, walk and do drop ins regularly! On a regular work day, drop ins and walks can happen before 10:00am during lunch hours and after 3:30-4:00pm! I am available to house sit overnight on most any day that is needed!

A typical day
Dogs: I love being able to get outside with pets and engage in physical movement! A walk, an occasional jog, and if your dog plays well with others, I love heading to the dog park to let them roam free and get some energy out! If your pup or cat prefers the indoors and cuddling , I am all in for a stay inside!

Pet care experience
Please excuse the cheesy headline. Hi! I have grown up around animals my entire life starting in a 3 cat household. At age 13, I made a power point presentation on how I would care for a dog, if only my parents would allow me to get one (they did). I am an animal lover and also realize how special animals are to a family. I know that each family has a unique way in which they want care for their animals so please do not shy away from sending me away with a set of detailed instructions!

Reviews


This was my first time hiring a dog sitter outside of my own family, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Isabel. I was impressed from the very start, not only did my dog warm up to her right away, but Isabel immediately made me feel comfortable and confident leaving my dog in her care. She asked all the right questions, offered thoughtful recommendations, and really took the time to understand my dog’s needs and personality. During the stay, Isabel was fantastic with communication, sending regular updates and tons of happy, adorable pictures that gave me such peace of mind. Even when my dog unexpectedly needed an emergency vet visit (through no fault of hers), Isabel was completely on top of it. She could tell something wasn’t right and didn’t hesitate to act. She kept me informed throughout the entire situation and made sure my dog was okay and settled before leaving. On top of that, Isabel was able to watch my sister’s dog alongside mine, and she made the effort to meet both dogs beforehand, asking additional questions to make sure she could care for each of them properly. Every photo I received showed two happy, relaxed pups; it was clear they were in great hands. Overall, Isabel went above and beyond. I will absolutely be booking with her again!

Isabel was great, was resourceful and able to figure things out when my instructions weren’t clear. Sent me a picture of the dogs happy as could be. Would definitely have Isabel take care of my dogs again!


This was Isabel’s second time watching our dogs. She communicates very well and sends updates regularly. Thank you Isabel!!!


Isabel was fantastic with my cats. One of my cats developed a limp while I was away. Isabel went above and beyond, brought her to the vet for me and kept me routinely updated. I would 100% use her services again.
