Your Pet's Second Best Friend

Pet care experience

I am a born and raised native Echo Park and Historic Filipino-town girl, two neighborhoods located in the north of Downtown Los Angeles. This is also the home to many feral cats, where I feed and help rescue those who are left behind. I own 4 cats, two rescues and two born from unfixed litters, I care for them everyday and give them love. I also own 3 dogs, two are my parent's dogs and one dog I share with my best friend. I am an experience bather and not afraid to take on a challenge. When I am not studying for school, I am caring pets at home and on the go as well. I am fully vaccinated and test for Covid every couple of weeks for my safety and for others. I used to volunteer for companies such as Petco as a cat tender for a few hours a day. Those duties included litter scooping, feeding, and playful fun with cats who are offered for adoption. I can help find services for low cost vet visits and low cost fixation for kittens. I used to work with people who help donate pet food/necessities, I can update on local drives that are being offered in the area. Any questions and concerns I will provide the best knowledge I can offered.

Isabel was a lifesaver on a last minute weekend trip to LA. She was free and willing to show up roughly an hour from my request and took amazing care of my two Pomeranians in our hotel room. They were stressed out being in a new city, location and room and she updated me with lots of pictures and videos to ease my mind as well. Thank you so much for the great care and I would highly recommend her!

It was a pleasure having Isabel stay with my pups while on a work trip. She has excellent communication and a loving spirit. Thank you!

Thank you, Isabel, for taking such great care of Otter! Isabel house sat for us when we had a last minute in-office day and was timely, shared regular updates, and made sure Otter was happy and safe. She took Otter on multiple walks and even a run which meant Otter was a very happy dog when we got home. We’re so grateful, and Otter is too!

Information Isabel M. would like to know about your pet

If your dog has any particular habits, special needs, or anything else that you like for me to know, I'll keep note of it and account for.

A typical day

Before my first walk, I like to sit with the dog(s) for a few moments to show them I am harmless and let them feel comfortable with me. I always like to plan a routine walk for where I can take the dog to different routes and discover something new so they don't feel bored. I always carried extra poop bags with me whenever its convenient and a water bottle for the dog(s) to drink out of. If your dog does not like other dogs or tend to be aggressive, I can offered to bring a can with coins and use it to scare off dogs. (friendly harmless distraction to avoid any altercation and permission from the owners)
