Hi, I’m Isabel! . ‼️ FIRST-TIME BOOKINGS REQUIRE A MEET & GREET AT THE DOG PARK. I’m unable to accept a booking request until we’ve met in person. ‼️ . . ABOUT ME: I have more than 20 years of experience taking care of dogs. It started as a passion and then became a profession. I devote my full-time attention to this role without any other job obligations, which means your furry baby will receive my full care and attention when choosing me as your sitter. . I grew up surrounded by many animals, from tiny Chihuahuas and big German Shepherds to cats, birds, bunnies, and more. I am an animal lover, and I have a lot of empathy for them. I enjoy taking care of them, ensuring they are safe and loved, and making sure all their needs are met. . All my life, I’ve been involved with rescue associations, helping by rescuing stray dogs, finding them homes, or donating. It’s always been a very important part of my life. In emergencies, I’m the kind of person who acts quickly. I have the knowledge and experience to know how to act in case of any emergency your furry baby might have, although I’m always on alert because the safety of your pet is my number one priority. . I’m experienced in administering medications, whether orally or via syringe injection. . I have experience with rescue dogs and anxious dogs. I know it’s not always easy for them to adapt to a new place, but I’ll be right next to them if they need me to be close. If they need their space, I will give them space. . My goal is to make them feel as comfortable as possible during our time together and to continue their home routine, including their sleeping habits, potty times, diet, snacks, and playtime. . I do this professionally, and I take each and every pet I care for very seriously. You can trust that I will take care of them as if they were my own. . BOARDING AND DAYCARE: . What should you expect when your pet is with me? . Lots of updates and cute pictures! But only if you don’t mind! I will share at least one update a day unless you want me to send more, which I love to do! I’m a dog owner myself, and I love to know how my babies are doing when they’re not with me. I want to make sure you feel relaxed knowing your baby is having a great dog-cation! 🐶❤️ . I have a fenced backyard that’s a great space with turf and bugs free. They get to run, sunbathe, and do their business, and it is safe for those furry escape artists or jumpers 😅 I supervise my babies at all times, either inside or outside. . I have multiple areas in the house where they can go if they don’t feel like socializing. I also have lots of beds and blankets throughout the house! This is doggy land! 🐾 . As for cleaning, I vacuum and mop daily; this is a rule. I use non-harmful cleaning and disinfecting products so your babies are safe. I wash all beds, toys, and blankets regularly, replace the water in the water bowls several times a day, and wash the food bowls after they eat. . I have an 11 yearold boy, Mario, who inherited my love for animals. After school, you’ll find him cuddling or playing with his furry friends. ❤️ . WHAT DO YOU NEED TO BRING? . Their food! No matter their diet, I’ll follow the instructions, whether it’s dry food, refrigerated food, or both! I’ll make sure they continue their regular diet while they’re with me, and don’t worry I’ll make sure they eat. If you bring treats, vitamins, and snacks, I will make sure they have them as you instruct. . Kennel or bed: If they are used to sleeping in a kennel, please bring the kennel. I have plenty of space here. I also have indoor fences, but I prefer that they continue their normal sleeping routine. . If they have a special bed or blanket that will make you feel better knowing they have it with them, then it is also welcome. . You don’t need to bring toys or food/water bowls; I have that covered. But if you really want to bring them, that’s also okay! . My home, indoors and outdoors, is entirely dog-friendly, providing a welcoming environment where many dogs make themselves at home quickly. Most importantly, it’s a peaceful and safe place. . . This is an all-time positive environment. . For drop-off and pick-up times, I’m very flexible, but please let’s schedule a time that works for both of us. . During the time I spend with your pet, I’ll cover everything on the checklist, including walking or playing with them. . . . I know life happens, and plans can change. I’m also flexible with reasonable situations, and I’m here to help and give you peace of mind. . . Let’s meet! My meetings are always at the Don Haskins Recreation Center at High Ridge. We can set up a time that works for both of us, and we can get to know each other. . If there are things I need to know about your furry baby, please let me know! Details about their diet, behaviors, socializing skills, etc., will help us have the best experience! I hope this helps! Thank you for trusting me! . . Isabel
