Availability

I am able to do daily walks or drop ins for cats and dogs. I also have some house-sitting availability depending on location - I request that pets can be left home alone for a minimum of 4 hours to allow me to attend to other clients and run errands. I do not bring my dog(s) along to house-sittings unless specifically requested by the owner and only then, after a supervised meet & greet.

Let me know if your dog has any special requirements ahead of time. I will do my best to accommodate any requests that are made.

Dog mum of a collie-flower

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs since I was around 12, growing up with two golden retrievers and also sitting and walking many neighbourhood dogs. I have had three of my own dogs; two I have raised from 8 weeks and another I adopted at the age of 6. I currently compete in obedience and agility with my youngest collie. I have experience with dogs of all ages and activity levels and am capable of administering oral, injectable and inhaler-based medication. In recent years I have lived in multi-dog and dog-cat households and am experienced in dealing with those interactions.

I had Isabel care for my cat Lola and she was great. I felt Lola was in good hands, and Isabel let Lola come out of hiding on her own terms, which meant Lola became braver each day. She sent lots of photos and I was satisfied with Isabel and her care. I would definitely use her again.

Isabel is really patient and caring with our cat when we were gone. She made sure that Mamba had access to fresh food and water. We truly appreciate Isabel with our shy cat!

absolutely amazing sitter! went above and beyond when our cat got out and got himself stuck in the attic, researched resources to get him out and was flexible to put in the additional time needed to make sure he was okay. truly cares for the pets and would absolutely trust her again with any pet situation.
