I love dogs

Pet care experience

We are a family of four which includes 2 kids ages 14 & 12. I also have an 5 year old mini labradoodle Khloe and a 4 year old yellow lab mix Ellie. I have had dogs all my life. While in college I worked as a vet tech. I also have fostered dogs for various rescues for over 5 years. About this sitter: My husband and I work different shifts so your dog will only be home without an adult for 6 hours at the most/day. Rover charges by the night but I charge by the day so I may add an additional fee to the fee that is stated by Rover. Please ask if any questions. Why I love dog sitting I have always had a dog. I have had small dogs all the way up to German Shepard sized dogs. I love them all. Meet my pets I have a 1/2 acre backyard that is fenced. I also have a tie out. There is a 3 mile walking path and pond right outside the house. Our whole family loves to take the dogs for a walk or run when the weather is nice. We all share in the care of the dog including feeding, letting it out, walking it, etc. About my yard Fenced in 1/2 acre yard. My experience administering medication I am comfortable giving medication by mouth and I can also give shots.

She was amazing with my pet and the big backyard is perfect for all the doggies to interact and have fun running around❤️ Her dogs are also the best

My puppy had a great time staying with Isabel! I was sent pictures of her with the dogs and kids, and she looked very content. Will definitely try to use Isabel again if we can!

This was our first time using such a service, so I did not know what to expect, but everything went well. Isabel set up a meeting prior to the actual stay, so that I could bring Buddy to the house. She gave me all the information I needed and attention to Buddy, so when I dropped him off for the weekend I was comfortable doing it so. During the stay she send me a picture of Buddy and she was also flexible when we run late because of traffic. I'll not have an issue of leaving Buddy with her.

Information Isabel R. would like to know about your pet

I love all dogs and their personalities. I love dogs that love to cuddle. Please let me know your dogs eating habits, bathroom habits, where they like to sleep, vets name and phone number. I also need an emergency contact, just in case.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks There is a 3 mile long paved path in our neighborhood. We also like to take walks in area parks such as Carousel, Brandywine Park and Delcastle. Most of the time the dogs enjoy just running around the backyard with their new friends. If a dog doesn't want to go for walks they don't have to go. Your dog's sleeping arrangement In a crate in the kitchen or laundry room where my dog sleeps. I am not opposed to polite dogs sleeping in my room with me. My dogs are still puppies and keep me up all night when I try to get them to sleep with me so they are still crated at night. Time I'll spend with your dog I walk the dogs morning and night on the days I work. On my days off I usually walk more often. I spend a lot of time with them outside when the weather is nice. If your dogs likes to run even better. I love having a running partner.
