Pet care experience

Your pet’s new best friend! ❤️

Hi! I’m Izzy. I am an NYC native and animal enthusiast! I hold a Red Cross Animal First Aid/CPR Certification and am experienced in giving your furry friends medication orally, or via liquid/injection. I have worked mainly with senior pets, but am open to working with lovelies of all ages! By day, I am a law firm receptionist. I will therefore need to be out of the house between 8:30-4:30 during all weekday bookings. If you want constant care for your pet, I recommend booking me over a weekend!

Safety, trust & environment

I provide gentle, engaged care for pets, focused on learning specifically about each pet’s unique personality and needs. For any housesitting requests, I’ll ask plenty of questions during the M&G to ensure I’m taking care of your home the way you want me to, as well. All pets deserve the world, and I just want to make sure they’re comfortable and happy!

House Sitting • Jul 13, 2026

Izzy was a very attentive and communicative sitter. When my cat had an unfortunately timed flare up of chronic skin issues, I got daily updates on medicine application and photos of the affected area. Messages were frequent and detailed, and I returned home to some happy cats and a clean apartment.

I've only ever seen and heard good things about Isabel and her care for pets. I would absolutely love for her to petsit for me again! It was an all around amazing experience. Thank you, Isabel!

Isabel was very communicative, which put us at ease during our travels. She always answered quickly and was very thorough in her inquiries about our pet's preferences and habits. While we were away she would send pictures and anecdotes from our cat, which we loved recieving! Our cat is very skiddish, but Isabel gained her trust and by the end of her time our cat would wait for her impatiently at the door! When we got home we found our cat happy and well-fed. We highly recommend Isabel!

Isabel took great care of my cat Leonard one weekend! Leonard absolutely adored her and didn’t want to see her go when it was time for her to leave.

Isabel is one of the most caring pet sitters I know! She’s incredibly attentive to my cat’s needs and is very communicative with me whenever I am out of town. My cat even chirps whenever I say her name! I always know I can count on her. Your furry friend is in good hands with her!

I’m a full-time receptionist, but can definitely be flexible around my day job schedule with proper notice! I love taking care of pets as it’s a complete pivot from my normal monotony, and it feeds into my love of animals.
