Pet care experience
I have extensive knowledge of training and handling all breeds, and am very experienced in caring for sick and elderly animals, as well as socializing youngsters. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes! Previously, I worked as a behavioral consultant and humane educator at an animal shelter for 5 years, which included obedience and agility training side by side with socialization for shelter dogs in an effort to increase their adoptability. As a result, I have extensive experience with both socialization and animal handling at all levels. I have been house sitting off and on for the past 8 years, taking care of aging or sick animals side by side with healthy youngsters. I know it's important to address the needs of each dog depending on its personality, fitness level, and stage of life. I care a great deal about animal health - both mental and physical (a tired dog is a happy dog!), and owner peace of mind (missing your dog? ask for a pic!). I love working with dogs of all sizes, and have a particular soft spot for bullies and mutts.
Reviews
Isabel was great! This was my first time using Rover and everything was perfect. Rover was easy to use. Isabel was reliable, sweet to the dogs, and responsive! I would definitley use her again!
Isabel went above and beyond, we wouldn't hesitate having her take care of things if we go away in the future. Our dog Willie whole heartedly agrees!
Isabel is an energetic dog lover. She has logged in many hours at the local shelter and her knowledge of dog behavior is amazing. She is reliable and trustworthy. Our dog absolutely loves her and looks forward to when she takes care of him. I would recommend her in a heart-beat.
