Cat skills

Oral medication administration

Safety, trust & environment

One of my cats can be pretty weary of new people, so I understand the importance of a recurring and reliable cat sitter. I’m looking forward to helping other families with their cat care, especially for cats that might need more consistent visits!

Information Isabel Z. would like to know about your pet

If a cat is particularly shy or has a go-to hiding spot, let me know! I know some cats need some extra time to adjust to new people.

A typical day

I love interacting with cats and getting to know their personalities! My cats enjoy being brushed, chasing wand toys, and making biscuits, so I’m happy to play with them during visits.

Responsible Cat Parent

Cat care experience

I’ve been raising my own two cats, Felix and Bijoux, for nine years! I adopted Felix from the Humane Society shortly after she went through a surgery to repair damage from urinary stones, so I understand the importance of a prescription diet and a clean litter box. I also have experience with administering medicine, whether that’s through a sneaky pill pocket treat or a syringe. Our home is wonderfully full with two incredible cats, so I’m looking forward to meeting other cats to love on and take care of through Rover!

Isabel was amazing with our cats! Super communicative and went above and beyond to make sure our anxious cat was cared for while we were out of town. Also shared a bunch of fun photos to keep us updated. Would definitely recommend!

I went out of the country for two weeks, the longest I’ve ever been away from my baby, and Isabel made it so much easier for me. She was very sweet and attentive during her visits. She sent detailed reports every time, along with many cute pics. She was always available to communicate with and gave me the sense of a true animal lover. She made a great effort to get to know my pet and give him what he needed. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a fur-babysitter!

Isabel was great! Highly recommended, she spent quality time with the girls and got them to feel comfy while I was away. Don’t hesitate, book now!

Isabel will forever be my favorite person/sitter on this app! She takes such great care of my girls. I had to leave town suddenly due to a family emergency and she was, not only flexible and available, but went above and beyond to ease my mind while I was out. She writes thorough updates with plenty of pictures each visit. I tend to be an anxious person, especially surrounding my girls, but I don’t have an ounce of worry when Isabel cares for them. Highly, highly recommend!!!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
