Pet care experience
My dream as a young child was to grow up to be a veterinarian. I've always loved animals of all types, and despite my parents' reservations, was blessed to experience growing up with both a dog and a cat. I have experience working in a vet boarding kennel, where I learned how to fully bathe and groom dogs, including nail trimming and anal gland release. We walked dogs every day and played with them to help with their socialization. Although my original dream of becoming a veterinarian has diverted into other ventures, I still feel passionately about animals and enjoy spending time with them. I recently have become interested in animal communication after some wonderful sessions with animal psychics, and I am working on expounding upon my understanding of animal needs and desires through gentle meditation and more time spent understanding their body language and natural forms of communicating with us humans.
Reviews
Isabella was so sweet to our senior dog. We came home to a calm and happy dog and couldn’t be happier. Isabella was so kind and willing to be flexible when we were a bit concerned the weather might delay our return. We will absolutely ask her to watch Percy again.
Isabella was great- super responsive, sent tons of photos and updates and the dogs seemed to really love her! Would definitely recommend her for any pet care needs!
Isabella checked in on my cat for two days - she was super responsive and kind throughout the entire process! I’d definitely recommend her and will be hiring her next time I’m out of town. :) thank you Isabella!
Isabella does a wonderful job and is very reliable. She really cares about your pets. She is an animal lover through and through!

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
A safe environment is the most important thing that we can offer to our pets. I am unable to offer care within my own home, since I am a renter and my cats run this place, so I am dedicated to respecting the boundaries of your home and your pets innate needs regarding their sense of safety and security. I believe it's important to send routine updates via videos/pictures/written communication, and I would rather ask for extra clarification about a pet's needs rather than try to figure it out myself. Communication is #1!
Information Isabella C. would like to know about your pet
I prefer to know what style of leash we will be using, any specifics about the dog's walking needs, any training that is being worked on, any specific commands that are used, etc.
A typical day
I love walking around the neighborhood! I am a very patient dog walker and realize that part of the thrill is allowing the dog time to sniff and enjoy the smells outside. No rush here.

Availability
I work part time at one of the local hospitals, 3 days/week. I work the evening shift (3-11:30pm), which frees me up for morning and day time drop-ins, almost always. My schedule at the hospital is flexible-- I work every other weekend, and then random days throughout the week. If it's too much for me to be gone for a full 9 hours, I can usually try to swap shifts at the hospital in order to make housesitting work. :) Otherwise, requests that fall on my weekend/days off I am always open for!
