Compassionate animal caregiver

Pet care experience

taking care of animals is my passion in life! I grew up taking care of my neighbour's pets until finally I had my first dog of my own. Since then I have had two dogs and cats and I currently have one elderly cat (the cute orange boy in my pictures!). Through this time I have continued pet sitting for friends and family. I tend to have an instant connection with animals. My love for animals does not stop just with taking care of pets. I studied animal welfare in university as well as I am hoping to open an animal sanctuary of my own one day. In light of this I spent 6 months working on an animal sanctuary where I took care of cats, dogs, pigs, chickens, cows and goats! I also have a large amount of experience working with dogs from working at doggy daycare. Through my experiences I have learnt to handle pets of all sizes and personalities, as well as provide specific care that meets each animals needs. I have also gained skills in administration of medication for animals and dealing with emergency situations. I offer dog walking, cat walking ( I have trained both my cats to walk on and off leash!), and personalized house visits to meet the needs of each clients ensuring your pet is as happy as can be while you are away!

I've known Isabella for a while now and I can confidently say that she is the most caring peer I've met towards animals. Unfortunately, I do not own a pet so Isabella hasn't been able to show her love to my own pet. However, I've seen how she treats her own dog, our friend's pets, and animals we see together in the streets. From what I've seen it would be a tough job for Rover to find another person to approach pets as loving and caring as Isabella. Besides, the animals we see in our daily lives, Isabella's care towards all animals can be seen from her diet. Beeing a vegan, she stands against any form of cruelty against any animal for any reason. I would not miss the opportunity to employ a candidate such as Isabella.

Izzy has cared for her dog for the past 7 years and makes sure Cookie is regularly walked, groomed and fed. Izzy warms quickly to other people's dogs like my Mothers. Izzy is a dedicated vegan who is passionate about the well being of people and pets she spends time with

Isabella is an exceptionally responsible person who enjoys being around dogs. She has taken care of my dog numerous times, walking, feeding and playing with her! I would highly recommend her for all pet sitting needs.
