Professional Stand-In Owner

Pet care experience

I grew up on a farm in rural Virginia, I never had fewer than 2 dogs and 5 cats around my home growing up. We fostered quite often, I even helped several momma cats have their kittens! I have raised chickens and guinea pigs as well, and have a passion for the odder pets to, fish, birds, reptiles, amphibians.. even bugs! If you can think of a pet Ive probably cared for one. Pet sitting for my neighbors was my first job starting when I was just a pup myself about 8 or 9. I raised my first puppy (Colby Jack Cheese) around the same time. I volunteered at our local animal shelter starting age 11. Im also very comfortable with dogs and cats who are elderly and/or take medications, and I pride myself in my ability to make your pet feel safe and sound, it is my utmost priority. Warning though, I will love your pet like they are own! :)

Thank you, Isabella, for taking care of my kitty! (And winning her trust… on selected days, haha)

Isabella was fantastic! Very well detail oriented and always willing to inform me of the tasks needed for the day. I came home from a week long trip with a healthy happy kitty and a well taken care of home!❤️

I will treat your home with only the utmost respect, and make sure your pet is as comfortable and relaxed as possible, besides missing their parents of course! Im also more than willing to take care of any plants/fish/small pets if you just leave instructions for their care with me.

Information Isabella D. would like to know about your pet

The more information I have, the better I will be able to customize my care to fit your critter specifically! There is no detail too small. Some questions I typically ask are, is your dog anxious or reactive? If so what are they reactive to? How long does your dog like to walk? Or play? What are your pet's favorite toys/games? Do they get treats? How often and what kinds are ok? Does your pet need medication or any other special care? Is your pet afraid of anything like storms or loud noises? Any information you have Id love to know it! I want to know your pet as well as possible to make sure they feel safe and comfortable with me :)

A typical day

I love to take dogs on walks in natural areas, if theres a park near you that is typically where I head! Im also comfortable with pets who cant go exploring the big wide world though, and am just as happy to play fetch in your yard, or tug and belly rubs in the living room! Enrichment is my goal and I wont rest until I find the best way to give your pet the best day possible! :)
