Isabella took wonderful care of Stella for almost two weeks, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. As a newer rescue (she's a German Shepherd/Pit mix, still settling into her routines), I was nervous about leaving her for that long, but she put me completely at ease. She sent regular updates and photos, which meant a lot. When I picked Stella up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for — tired in the best way, like she'd had two great weeks of exercise and attention. I'd trust Isabella with Stella again without hesitation, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a boarder who genuinely loves dogs.

Isabella was amazing! She was highly communicative and made sure Ember had the absolute best time. I was away for the week and was nervous leaving her for so long, but Isabella did a wonderful job making sure Ember was well cared for and keeping me updated on how she was. I came home to a very happy pup!

The sitter was pleasant and communicative throughout our interactions. However, I would not book with her again. My senior dog’s care needs, including his diaper use and mobility limitations, were fully disclosed and discussed before the booking was accepted. Despite this, she asked to end the stay just two days into what was supposed to be a 1.5-week booking because of issues related to those same disclosed needs. I was out of the country at the time, so being forced to find a new sitter on extremely short notice was incredibly stressful and put me in a very difficult situation. If a sitter is not comfortable caring for a senior dog with special needs, that should be determined before accepting the booking, not after the stay has already begun.
