Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets mainly in your home, I find it easiest because some pets can get flustered in new environments. I strive to get to know them and build trust by being in their home turf to see all their favorite toys, and where they feel most comfortable. I look forward to seeing how they play and grow at their most comfortable!

Information Isabella F. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog or cat has any special medical needs, or if they are more high energy than others-I’ll know just what to do!

A typical day

A typical day would involve going for a walk if they’re a dog, and maybe playing games together if they’re a cat. With cats I love to get to know them first and give them plenty of pets and hugs, if they’re up for it! With dogs I’d love to spend time at a local park and play frisbee, or let them run around in the field!

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs, big and small alike all my life. I grew up with a boxer and a golden retriever in the home so I’m accustomed to the joy of having pets in the house. More recently I’ve pet sat for families who have homes in Europe, and would go visit during the holidays. I’ve been caring for this elderly dog in particular for over 10 years. He’s a sweet tempered dog but takes medicine everyday so I’ve become well adept at hiding his meds inconspicuously to get him to eat it without any problems. I also love working with puppies and find that caring for younger dogs is a lot of fun, and is exciting too! I love aussies, border collies, and spaniels but find that I can get along with just about any breed. I’m the type of person to always stop to ask to pet your dog on walks, and love showering dogs with affection and love. One of my favorite past times, is letting a dog run free off leash, and play frisbee with him or her. I’d love to provide loving, friendly, and fun care to your furry friend and I look forward to our first paw-shake! Currently in school, but available after and before classes start-and free on weekends!

Isabella went above and beyond in her care for Petunia, and left the house in perfect condition! My cat was extremely content when I arrived home, as if I had never left. Can’t recommend Isabella enough. Very friendly and easy to communicate with as well!!

Isabella was so great with Alfie! She communicated well, kept me updated with photos, and most importantly Alfie loves her. He’s recently rescued and has some quirks and she kept me updated on his progress and any issues he had. She stayed with him at my apartment for about a week and when I came back the apartment was cleaner than I left it. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
