Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring Vet Assistant & Animal Lover
I’m an Animal Science / Pre-Veterinary student at Michigan State University with over three years of hands-on experience working in a veterinary clinic. I’ve completed multiple courses in animal health, care, management, and handling, along with lab-based experience that has strengthened my practical skills. What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and my training in recognizing subtle behavioral or health changes, allowing me to respond quickly and responsibly if something seems off. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and temperaments, including energetic puppies and senior pets who may need extra attention, routine, or medication. I also have years of experience caring for my own two dogs, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. Caring for animals genuinely makes my day, and I treat every pet as if they were my own providing attentive, loving, and reliable care every time. I am currently on summer break from school and would love to fill my time caring for your pets while you are away!

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely so pets feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any specific instructions provided, because consistency is key to a pet’s well-being. With my background as a veterinary assistant, I’m trained to notice changes in behavior or health and to respond calmly and responsibly if anything seems off. I treat every home with respect by keeping things clean, secure, and exactly as I found them. I also believe communication is essential, so I provide regular updates, photos, and messages for peace of mind. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, cared for, and genuinely happy and for you to feel completely confident while you’re away.
Ratings and reviews
The week went great! Thank you, Bella!
Isabella was a wonderful sitter for our Gracie! Great communication including fun pics of our little girl pup. Isabella followed instructions well, too, and was both accommodating and caring of making sure that Gracie got her meals each day and enjoyed some long walks.keeping us updated while we were away was especially appreciated. Hire her! You won't regret it. The fact that she is a vet assistant was a definite plus.
Isabella was so kind to our cats and attentive to all the details of their care. She was on time every time and communicated frequently about any variations in time as well as how the cats were doing. I would definitely recommend her to take good care of your pets!

Schedule
Pet care is a natural and consistent part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for so they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and quality time each day—not just quick check-ins. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or calm companionship, I make sure each pet’s needs are fully met. As an Animal Science / Pre-Veterinary student, caring for animals is already central to my life. I’m comfortable maintaining routines, following specific instructions, and prioritizing each pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being while their owners are away.

- It’s important for me to know your pet’s daily routine, personality, likes and dislikes, and any special needs they may have. I also ask about medical conditions, medications, triggers (like fear of loud noises or other animals), and how they typically behave around new people. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for just like they are at home.
