Energetic dog watcher for all pups

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Isabella, and I am a huge animal lover. Im currently living in a 4br and bath student apartment with 4 of my friends in Gainesville, and transportations never an issue. I have a Catahoula named Brody, very gentle giant, and my roommate has a shitzu. They get along great! Both very friendly. Pups will have access to the whole house, unless I'm away and depending on different circumstances. I’m currently working and in school, I study a lot of dog psychology and hope in the future to expand in this field and become a dog trainer or wildlife rehabilitator. Im patient, very clean, organized, and great with pups of all energy levels! I have experience with reactive dogs, senior dogs, puppies, etc. I love spending time and working with dogs so this rarely feels like work, if you’re in need of a walker, sitter, or boarding please message me!

Isabella was great with Bailee & Sky! Will definitely be reaching back out for other bookings.

Would definitely recommend! She made sure my pup was loved & well taken care of all weekend. She went above and beyond to send pictures and to make sure Bella was on the right potty schedule. Bella & I look forward to using Isabella again!

Isabella was so great watching my dog while I was out of town! She was extremely patient and understanding with my anxious pup and spent time trying to make my dog feel comfortable. Isabella was responsible and trustworthy throughout the whole process, I would definitely recommend!

I have never picked Gracie up from care before and found her so relaxed and peaceful. I believe she would have stayed with Isabella forever. I will continue to use Isabella when I go away. Gracie loves her.

I’m an early riser so my usually routine for house sitting/ boarding is breakfast and morning walk around 8-9, potty break every 4 hours, I’ll try to play with the dogs a few times a day and fit in a 45 minute destress walk where they can sniff and do their own thing on a longer lead. Dinner is usually around 7 or I’ll follow the feeding instructions I’m given.

Information Isabella J. would like to know about your pet

Any behavior problems, leash reactivity, insecurities, and triggers. I’m very flexible and confident dealing with dogs. As long as I’m given warning I can work around issues and it helps me make the pooches more comfortable.

A typical day

I take my dog to loblolly every other day, and if the client comfortable I’m happy to take pups on adventures with me. In my home I’ll take them to the bark park, or tru to accommodate in the clients home for some similar substitute. I also use a lot of enrichment toys where they can sniff and work through puzzles towards their reward.
