Highlights
Pet care experience
Friendly, available & experienced!
Having had a number of pets my entire life, (hamsters, fish, dogs!), my love for animals has been such a huge part of my existence. This has continued into adulthood, with my family having a litter of puppies which we took care of, living with my partner who has cats and dogs and enjoying caring for both our families pets as well as friends and extended family. House and pet sitting is something I have continued to grow over the last year, having been to many different countries, I have used Trusted Housesitters whilst living in Australia, building up a number of reviews and experiences with cats and dogs, both senior and medicated to young and energetic! Primarily outside of family animal care, all pet sitting I have done has been day and night care, boarding and daily check ins. I am an avid walker and garden lover, and enjoy spending my days reading, exercising and in the sunshine. I enjoy looking after pets this way as we get to spend ample time together and it is hugely beneficial to both of us. I am primarily based in Shrewsbury and am open to pet sitting of all ages and breed.

Safety, trust & environment
I will always stick to the requirements of pet owners when offering a service at a pet owners home. I always try to stick to the pets routine, where possible, including feeding, medication and walking (if needed) routines. If the garden is safe for use for pet play then this will be a great space to use, if animal care needs to be outside of the house this is also taken into account. I always strive to maintain morning and evening routines and care with regular toilet breaks, bedtime routines and sticking with bedtime rules (such as where the pet sleeps). For overnight sits I am more than happy if the pet sleeps on the bed - whatever the pets preference I am happy with! For dog walking services, I will always respect lead use unless specified by owner specifically, it is my duty that the pet is returned safe and sound so my preference is always to remain on the lead unless specified by owner
Ratings and reviews
Isabella came in for 3 days for a last minute booking and really helped us out, she kept us updated with our cats day to day activities and photos! Would recommend her to anyone. Thanks Isabella!
Massive thank you to Isabella who fitted me and Hazel in last minute! Fab at communicating and loved the updates (especially as I know Hazel can be a little stand-offish at times!). Could not recommend more, and will for sure be a first port of call should I need cat care again.
Izzy is a really lovely person, she was very polite and instantly loved our 2 cocker spaniels Freya and Winnie and they loved her, she was great at communicating with pics every day and made us feel our girls were completely in safe hands, she left our home really tidy , we highly recommend her dog sitting skills.
Isabella has always cared for my cat and dog (Oscar and Chug) to a high standard, offering friendly and safe care whenever they are walked or during overnight sits! She regularly takes them for routine walks, playing and giving care overnight. Our home is always left clean and tidy. They are always excited to see her, having warmed to her instantly from day one and have always enjoyed time spent in her care. We have always trusted Isabella with any medication needs and have always found her reliable and communicative throughout her sits.
Izzy is a responsible and caring pet sitter (and a lovely person in general). Izzy has looked after my animals whilst I’ve been on holiday many times these past years, she took great care of my two dogs, my cat and my chickens. I always feel that my animals are in good hands, and I am able to go away worry-free. Izzy also always leaves my house clean and it is a pleasure to have her!
