Dogs over 1 year old

Availability

Thankfully, pet care fits naturally into my routine. As a busy grad student, I am highly organized and plan my weeks in advance. This allows me to reliably commit to overnight stays, drop-in visits, and walks. Caring for pets is something I intentionally make time for, as it can be grounding for me, and is something I genuinely have always enjoyed doing. I am dependable with time and commitments, and will only accept booking I know I can prioritize and fully commit to.

Safety, trust & environment

I primarily offer pet care in clients’ homes, helping ensure pets remain comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, and if applicable, walks, medication, playtime, litter box care, and any household guidelines. I give pets affection, attention, and enrichment based on their needs, making sure to update with messages and photos. I am extremely mindful of being respectful in the home, keeping the space clean and safe, along with your pet!

Information Isabella M. would like to know about your pet

It is helpful to know your pet’s daily routine, feeding schedule, leash behavior, and any medical needs or medications. I also appreciate information about their temperament, energy level, and how they do around other animals and people. Please let me know about any anxieties, triggers, or special preferences (favorite toys, sleeping spots, or treats). The more I know, the better I can provide care that feels familiar and comfortable for your pet.

A typical day

My days are structured and planned around my school and internship schedule, allowing for consistency when for pets. I start and end each day with scheduled pet time, including feeding, play, walks, and checking in. If applicable, fun activities with pets include walks, playing outside, or simply companionship, especially with older or calmer pets. I focus on maintaining routine so they feel comfortable in their own environment. I give pets affection, attention, and enrichment based on their needs, making sure to update with messages and photos.

Young professional who loves pets!

Pet care experience

As a current graduate student in social work, I bring empathy, patience, and responsibility to every pet I care for. I have lifelong experience with dogs and cats, through both personal familial experience and through pet sitting for multiple clients, each with different needs, routines, and personalities. I am attentive to detail and behavior, am experienced with maintaining schedules, following instruction, and communicating clearly. I prioritize being respectful of both pets and their homes, and as a busy grad school student without a pet, love treating each pet with love as if it were my own.

Isabella is wonderful! She is caring thorough and professional. This was my first time using her services and I would highly recommend her. Jasper and Jab were happy and content when I returned home.

Isabella is GREAT! She has dog sat for me countless times and I never have to worry about my pup while I am away. She is extremely communicative and always takes the best care of my dog. My dog is a rescue and Isabella is very aware and knows how to navigate all of my dogs' weird quirks. Highly recommend.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
