Highlights
Pet care experience
All Creatures, Expertly Adored! 🐾
Hi, I’m Ella! I grew up on a ranch, and I’ve cared for animals of all personalities, sizes, and species since I was very young. I’ve been housesitting on Rover since May 2025. I had Star Sitter status until I took a long hiatus for travel and to move from Austin to DFW! Regarding pups, I’ve been personally responsible for everything from Great Danes and Newfoundlands to Labradoodles, Dachshunds, and Chihuahua mixes. I also love cats— until college, I’d never lived without them, and have enjoyed all the time I’ve gotten to spend catsitting while away from home. I have a 13-year-old Green Cheek Conure (Tiki) I adopted when I was eleven, and he’s been my baby ever since. I have experience pet-sitting other birds and am very familiar with their specific needs. I am also comfortable with horses and equine-care. I graduated from UT in Biology in 2025, and adore all animals— snakes, rodents, and everything in between. Feel free to message me with any specific questions! I’d be honored to care for any of your furry, feathery, or slithery friends. If you need flexibility regarding total sitting costs, please reach out! Rover now takes 30% of proceeds for new clients, so my rates are a bit higher than usual.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I can’t board animals in my current accommodations, but will happily take care of your pets in their own comfy space. I will of course treat your home with the same respect I’d treat my own— if your pup or cat has an accident, it’ll be thoroughly cleaned. If your bird flings fruit on the ground, that’ll be handled too. If there’s some sort of issue, you’ll be contacted ASAP.
Ratings and reviews
Isabella was truly great with the babies! The warmed up to her right away.
Isabella did a great job taking care of our cat for almost 2 weeks. she was communicative and responsive. Our cat loved her! Highly recommend her. Thank you for easing our anxiety about motor.
I can’t express how grateful we are for Isabella’s exceptional house and dog-sitting services! She house sat for us for a week, and we were truly impressed with the level of care she provided, especially for our anxious and timid dog, Queso. Isabella went above and beyond to make sure Queso felt comfortable and safe. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she has a genuine love for animals. She took the time to understand Queso's unique needs and created a soothing environment that helped our pup come out of her shell. Our home was kept immaculate, and we received regular updates and adorable photos, which put our minds at ease while we were away. Isabella’s dedication and attention to detail made our time away worry-free. We returned home to a happy and relaxed Queso, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Isabella to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter. Thank you, Isabella, for giving us peace of mind and taking such wonderful care of our beloved dog!
She was amazing! Definitely requesting her again
Ella was super professional, great with my kitties, and very respectful of my home. I will book her again for future trips and would recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and caring sitter.
We are really grateful for Isabella. She was prompt, communicative and really friendly. We are excited for her to watch our pup again in the near future.

Schedule
I’m pursuing a masters in counseling psychology, and am in class Mondays and Wednesdays. I am available for housesitting on those days, but will not be able to complete care tasks within the 9am-5pm window. Early morning and evening care is still doable! Please inquire regarding your specific situation.
