Pet care experience

Rescue & Vet Experienced Pet Sitter

I’ve had pets my entire life and have been pet sitting for 3 years. I also have extensive animal care experience through 4 years of volunteering with Cat Adoption Team and 5 years with HUNAH, a herding dog rescue, where I also helped host donation drives. Additionally, I spent 2 years shadowing at a veterinary clinic. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different ages, personalities, and needs, and I always treat every animal with patience, attention, and care.

Isabella was very flexible and accommodated my last minute requests. She followed my directions as needed. Roux is easily frightened by strangers, but she has been patient with him. I would definitely recommend her!

Isabella was fantastic! She stopped by twice to check in and play with our cat, and you could tell she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after.. not just a quick in-and-out. Our cat was happy and well taken care of the whole time. Isabella had no issues getting into our apartment while we were not there which was so amazing and stress free!! Would absolutely recommend Isabella to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive cat sitter, and we'll definitely be booking her again

Isabella took care of my two dogs when my husband and I had to be gone all day at a wedding, and my younger dog was only 8 months old and couldn't handle being home alone that long yet. She did a fantastic job making sure they were happy and had what they needed! She even took them both on a walk to get their energy out! I would hire her again knowing my dogs adore her!

Isabella comes from the most pet-positive family I know! She has always lived with dogs and cats, and will give yours loving attention and worry-free care while you're away from home.

Isabella was great with Curley! She was able to feed him and help burn off some of his puppy energy while we were gone for the day. She treated our home with respect as well. She was very flexible to our requests and Curley’s routine.

Schedule

I’m currently taking online classes, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week. I also have a part time internship for about 2 hours, two days a week. Outside of those commitments, I have plenty of availability for walks, drop ins, house sitting, and spending quality time with pets. I’m happy to work around each pet’s individual routine and needs.

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize safety, communication, and keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and routines, including feeding, walks, medications if needed, and other care requirements. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and other safety details, and I’ll keep owners updated so they know their pets are safe and doing well.

A typical day

I love keeping pets both physically and mentally engaged! Depending on their personality and energy level, we might go for walks, play with their favorite toys, practice enrichment games, explore outside, or simply relax together. I’ll always follow their normal routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection

I’d love to know about your pet’s personality, routine, likes and dislikes, and any special needs or behaviors before their stay. Please let me know about medications, dietary restrictions, separation anxiety, reactivity, fears, or anything else that will help me provide the best care possible. I’m happy to accommodate individual needs and routines.
