Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Pet, Treated Like My Own
I have over 7 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from energetic puppies to older dogs needing extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable with different routines and personalities, and I always focus on keeping pets safe, calm, and well cared for. I’m best suited for clients who can book in advance or have some flexibility with timing. I keep my calendar updated and only accept bookings I can fully commit to, so you can rely on dependable, attentive care and regular updates while you’re away.

Isabella also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets in their own homes because I know they’re usually most comfortable in their familiar environment. Before a booking, I really appreciate when owners leave a detailed list of instructions for me. This can include everything about their pet’s routine, but also things about the home that I need to know, like where to park, how to get inside, a key or door code, apartment access, or anything else that will make the visit go smoothly. I follow your instructions closely and want to keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible while you’re away. I also send lots of photos during every visit because I know how reassuring it is to actually see your pet while you’re gone. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable in their own home and for you to feel completely comfortable having me care for them.
Ratings and reviews
Isabella did a great job with our dog and cat. She sent lots of photos and left our house just as we had left it!
She was great, Apollo really doesn't like anyone thats not in the family but he really warmed up to her, I was worried about him but he was great. She played and cuddled with them and even sent me pictures. Bear is young so he held back but she never gave up on him. he finally came around and she played with him and made sure they went out in the back yard to go to bathroom and play time. When we are in San Antonio again we will be getting her again. She was sweet, nice and loved my dogs.
Isabella was the first person I booked from rover and was such a big help staying with dogs during the hours I need her for. She treated my dogs like they were hers and always made sure to update me when they went out on their walks and potty breaks. I highly recommend her, she is very reliable.
Isabella did such a phenomenal job during the duration of her overnight stay with our sweet boy, Bentley. We thank you so much for everything that she did . She really made us feel at ease with keeping us updated throughout her stay, sending us pictures , following all instructions we had given to her and left our place just as we left it! Bentley seemed at peace when we returned home this morning as if we had never left! We are so grateful for Isabella and for being such an amazing caretaker. We will most definitely be using her in the future and would recommend her overnight stay , or any pet sitting services she offers, to anyone! Thank you again, Isabella!!We are so so grateful for you and for taking such phenomenal care of our sweet boy. My heart is full ❤️
Isabella was great. Even though we were vacationing somewhere with no Wi-fi or cell coverage, when we did go into town, we got a ton of messages and photos from her. So we knew our pet was well-taken care of. I'm grateful she gave our dog so much love and attention in our absence.
Really great job with my dog. If you need a great sitter definitely one of the best I’ve used!

Schedule
I’m currently a full-time college student, so my schedule is a little more limited during the week. Monday–Thursday, I’m usually busy from late morning through the late afternoon because of classes, so I’m mainly available in the mornings, evenings, and on Fridays and weekends. Because of my class schedule, I do need to be mindful of the location of bookings and how much time I can realistically spend with your pet. I want to make sure I can give every pet the attention they deserve rather than rushing back and forth between school and a booking. I keep my calendar updated and only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to. My goal is to make sure your pet gets quality care, not just a quick visit squeezed into my schedule
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbsIsabella can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
- Before booking, I’d love to know about anything important that could affect your pet’s care. This includes medications, allergies, medical conditions, anxiety, fears, or anything they may be sensitive to. I’d also like to know if they have any behaviors I should be prepared for, like being nervous around new people, not getting along with other animals, or being protective of certain things. I also really appreciate knowing the little things that make your pet them—what they love, what they don’t like, and anything that helps them feel comfortable. I’d much rather know too much ahead of time than not know something important.
