Pet care experience
For as long as I can remember, I’ve had some sort of cat or dog that I’ve had to care for (not that I minded of course). Currently, I am lucky enough to have a sweet ten-year-old German Shepard/Black Lab mix named Ziggy and an energetic eighteen-month-old Ragdoll named Lebowski, but I also took care of my first cat Matisse all the way up to his last days at the ripe old age of fifteen. So I’ve been around the block with both young and old pets, just to list a few. Also, I have caught and successfully set free a baby squirrel. Surprisingly complicated, but still a victory in my book.
Reviews
Isabella did a wonderful job watching our 6 year old dog and 6 month old puppy in our home for 10 days. She kept us updated with texts and pictures which gave us peace of mind that all was well. The puppy is a handful (what 6 month old pup isn't lol) and she handled him with grace and humor. She even worked on his manners training so his rules were consistent. So important with a pup! Our 6 yr old was also well cared for and she followed his routine so he was comfortable. He can be very shy and she was super patient with him. We came home to our house as we left it which is always wonderful. We will certainly reach out to Isabella next time we are traveling!
Isabella seemed very attentive to Zoey ad my nervousness in leaving her. She sent my a few pictures and everything seemed to go well. I wouldn't hesitate to use Isabella again should the need arise.
Isabella was able to come over prior to us leaving to review all our pets needs. I didn’t have to repeat myself and never felt worried that she would forget something. This is big considering it was the first time she cared for our animals in a home she was never at. She was flexible, communicated with us the whole time we were gone and followed directions to a t. Will be using again and recommending to family and friends!
Isabella stayed at my house and watched my GoldenDoodle Penny for 3 days. It was my first time leaving Penny and Isabella took away the stress from me being away from my puppy. She sent me lots of photos and updates . I will definitely call on her in the future when I have to leave Penny again.
About Isabella S.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
As long as clear instructions are provided if your pet needs certain medications at a specific time or a set walk schedule, I’m happy to do whatever is needed. And yes, this includes cleaning up any accidents that may happen along the way.
Information Isabella S. would like to know about your pet
As mentioned before, I have experience caring for elderly animals and am not afraid to clean up after them or help out with any medication they might need. I just need to know proper instructions beforehand. When it comes to any information about breeds, I’m really not bothered by any in particular, I’m just a small person so that might be something you’d want to keep in mind if your dog is particularly big/rowdy. One of the dogs I did work with in the past was over a hundred pounds, though!
A typical day
I firmly believe that long walks and playtime isn’t just good for our dogs, it’s also good for us too! So I will be happy to get to know your animals and their favorite things to do to ensure they have a fun and productive day.

Availability
Since this is my job at the moment while I work towards becoming a dog trainer, I am free all throughout the week majority of the time, but I still would appreciate it if anyone who’s looking to meet/have me work with their pet(s) took the time to plan things ahead just so nothing clashes with any other scheduled appointments. However, I do completely understand that sometimes things have to be booked last minute! :)
