Pet care experience

From Scrubs to Snuggles 🐾♥️

Hey — I’m Izzy 😊 I’m a full-time Veterinary Assistant who also provides loving, personalized in-home care for your fur babies! My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I provide attentive, detail-oriented care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and needs, with plenty of updates and photos along the way so you can feel confident they’re happy, safe, and well cared for 🤍 A little about me: I graduated from ISU with my bachelor’s in Molecular and Cellular Biology. During and after graduating, I gained medical experience as a clinical pharmacy technician and EMT — all while providing pet care throughout the Bloomington-Normal community. Since early 2025, I’ve been pursuing my passion for veterinary medicine as a full-time Veterinary Assistant, with Vet School on the horizon 🏥🐕🐈‍⬛ I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and life stages — from 5 week old kittens to a 19 year old senior pup and everything in between. With veterinary experience, I can also confidently care for pets with medical needs that require a little extra attention and patience. As a pet parent myself, I’ve had the joy of sharing my life with a pair of spunky Shih Tzus, a snuggly Pitty, a sassy domestic shorthair cat, twin dwarf hamsters, and a few non-mammalian pets along the way 😊 These days, I am happy to share my life with my big boy Brutus - my lovable, goofy pup and the biggest snuggle bug 🐶❤️

Safety, trust & environment

While I don’t currently offer services in my own home, I’m more than happy to come to you! Most pets feel most comfortable in their familiar environment and routine - especially when their favorite human is away! I will always do my best to support the routine that supports them ♡

Izzy took great care of my dog and house while I was traveling for a week. She provided me a great peace of mind and communication was easy and quick to respond. I highly recommend her and would use her again!

Izzy was absolutely terrific. Shortly before our first scheduled overnight visit, we unfortunately had to put our 12 year GSD down. Izzy went above and beyond when she heard of the news to help us find a warm place to say our final goodbyes. She then did an amazing job watching our other two pups and helped eased our worries and anxiety leaving them after losing their sibling. We came back to two smiling pups.

Izzy took great care of our dogs! She was communicative and thoughtful throughout the entire weekend. She even went the extra mile to make our dogs some special treats, which they loved. We will gladly use Izzy for our pet sitting needs in the future!

To help me provide the best care possible, please share the following: How would you describe their personality and temperament? How do they typically feel around new people, and what helps them feel comfortable? What is their usual baseline daily routine (feeding schedule, potty breaks, bedtime)? Are there any medical conditions, allergies, medications, or special care instructions? Are there any commands, cues, or boundaries they are used to - like feeding release words or off-limit furniture? Do they have any fears, triggers, or behavioral quirks I should be aware of? What activities, toys, or treats do they love most?
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.
