Availability
Pet care is a meaningful part of my daily routine. I start each morning with a walk or play session—it’s a great way to connect and set a positive tone for the day. Throughout the day, I build in time for feeding, potty breaks, and check-ins to ensure pets feel safe and cared for. On weekends or evenings, I prioritize longer walks, enrichment, and cuddles. Whether I’m balancing research or writing as a PhD student, I make sure pets in my care are always a top priority. Their routine becomes part of mine.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and pet-friendly environment—whether in my home or a client’s. I follow each pet’s routine closely, from feeding schedules to preferred walking routes and play styles. I take time to build trust, especially with shy or anxious pets, using patience and positive reinforcement. Safety is always top of mind: I double-check leashes and gates, avoid off-leash situations unless in fully enclosed areas, and monitor for any signs of stress or discomfort. I also provide regular updates to give pet parents peace of mind. My goal is to make every pet feel at home, secure, and loved.
Information Isabelle L. would like to know about your pet
It’s important to know if your dog has any special needs, health issues, or unique behaviors so I can provide the best care. I prefer working with breeds that are friendly, social, and comfortable around other pets and people. Letting me know about any allergies, fears, or routines ahead of time helps me tailor my care to keep your pet happy and safe.
A typical day
A typical day includes walks, playtime, and lots of belly rubs. I mix in games like fetch or training treats to keep pets active and happy. Every day is tailored to your pet’s energy and personality to ensure they have fun and feel loved.

Loving Care from UT Ph.D. Student!
Pet care experience
I bring a unique blend of rural and urban pet care experience. I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals—horses, dogs, cats, goats, and chickens—so caring for animals has always been second nature. That hands-on upbringing taught me responsibility, intuition, and how to understand animals' needs. For the past five years, I’ve raised my Australian Shepherd in an urban setting, giving me experience with high-energy breeds, leash training, and adapting routines to busy city life. Whether it’s senior pets, puppies, or animals with big personalities, I bring calm, capable, and compassionate care rooted in a lifetime of experience.
Cat care experience
Isabelle also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
This is our Watson’s 2nd boarding with her and it couldn’t have gone better! As before, we received regular updates with pictures, and it allowed me to actually relax during our time away knowing our boy was I such good hands. Isabelle was also incredible when it came to accommodating my last minute holiday plans, she really saved the day for my family!
Isabelle did an amazing job sitting for our new rescue Rizzo! She was extremely patient and understanding with our little shy apprehensive guy, and we felt completely comfortable leaving him in her care. Isabelle is a total professional who communicated with us every step of the way and sent us some super cute updates every day. Definitely recommend Isabelle!
I had an impromptu day trip to Houston and was able to snag Isabelle last minute. She was super flexible and I never have to worry or check up while she’s with my girls. She sends photos and communications throughout the day. As always, thank you!
Isabelle once again was an amazing sitter for our two runts! She was incredibly generous with her time in allowing for a super early drop off to accommodate a flight of ours. Highly recommend for your pets!
