Highlights
Pet care experience
Pet Sitting Scientist 👩🏼🔬 🐾❤️
By day, I’m a PhD student studying geophysics. The rest of the time? I’m your neighborhood Pet Sitting Scientist. 🧪🐾 I’ve been caring for pets through Rover for over a year and absolutely love getting to know each pet’s individual personality, routine, and quirks. Whether your pup wants long walks and playtime or your pet is happiest curled up on the couch, I tailor my care to what makes them feel most at home. I’m a 5-star sitter with experience caring for a variety of pets, and I’ve been lucky to build relationships with many repeat clients. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you genuinely trust, so I prioritize reliable communication, lots of photo updates, and following your care instructions closely. My goal is simple: all the love, all the care, and all the bells & whistles. 🐾

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.
Ratings and reviews
Isabelle was great with Misty.
Isabelle was super careful with my cat!
I'm an anxious cat-mom, but Isabelle's detailed messages and ample photos let me know my cat was being well cared for. It was a relief and I would recommend her to anyone who wants peace of mind.
Isabelle was quick to respond and kept me in the know!! Very professional and super kind!!
Isabelle was very great with our two dogs! We will definitely be re-booking with her.
Isabelle is amazing and my go to dog sitter! Whenever I leave on vacation I know that my dog is well taken care of and loved. She sends me photos and updates every day of them playing together or going on walks. I highly recommend Isabelle to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter.

Schedule
As a graduate student, my schedule is pretty flexible, which allows me to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care! I’m able to plan my days around walks, meals, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of cuddles. While I do occasionally need to be on campus for classes or research, I have flexibility in when and where I work and can typically adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s normal routine. 🐾

- 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.
