Highlights
Pet care experience
Cat care expert and aficionado ☺️
I’ve taken care of cats since I was 16, including one, my current pet, Lucy, who’s (unfortunately) been on meds for the past 6 years. Expert at giving oral medication (both pills and liquid), clipping nails (even for cats that have never had it done before!), and resisting cat’s innate cuteness to ask for more food (I will keep them on the feeding plan given). Love to spend time with them, cuddle and play!

Safety, trust & environment
I can stay for whatever length of time makes sense — several hours, overnight, etc. I can also take care of things around the house, should it be needed — besides changing litter (obviously), I can also water house plants (having several of my own I’m used to taking care of), collect mail, vacuum (depending on the length of absence, I know how much cats can shed!). Mainly looking forward to spending some time cuddling and playing with your furry loved one!
Ratings and reviews
Isabelle did a wonderful job watching Chestnut and Walnut. She was super responsive and provided regular updates and photos. She also went above and beyond handling mischievous cat issues like knocked-over objects or torn plants, and made one bonus visit to check on the cats right before my trip was done. Would highly recommend — thanks so much Isabelle!
I’ve known Isabelle for many years and have seen firsthand that she’s a responsible pet owner. She’s attentive with her cat, dependable, and someone I’d trust to be respectful of both a pet’s needs and an owner’s preferences.
Isabelle is a deeply empathetic friend, and cats (including her own Lucy) are privileged to get this same dynamic of care from her as well. She's someone who always goes the extra mile for Lucy's needs, really responsible and would be a great pet-sitter for your cat as well. Two paws up! which you know in the cat world really says something.
Isabelle has taken care of my cats, Sosa and Mia, several times over the past year, in stretches of up to 2 weeks. She's been the best pet caregiver I could possibly hope for; the cats love her and are always excited when she arrives, she's diligent in taking care of all their needs (including Sosa's medication and his somewhat complicated diet), and she's excellent at providing me with updates and responding quickly whenever I check in on how they're doing. Absolutely nothing more I could ask for!

Schedule
I’m currently very flexible with my schedule, and available to come by most times to care for pets. I can’t offer boarding, but I can stay overnight if needed!
- CatsIsabelle can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
- Please let me know if your cat has a specific feeding cycle or any medication they need to be given. Also, any info on whether they like belly rubs or how they typically react to new people would be greatly appreciated!
