Loving Care When You're Not There

Hi, I’m Isaiah, a lifelong animal lover and the kind of person who will stop mid-sentence to pet a dog walking by. I’ve grown up around pets and have spent years caring for dogs and cats of all kinds; big, small, shy, wild, and everything in between! What sets me apart? I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether I’m playing fetch with a zoomy pup, giving extra love to a senior dog, or just being a cozy couch buddy, I tailor my care to make your pet feel safe, loved, and totally at ease. ❤️ I’m experienced with puppies (yes, I’ve cleaned up a lot of accidents), senior pets who need a little extra patience, and pets who just need a calm presence and consistent routine. I can also give meds, stick to special diets, and handle quirky habits with a smile. Your pet won’t just be “watched”, they’ll be cared for like family. Bonus: You’ll get fun photo updates and lots of tail-wagging peace of mind!🐾

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When I’m caring for pets in your home, my top priorities are safety, respect, and making sure your pet feels completely comfortable in their own space. I follow your routines closely feeding times, walk schedules, medications, crate training, you name it, to keep everything consistent and stress-free. I take the responsibility of being in someone else’s home seriously. You can trust that I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. Leaving things clean, secure, and exactly how I found it.

I needed a pet sitting last minute and Isaiah was super accommodating and took such wonderful care of my pup Kota while I was away. Will definitely be booking my pet care with him again in the future. Thanks so much!!

Isaiah was fantastic! My girls loved him immediately. He has a gentle, calming energy with animals. He took excellent care of my babies, even taking them out for hikes in the snow! I would not hesitate to book him again. Thanks again Isaiah for giving us peace of mind when we leave our dogs in your care!

Isaiah was very responsive, detail-oriented, and cared a lot about making sure my travel didn’t affect my pet’s normal routines. He was so patient and loving to my pet! He was also respectful of my dog’s quirks and my space while I was away. I would recommend to anyone!

Isaiah was great with our dog! He administered medications, gave him lots of exercise and stimulation, and made a point of clarifying anything he was unsure about. He asked lots of great questions when he met our dog, and was interested the dog’s preferences.

My wife and I couldn't be happier with Isaiah. He took amazing care of our pets while we were away — frequent updates, lots of playtime, and everything was spotless when we got home, even from the mess our pup always seems to make when we leave town. Highly recommend for anyone needing a reliable and caring sitter.

If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, look no further than Isaiah R. He’s one of the most trustworthy, kind-hearted, and dependable people I know—and animals absolutely love him. Isaiah has a natural way with pets, whether it’s a high-energy pup that needs structure and exercise or a senior dog that just wants some calm companionship and care. What makes him stand out is his calm, steady presence and the genuine joy he brings to every interaction with animals. He’s patient, attentive, and always puts the needs of the pet first. On top of that, his background in the military shows through in the way he handles responsibility—he’s reliable, punctual, and incredibly respectful of your home and routines. Whether you need someone to take your dog for a long walk, check in on your cat, or stay overnight while you’re away, Isaiah is the kind of person you can trust 100%. Your pet will be in amazing hands—and you’ll get peace of mind, regular updates, and probably a few cute photos too!

I’m currently transitioning from military to civilian life, which means my schedule is wide open and totally flexible! Pet care is something I truly enjoy, and right now, I’m grateful to have the time to fully dedicate myself to it. Whether your pet needs early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening snuggles, I’m here and ready. I can accommodate short notice bookings, extended stays, or regular visits throughout the week.

Every pet is unique, and I want to make sure I give yours the best care possible! Before we get started, I’d love to know a few things: - Do they have any routines, quirks, or triggers I should be aware of? - How do they do on walks or around other animals? - Any medical needs, allergies, or meds to give? - Are there any rules you stick to, like no furniture, special feeding times, or crate time? - And most importantly… what makes their tail wag? 🐾 The more I know up front, the better I can care for them like family. I’m all about creating a safe, happy experience, for both you and your pet!
