Information Isela M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet requires any special requests that I can assist with or needs any special accommodations. Such as their daily food intake ,snacks and medication.

A typical day

I can assist by helping stimulate your dogs needs physically and mentally. I live close to a park where I can take them for a walk. During the hot summers I make sure to have pet shoes so their paws do not get hot as well as carrying plenty of water. I also can play catch and provide enough games for him/her to play

Your pet’s next best friend !

Pet care experience

*I also am a Spanish Speaker* I am a pet owner myself, I have two small pups named Mia and Simba! I have taken care of multiple types of dogs from puppies to older dogs. Friends, neighbors and colleagues have relied on me on taking care of their pet. I am comfortable with any breed and I can confidently say I am loveable and friendly when it comes to taking care of any dog. If your furry friend requires any form of medication, I am comfortable on following the proper directions so I can easily assist your pet with their medication needs. Playtime is always a priority,so if your pet loves to play catch, walk, run, I am the person to keep your pet entertained. I have volunteered at the Humane society and I am also a ASPCA member. If you are seeking a new friend to watch over your pet, I’m here for them!

Isela was a lifesaver; she stepped in to watch our shy girl over a holiday weekend. She made us feel at ease, and our dog warmed up to her over the visits. We will keep her in mind for the future!

I was nervous about leaving my small dog with anyone while I was out of town because she can be anxious around new people but Isela treated her like family and I could tell how much my dog loved and enjoyed her time with Isela when I picked her up. Isela is a kind soul that cares greatly for animals and I am thankful to have found her on Rover.

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.
