Safety, trust & environment

I always keep dogs on the leash outside unless they are in a fenced in area. I am careful with food on the counter and items on the ground to make sure a dog doesn’t get a hold of them. While getting near other dogs, I make sure that the dogs are friendly or if whatever dog I am in charge of is comfortable (mostly based off of what owner tells me about dogs friendliness with other dogs).

Information Isla H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any additional needs or medical problems I should be aware of or if specific things make them nervous or uncomfortable so that I can make sure to avoid them!

A typical day

I love to play fetch and theres always time for a good game of tug a war for the pups and chasing a string for the kittys. I typically try to walk dogs 3-4 times a day if with them for the entire day.

Pet care experience

I have taken care of pets for neighbors and friends while they are out of town for years and have my own 2 dogs at home along with 2 cats. I feed, walk, and help bathe dogs and cats of any kind and always love to play! I have been dog sitting for Rover for a while now and have had experience with dogs young and old as well as providing medications.

Isla was great! I would recommend and ask her to watch my cat again!

Isla was great! I was grateful that I could trust her to administer a lot of medication to my dog while she was sick when I was away.

Isla took great care of sparkles and melon. She was easy to coordinate and communicate with at a late notice, and I had full confidence that my pups would have a safe walk!
