Pet care experience

Paws to Scales🐾🐱🐶🦎🐍🦆🐸🦜🐢🐓

Hi, I’m Ismara! 🐾 I’m a lifelong animal lover with 20+ years of hands on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I’m based in Big Bear and the Coachella Valley, and I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy, attentive, and loving when it comes to your pets. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet is playful, shy, energetic, elderly, or has special care instructions, my goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m also the proud co-owner of Pawsitive Patrol LLC, a local pet waste management business. Pet care is a part of my everyday life, and my experience has taught me the importance of responsibility, cleanliness, reliability, and paying attention to the little details that keep pets happy and healthy. A little about what I offer: 🐾 20+ years of hands-on pet care experience 🐾 Loving, individualized attention for every pet 🐾 Experience with feeding schedules, walks, medications, and special requests 🐾 Comfortable caring for pets in your home or mine 🐾 A secure fenced deck at my home for safe outdoor time, sunbathing, and play I also have experience caring for reptiles and amphibians and have some of my own! I absolutely love unique animals and would be excited to care for your scaly, feathered, or unusual family members too. From reptiles and birds to chickens and other special pets, I think every animal deserves the same patience, attention, and love. As a small business owner, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to truly focus on the pets in my care. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment because I understand that your pets aren’t just animals — they’re family. I would love the opportunity to meet your pets and become someone you can trust whenever you need care! 🐶🐱🦎

I can't recommend Ismara enough as a dog sitter! Every time I've entrusted my fur babies to her, I've been thoroughly impressed with her attentiveness, responsibility, and dedication. Ismara is trustworthy, reliable, and treats every dog as if they were her own. If you're looking for a dog sitter who truly cares, please don’t hesitate to reach out to her!

If you are considering hiring a pet sitter I would give Ismara G. my highest recommendation. ismara is prompt and courteous with both owners and pets.  She has an excellent work history in the “animal field” and her own ownership of several pets speaks to her love of animals. It is such a relief to know Ismara was caring for our pets, in our own home.  She understands that they are our babies, our kids, and treats them as such.  My vacation was much more enjoyable knowing that my pets were receiving Ismara’s loving kindness. Ismara has established a business that will thrive once the word spreads.  She runs her business with professionalism, integrity and high quality standards.  Without a doubt she has become a business that I will frequent with regularity. (The dogs say her husband makes delicious doggie cookies too!) -Enedina G.

I love to take the pups out on a neighborhood walk, dog park, or anywhere your pet may already be used to going. I like to throw the ball around and let them get some energy out.
