Availability
I work full-time, but my shifts are typically 5–8 hours a day, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide pet care before and/or after work. I’m available for morning, evening, and some midday visits depending on the day. On my days off, I’m fully available for walks, drop-ins, or extended stays.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for your pets, I treat their space with the same respect and care as I would my own. I follow all instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication routines, or house rules—to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and stress-free in their familiar environment. I prioritize safety at all times by keeping a close eye on pets during walks or playtime, making sure doors and gates are secure, and monitoring for any signs of stress or illness. Building trust with both pets and their people is incredibly important to me, and I take that responsibility seriously. I keep you updated with photos and messages so you always feel reassured and connected while you're away, knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands!
Information Izabella D. would like to know about your pet
It’s important for me to know ahead of time if your pet has any special needs, medical conditions, or daily routines that I should follow to keep them comfortable and safe. I also like to know about any triggers, such as loud noises, other dogs, certain handling, or specific situations that may cause stress or anxiety. Understanding what your pet likes (favorite toys, treats, activities) as well as what they don’t like, such as being touched in certain areas, unfamiliar dogs, or particular environments, helps me tailor their care and make sure they feel happy, secure, and well understood!
A typical day
I love tailoring activities to each dog’s energy level. For high energy pups, I enjoy taking them on long walks, playing fetch or tug-of-war, and giving them plenty of mental challenges like scent or treat-finding activities. For low energy dogs, I focus on relaxed play with toys, sniff focused walks, puzzle toys, snuggle time, and calm enrichment to keep them engaged without overwhelming them.

Pet care experience
I have over eight years of experience caring for pets of all kinds—different breeds, sizes, temperaments, and ages. From energetic puppies to senior pets requiring extra TLC, I’m comfortable adapting to each animal's unique needs. I’m also experienced in administering oral and topical medications safely and confidently. In addition to pet sitting, I worked as a professional dog bather for a year, which gave me hands on experience handling dogs in high energy environments. I currently work at The Pack as a dog care specialist, where I support dogs in group play, monitor behavior, and ensure their safety and well-being throughout the day. Whether it's daily walks, cuddle time, or more specialized care, I bring patience, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals to every visit!
Reviews
Izabella did amazing! She took incredible care of our high need pups, was very neat and tidy, and extremely communicative. I can't wait to hire her again!
Izabella was SUCH a blessing. She hung out with our girls (dog && cat) in our apartment. She was very attentive to them, responsive, and sent many photos throughout the stay. Detail-oriented for sure. She asked questions as needed to best take care of the girls. They looked like they totally loved her the photos. Our apartment was so clean and taken care of when we got back. We are so grateful for her!! Will absolutely be rebooking in the future. :)) THANK YOU IZABELLA
Izabella took great care of our dog while we traveled. She brought him toys and sent great pictures.
Izabella was so great with coco. I had a last minute request when her longtime caregiver could no longer care for her. I had set up care through another person on rover and they cancelled which left me just two days to find someone. Izabella sent me her work hours so I could coordinate drop ins and walks to work with cocos schedule. She came the next day for a meet and greet. While I was away she gave great photos and updates. She even offered to take out the trash and put some salt down. She offered an additional check in if needed the day we were coming back which was wonderful since our plane got delayed. Would definitely recommend her!
