Highlights
Pet care experience
Pre-Vet Animal Lover You Can Trust
I have years of experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and horses. As an Animal Science major on the Pre-Veterinary track, I’ve gained valuable hands-on experience through shadowing and internships at veterinary clinics, learning to handle animals safely and confidently. In addition to my academic and professional background, I’ve been caring for pets belonging to neighbors, friends, and family for many years, from walking energetic dogs to feeding cats and small animals. I’m comfortable working with puppies, senior pets, and those with unique personalities or special needs, and I always provide patient, compassionate, and individualized care for every pet I meet.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I always prioritize safety, comfort, and trust. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions so they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. I make sure doors and gates are properly closed, keep walk routes safe and familiar, and always use leashes and harnesses appropriately. During drop-in visits, I focus on maintaining a calm, positive environment—providing fresh water, feeding according to your schedule, cleaning up as needed, and giving plenty of playtime or cuddles. My goal is to ensure every pet feels happy, loved, and stress free until you return.
Ratings and reviews
Izabella is so patient and great with our dogs! Highly recommend!
I would highly recommend Izzy, as she has always taken amazing care of my dog Burke. She anticipates his needs, makes sure he feels safe, and consistently goes out of her way to make him feel loved and well cared for.
Izabella is the best! She has taken care of my cat on several occasions when I have been away for work or vacation. He is a grumpy guy sometimes but Izabella made sure to give him love and plenty of play time. He has a pretty specific diet and she makes sure to follow it just as I ask. She sends lots of pictures and videos as well. Highly recommended!
I can’t recommend Izabella enough! She did an amazing job both dog sitting and walking my dog while I was away. From the start, she was communicative, reliable, and clearly love animals. My dog instantly warmed up to her, which says a lot! She even sent me regular updates and photos, so I always knew my pup was happy, well cared for, and getting plenty of exercise and attention. When I came home, my dog was calm, healthy, and clearly had been well loved. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and responsible to take care of your furry friend, Izabella is the one to call! I am definitely booking with her again!! Happy Puppy Mom, T.
Izzy is the best person I know to take care of your pets. Izzy is responsible, hardworking, and always on time. Her experience working at vet clinics allows her to meet animals were they are at and understand their body language. She is very kind and is great at responding to any situation. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter.
Izabella has taken care of my dogs multiple times and has always done an amazing job! Very attentive to my dogs needs and is great at sending updates/staying in touch. I feel at ease knowing Izabella is with my fur babies while I am away!

Schedule
Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine! Although I have classes during the day as an Animal Science major on the Pre-Veterinary track, I have several breaks between classes that give me time to stop by for walks or drop-in visits. I love spending that time with animals—it’s a great way to take a break from studying and do something meaningful. I’m also available most mornings, evenings, and weekends, so I can provide flexible care that fits your pet’s routine and ensures they’re always well looked after.
