Highlights
Pet care experience
Friendly Dog Sitter & Collie Owner
I have had cats and dogs my whole life, and I currently have a 1 year old border collie and two 11 year old cats. I've been looking after my pets, and walking my dogs for as long as I can remember. I have experience working with and walking with challenging dogs, and have attended many dog and puppy training classes. I love all animals and find spending time with them to be very fun and rewarding.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a dog and two cats at home so I can't bring in other pets, however I am able to come to you, and care for pets in their home environment. I have experience looking after pets for friends and neighbours while they are away. I have experience using crates, and working with both high-energy young dogs and older dogs, as well as all sizes. I am also very experienced with herding dogs, and dogs with car-chasing instincts. I also have experience with reactive and anxious dogs. I am also experienced with providing medication for both dogs and cats.
Ratings and reviews
Izzy was friendly and obviously relaxed and knowledgeable about looking after cats. She kept us updated, so we knew our cat was being well looked after. I would definitely recommend her.
Izzy took fabulous care of the dogs, as usual!
Izzy looked after my two dogs and they both seemed so content. As one of my dogs is a bit on the older side, kennels were not an option so knowing they were in the their home with someone who provided them so much attention, it has definitely given me peace of mind. Will certainly look to book with Izzy again!
Izzy is great with our dogs. She is particularly attentive to their mobility needs.
Izzy was an absolutely wonderful cat sitter for Finn and Skadi. She was reliable, trustworthy, caring, and punctual, and it was clear she genuinely loved spending time with them. Our cats were relaxed and happy in her care, and she looked after every detail — feeding, litter cleaning, and making a real effort to play with them and build a bond. What really stood out was the daily updates with photos, which were so reassuring to receive while we were away. Knowing exactly how well they were being cared for meant we could properly relax on our holiday. We couldn't be happier with Izzy and would recommend her without hesitation.
Izzi was absolutely brilliant looking after our cat Simba while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Simba can be quite shy and wary of new people, but Izzi was incredibly patient with her and clearly took the time to understand her personality and let her come round at her own pace. It was lovely to see Simba gradually becoming more comfortable and affectionate with her — by the end, Izzi had definitely won her over! Izzi kept us updated throughout, was thoughtful and attentive, and went above and beyond, even helping us out with a parcel while we were away. We felt completely reassured knowing Simba was in such kind and capable hands. Izzi clearly genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, and that really came across in all our conversations. We would have absolutely no hesitation in asking her to look after Simba again and would recommend her very highly to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring and reliable pet sitter. Thank you, Izzi!

Schedule
I'm currently working part time, so on days I'm working I am free in the mornings usually before 9:45am and in the evenings after 5:30pm! I have a car and a full license so I can drive to you!
- Cats7 to 18 kg18 to 45 kgover 45 kgIzzy can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- Let me know if there is anything specific about your pets that I should know, such as necessary medications, relevant behaviours they show (such as barking at people, or chasing cars), or habits you are trying to train (such as stopping and sitting at roads before you cross). I would also like to know what their energy levels are like and how they react to people and other animals they may meet out on a walk.
