My work schedule keeps me pretty busy but in my free time I love pet sitting. I work at an emergency and specialty hospital 4 days of the week, so midday check ins don’t typically fit into my schedule.

Safety, trust & environment

I always do a meet and greet with new clients before accepting a booking. I think it’s important that your pet meets me in their environment with someone they know and trust as well. This also allows me to get a better idea of what I can do to keep your pet happy while I’m watching them.

Information Izzy R. would like to know about your pet

Certain breeds tend to have certain medical issues, luckily I know what signs to look for. However, I understand there are pets who have “behavior” issues as well. You can let me know anything and everything about your pet, there’s no such thing as too much information imo :)

A typical day

I know every pet is going to be different and their preferences all depends on them. I love to know ahead of time what your pet typically likes so I can make them as comfortable as they can be while their favorite person is away.

Pet care experience

Hi there! I am unfortunately unable to accept new canine clients at this time. Due to my full time job, I simply don’t have the time that your fur babies deserve. If you are a reoccurring client or have booked with me in the past, I will accept requests if I am available. Thank y’all for everything! I have been caring for animals ever since I was about 10 years old. Whether that was fostering a litter of puppies with my family or pet sitting for the neighbor, I wanted to constantly be caring for animals. At 14, I got my first job at a veterinary clinic as a kennel technician; by 16 I was a vet tech assistant and at 17 I was promoted to vet tech. I’m currently in school for my associates degree in veterinary technology with hopes to put that education towards a veterinary medical technician license. All of this to say, I am extremely qualified and happy to care of your fur baby while you’re away! However, my availability is limited due to my full time job and school. I’m currently working at an emergency veterinary hospital in 4 days a week, typically 10-12 hour shifts. I can’t always guarantee being available for a booking and I apologize for that but there are so many other amazing sitters on Rover who I know are just as qualified! I look forward to seeing your fluffy cuties :)

Izzy always does an amazing job with our kitties! She sends several pictures everyday so we can see their little expressions and see how they’re doing while we’re gone. It’s made my wife enjoy trips more knowing the cats are so well taken care of. We can tell from the photos that they’ve warmed up to her a lot over time and really enjoy her visits. :)

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
