I work three days a week on night shifts, while my wife works during the day. This means there is always someone at home to provide constant care and attention to your pups. Our unique schedule allows me to have plenty of time to take the dogs out for walks, playtime, and give them the affection they deserve.

Pet care experience

Growing up with dogs has instilled in me a deep love and understanding of their needs. For the past four years, I've had the pleasure of helping friends, family, and neighbors care for their furry companions. I’m excited to extend my services and meet more wonderful dogs. With my experience and passion for pet care, I am committed to providing a safe, fun, and loving environment for your pets.

Izzy is an excellent Rover sitter for a dog. He is very conscientious and caring with dogs. He seemed very in tune with Maki's strengths and needs. I felt comfortable knowing my dog was in the care of a very responsible and compassionate sitter. He sent me daily updates about Maki's activities, her bonding with his dog Bella and photos from their walks. Maki had such a great time staying with Izzy's family.

It is such a good feeling knowing Gus is save and happy with Izzy and his family. We get regular photos and updates, which allows us to have a stress free vacation. His entire family makes Gus’s stay a great one.

This is the second time that our boys are staying with Izzy and his wonderful family. Odin, our corgi gets along really well with Bella, their resident dog and that makes us happy that they've become playmates and friends. Our senior dog, Ivar had a few digestive issues right before their stay and Izzy took care of him by providing his meds and letting him rest on the couch and get lots of snuggle and relaxing time. Our boys truly have the best time there and we're so grateful for all that this family does for ours! We also have moved to the other side of the bay and will still make the drive to have our boys stay with this wonderful family. Thank you so much!

Izzy came highly recommended by several friends who regularly trust him with their pups, and now I completely understand why. This was my dog Arthur’s first time staying with anyone aside from family, so I was a bit nervous at first. Izzy quickly put me at ease by letting me know Arthur was settling in nicely and getting along well with the whole family. The photos and videos Izzy sent showed just how happy and comfortable Arthur was, and the regular, detailed updates made it easy to relax knowing he was in such good hands. Thank you for making Arthur’s first experience with a sitter such a positive one!
