Animal loving professional!
Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Ysabeau (pronounced Is-a-bow). I am a recent graduate from Northeastern and currently work at Brigham & Women’s hospital. I am fully vaccinated. My current work schedule is 8:30am-5pm (with some flexibility) so I prefer morning, evening, and weekend visits/walks. I am originally from New Jersey and desperately miss my own pup! I have always loved all animals. I am incredibly comfortable with cats and they are actually the pets I care for the most. My roommate and many of my friends have cats who I regularly cat-sit for. I have taken care of anywhere from 1-3 cats in a single visit. In regards to dog walking: I have had 4 different dogs over my entire life ranging from 75-150 pounds, so I have a good understanding of their needs. I am familiar with the Brookline area and am able to handle dogs that are easy or difficult to control when walking. I am comfortable with walking up to 2 dogs at a time. I can’t wait to meet your dog or cat and I will take care of him or her as if they were my own!
Reviews
Amazing! Such a kind and attentive person. i felt very good about leaving my cat in her care. She sent me daily updates and photos. Would definitely hire again!
Ysabeau has taken care of our cat on multiple trips and she is wonderful! She always spends time giving him pets and sends lots of good updates/pictures so that we worry less while we're away.
Ysabeau was absolutely amazing taking care of my two cats. She was able to stop by before my trip for a quick meet and greet with my cats which made me feel at ease. She gave great updates and took lots of photos. If I ever need future drop in visits for my cats I will definitely use Ysabeau's services again!
Ysabeau came through at the last minute and provided excellent care and love to my cat after another sitter canceled due to a family emergency! She was always on time and available to message me if I had any concerns or requests. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter!

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I will care for your pets by ensuring they have enough water and they use the bathroom before I leave your home. I will also complete any requests you may have for food, treats, or toys that I should leave out for your pup. I believe communication is important and will always sent a visit overview note and plenty of pictures at the end of the visit!
Information Ysabeau B. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs that I should know about in advance! Also. Please let me know if your dog is very high energy and pulls on the leash, dislikes people and/or other animals, or is very reactive. Thanks!
A typical day
I love playing with cats! Just let me know their favorite toys and preferences for being pet (i.e. if they don’t like having their ears or back touched) I would walk your dog around your neighborhood or park if there is one nearby. I have a good understanding of the Boston area and am always careful to watch out for cyclists and cars when walking on the sidewalk. If you have any preferences for the route I would take just let me know!

Availability
I prefer afternoon and evening visits as I currently work a full time job with flexible availability that varies week by week. I often have afternoons free and occasionally work from home. I also do morning visits primarily on the weekend but can also do them during the week if you are close by to my home.
