Isabella C.'s Experience
I've always had a love for animals, and caring for them has become one of my biggest passions. Right now, I have over 17 animals of my own, including leopard geckos, a crested gecko, White's tree frogs, Pacman frogs, ball pythons, tarantulas, two dogs, and a cat. Taking care of so many different species has given me hands-on experience with feeding, enclosure maintenance, temperature and humidity management, handling, and recognizing when something isn't quite right.
To me, pets are family. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them, learning about their individual personalities, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I'm patient, dependable, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure every animal receives the best care possible. Whether it's a playful puppy, a shy cat, or a unique reptile, I'll care for them with the same love and attention I give my own pets.
Information Isabella C. would like to know
Before I care for your pet, I'd love to get to know them better! Here are a few questions I like to ask:
* Does your pet have any allergies, medical conditions, or medications I should know about?
* What is their daily routine, including feeding times, potty breaks, walks, or care schedule?
* Are there any behaviors or fears I should be aware of (such as anxiety, reactivity, or escape tendencies)?
* Does your pet have any favorite toys, treats, or activities?
* Are there any foods, treats, or situations I should avoid?
* For cats: Are they indoor-only, outdoor, or both?
* For reptiles and exotic pets: Are there any special care instructions, feeding preferences, or handling guidelines?
* Is there anything that helps your pet feel more comfortable while you're away?
* Who should I contact in case of an emergency, and which veterinarian do you use?
* Is there anything else you'd like me to know so I can provide the best possible care for your pet?
A typical day
When you trust me with your pets, you can expect them to be cared for like they're part of my own family. My day starts by making sure everyone is happy, healthy, and comfortable. I'll follow your pet's routine exactly—whether that's feeding, fresh water, medications, walks, playtime, enrichment, or simply giving them companionship and attention.
For dogs, that means walks, play sessions, potty breaks, and lots of love. For cats, I'll make sure they're fed, their litter boxes are clean, and they get plenty of affection (or space, if that's what they prefer!). For reptiles and exotic pets, I'm experienced with maintaining proper temperatures and humidity, feeding live or frozen prey when needed, spot-cleaning enclosures, changing water, and carefully monitoring their health and behavior.
Throughout every visit, I'll keep your home tidy, make sure enclosures, doors, and gates are securely closed, and send regular photo and text updates so you always know how your pets are doing. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible by keeping your pets comfortable, safe, and loved in their familiar environment.
As someone who personally cares for over 17 animals—including reptiles, amphibians, tarantulas, dogs, and a cat—I understand that every pet has its own unique personality and needs. Whether your pet loves to cuddle, play, explore, or simply relax, I'll make sure they receive the patience, attention, and compassionate care they deserve.
