About Isabella

I adore animals (especially cats), ever since I was old enough to volunteer I've been at the SPCA every weekend working with cats, dogs, rabbits, rodents - you name it! I'd love to make sure your pet is happy and healthy in the comfort of their own home, giving your pup some good exercise or just dropping in to check up once a day. 
- Pet sitting: I can stay with your pet all day if needed, I'm usually available on different days during the week but very rarely weekends, so check that out if you're interested. I'd love to send you photos and videos of your pet during this time, so you can be sure they're being taken care of.
- Dropping in: I can come either 1 or 2x when needed on days I'm available. I use public transport and I'll do my best to organize that so I'm on time.

I don't drive and based centrally, so depending on the area of Palmy you're living, I may not be able to pet sit for you due to this. If it's under 30 minutes for me to walk I'll gladly do so!

So what makes me a good choice?

  • In 2022 I studied to got a NZ Certificate in Animal Care Level 3, so I'm well versed with the basics (and a little extra) of caring for your pet. 
  • I've previously worked in a cat motel (FirstVets, Whanganui), looking after cats while their owners were away. Feeding, cleaning their messes, giving medication and of course - many cuddles.
  • I've owned animals my whole life and fully understand how important it is that they're taken care of in your absence.
I don't mind anxious or elderly pets and have experience administering medicine.

Isabella was an excellent pet sitter while we were away. She sent daily updates and pictures of our cats and gave our little cat her daily medication. Our house was well looked after and clean and tidy when we got home. Highly recommended.

Specific Skills

I speak English
< 5 years of experience
I've spent 2 years volunteering with all different pets at the SPCA, 1 year studying Animal Care at Level 3, and 2 months working in a Cattery. I have the most experience caring for cats, but also can walk small-medium sized dogs of all ages and love providing them general care. I've studied animal behaviour and nutrition (for cats, dogs, rodents) during my certificate, including hands on placement with many different animals.
