About Me Hello! My name is Isabela, and I am a caring, responsible, and trustworthy pet sitter who genuinely loves animals. Animals have always been an important part of my life. I grew up surrounded by pets, and visiting my family's farm was part of my routine, where I had the opportunity to spend time with different animals and learn about their needs, behaviours, and personalities. I have two Shih Tzus who are currently in Brazil with my family, and they will always have a special place in my heart. Living in Dublin, I really miss having animals around every day, which is why caring for other people's pets brings me so much joy. I understand that pets are part of the family, and I will always treat yours with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. My Services Dog Boarding (Weekends) I offer weekend boarding for small dogs in a safe, clean, and comfortable home environment. During their stay, your dog will receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and care according to their usual routine. A typical day includes walks, playtime, feeding according to your instructions, and lots of companionship. I usually provide walks of around 20–30 minutes, depending on the dog's energy level and needs. Your pet will have a comfortable and safe place to rest and sleep. I always follow the owner's preferences regarding sleeping routines, feeding times, favourite toys, and any habits that help the pet feel relaxed and secure. Pets are not left alone for long periods. If I need to leave the house, I make sure it is only for short periods and that the pet is comfortable and safe before I go. My home is organised to provide a calm environment for pets. I always supervise interactions, keep doors and windows secure, and make sure pets are in a safe area at all times. Even without a fenced garden, I ensure dogs have safe outdoor time through supervised walks. I also offer a pick-up and drop-off service to make the experience easier and more convenient for you. Pet Visits (Weekends) I provide home visits for both dogs and cats. During each visit, I will feed your pet, refresh their water, clean their area if needed, spend quality time with them, and provide affection and attention so they feel comfortable while you are away. Pets I Care For I care for friendly, well-socialised small dogs and cats. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I take time to learn their routine, preferences, and behaviours. I am comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, including shy, energetic, or more independent animals. I use patience, positive reinforcement, and respect to help pets feel comfortable and build trust. For safety reasons, I am not able to accommodate pets with aggressive behaviour or pets that require specialised medical care. Safety and Emergencies Your pet's safety is my priority. In case of an unexpected situation, I will: Stay calm and assess the situation. Contact the owner immediately with an update. Follow the owner's instructions whenever possible. Contact a veterinary professional if necessary. I always ask owners for important information before the stay, including feeding instructions, routines, emergency contacts, and any special needs. My goal is to provide a loving, safe, and stress-free experience for both you and your pet, giving you peace of mind while you are away.
