Hello - my name is Isabel (friends call me Isabella). I I work 4 days a week, I have no kids and and now pets and have free time to look after pets - especially doggies. I live in Brussels (Merode area) with my husband - opposite park Cinquantinaire - I have a car and I am able to do pick-ups if needed. I do not have my own pets (at the moment). I work but at the moment I telework and spend 2 days at the office. I live close by my office.
I have lived in Belgium for just over 20 years with the last 2 years being mostly in Marbella Spain (where I was teleworking). During my time in Marbella I come across the animal shelter called Trible A which I started to support as a volunteer - providing food and weekly walks for various doggies of different sizes. I fell in love with this work and the help I could provide to these beautiful animals that had lost their home... I am now back in Brussels on a more regular basis . I live in an apartment - its a big apartment with a balcony.
I have owned doggies and cats most of my life since I was a child. I stopped having my own pets a few years as it was always difficult to get a pet sitter when I travelled - for work and for holidays! At the time we had 2 Siemese cats and 2 Jack Russels :) I must say I am so grateful that PawShake started as it helps both pet owners and people like me -- to have the chance to share time with other people's doggies and give them love, a walk or a home when their owners are not able to do so. I live opposite a park so its very easy to walk doggies if I pet sit them in my own home - I live in a building where there are several dogs so thats not an issue!
In the beginning I would like to only have one or two doggies of the same owner ... then we can see how things evolve. I was recomemded by a friend that is an active pet sitter with PawShake .. her name is Mira. I ahve helped Mira several times look after her own pet. I am happy to respond to any questions that could help you decide to select me!
Important - I always require to meet the dog and owner before accepting a booking. This is to be sure the doggie is at ease with me and I can handle it!
Isabella took great care of my dog on short notice and was very understanding. I very much appreciated her regular updates and photos. Thanks a bunch!
Isabella is the petsitter you really wish to havenfor your dog. She is trustworthy, reliable, serious and communicative. I definitely suggest her. You can be sure, your pet is in good hands.
