Highlights
Pet care experience
Biologist & Caring Pet/Animal Lover
I grew up on a farm in Southern Italy surrounded by horses, chickens, dogs, and cats. Animals have always been my world: I have been horseback riding since childhood and have extensive, hands-on experience as a trusted cat sitter, dog sitter, and horse handler. Alongside my practical experience, I bring a strong scientific background: I hold a Master's and a PhD in Biology and have conducted research at the University of Veterinary Medicine (Vetmeduni). This background allows me to approach pet health, nutrition, and well-being with a scientific eye, attentiveness to subtle behavioral cues, and great reliability when it comes to specific routines or medication needs. I am genuinely fascinated by all living beings and the unique evolutionary bond we share with our companion animals. Observing their habits, understanding their unique personalities, and providing gentle, tailored care is my greatest passion. Your pets will be loved, understood, and kept completely safe in my care!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Isabella is our neighbor, and she has looked after our cat multiple times over the past two years whenever we were away. She is exceptionally reliable, communicative, and caring. Our cat, who is usually very shy around new people, warmed up to her immediately. Isabella always sends sweet updates and gives us total peace of mind. I could not recommend a more trustworthy and loving pet caregiver! :-)
Isabella was great!!! I will definitely contact her again whenever I'm out of town to take care of our little dog :). I totally recommend her

Schedule
I work as a postdoc researcher in a lab for about 6 hours a day, which gives me great schedule flexibility and plenty of free time to dedicate to my favorite hobby: spending quality time with animals! Having half the day free allows me to easily adapt to your pet’s routine. Whether it’s strict feeding schedules, fun interactive playtime, walks, or endless cuddles and relaxing time together, I’m here to give them all the love and care they deserve!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Our home is large and spacious, offering plenty of room for pets to play, explore, or find the perfect cozy spot to nap. Safety is my absolute top priority: all windows are kept strictly closed and secure. Plus, my partner works from home, so there is almost always an extra pair of caring eyes around to keep your pet supervised and company! I’ll also send you plenty of photos and updates so you can enjoy total peace of mind while away.
A typical day
A typical day starts with a refreshing morning walk, followed by breakfast and dedicated playtime or mental stimulation games. Throughout the day, pets enjoy plenty of companionship, cozy rest breaks, and interactive play. In the afternoon, we head out for a longer adventure in the Prater-10 min by walking- to explore and stretch their legs, wrapping up the evening with dinner, cuddles, and a calm, relaxing routine.

- Please let me know about your pet’s daily routine, dietary needs, medical history, or any medication requirements. It is also helpful to share their personality traits-such as how they react to other dogs, strangers, or loud noises-as well as their leash manners and house-training habits, so I can ensure a safe and stress-free stay.
