Istelle grew up an animal lover and that love continues to grow by the day. She’s met all kinds of dogs from the tiniest dachshund to the biggest great dane. So when an opportunity arose to make a job out of taking care she jumped at it. In her free time Istelle enjoys theater, reality TV, writing, and piano.

Dogs have always been a big part of my life. Over the years I’ve cared for and loved many pups, learning their unique personalities, needs, and routines. My experience includes daily care, feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and part of the family. I truly enjoy building trust with every dog I meet and treating them like they’re my own.
