Isabel Alvarez Arata, host of Pet Life Radio’s Covered In Pet Hair, made a life-changing decision recently: she decided to adopt a cat!  After being a dog parent for a number of years, she recently lost her last dog. Isabel’s lifestyle has changed now that she has 2 kids, so getting a puppy felt like too much for her to handle right now.    But what about adopting a cat, she thought. A cat would give her, her husband, and her kids the furry companionship they wanted, without having to walk a dog, constantly keep him entertained, and all the work that goes into training a puppy. Yes, cats need social interaction, but not quite to the degree a dog, especially a puppy, requires.     We love this, since, of course, we (Linda and Rita) are all about cats! She is also teaching her kids how to be responsible pet owners, first through their dogs and now via their cat, Van Gogh! Tune in to hear the challenges of becoming a cat parent, and the differences Isabel has noticed between having a cat and a dog in her busy home.

19 Cats and Counting Episode 91 Isabel Alvarez Arata: A Dog Parent Decides to Adopt a Cat!

Who is caring for your pets when you’re traveling?  That’s the question today’s guest, Isabel Alvarez Arata, is going to help us answer. Isabel describes herself an advocate for in-home pet sitting and shares with us everything we should know before hiring a pet sitter. Though she’s a lifelong animal lover, Isabel never intended on a career in the pet industry.  But when she had trouble finding a dog walker for her newly adopted dog Titan, Isabel saw a career changing opportunity and spent the next 15 years running a highly in-demand pet sitting business in the Northern Virginia suburbs of Washington DC. A Dog Mom, Cat Mom, Human Mom and military spouse, Isabel is now a writer,  journalist, content creator and creator of the Covered in Pet Hair Podcast.  Isabel describes her podcast as a boozy show for pet lovers and every episode features cocktails and games mixed in with her interviews. (You can catch my episode of Covered in Pet Hair here.) Spending her early years living in Ecuador before moving to Miami, Isabel shares this experience and reflects on how family pets are viewed in the Latin American culture and how that has evolved in the last 30 years. This interview was recorded shortly after Isabel and her family said goodbye to their 15 ½ year old dog Titan.  Isabel describes how her family celebrated Titan’s life and how she prepared her children to say goodbye. (Unbeknownst to me at the time, this was the last interview I recorded with Penny by my side.)
