Teacher & Dog Owner
Pet care experience
Growing up I had a german shepherd/husky mix as well as a golden retriever/lab mix. I now am the proud pup mom of an Aussiedoodle named Luna, and I've enjoyed training her since we brought her home at 8 weeks. We frequent the beach, the dog park, and walk/run whenever we can. I've also taken care of dogs while my friends or family were away, welcoming them into my home and caring for them like my own. I currently work weekdays teaching at a local college, but having a flexible schedule allows me to have breaks in the day for walks when needed. During the summer months my availability increases, as I do not teach in June, July and August. If your dog will be staying at my home, I have a large backyard that your dog can play (not fenced in, but with clear property boundaries such as shrubs and trees. Dogs will have full access to the house, but we have trained our dog not to go on our furniture. We prefer this of our boarders but can take additional steps to protect our furniture if your dog is more comfortable on the couch. If I am house sitting, I will treat your home with respect as if it were my own, aiming to leave it better than I found it.
Reviews
Casey continues to be our go to pet sitter! She's great!
I always come back to Casey. She’s great with Cady, does her best to accommodate schedules, and is up front with conflicts. Cady is well cared for and loves having a playdate with Casey’s dog, too.
Casey took great care of our dog with a nice walk and lots of love. Casey is so easy to work and communicate with which gave us great peace of mind. Will absolutely use her again to take care of our dog! Melissa
Amazing would be an understatement. Casey cared for our dog and two cats while my now wife and I got married. She sent many pictures and updates with every check in! We were able to enjoy our weekend knowing out four legged family members were well cared for. I cannot recommend Casey highly enough, I would absolutely ask her to keep an eye on our pup and cats again!

I will always treat your dog the same as my own, but will also cater to each dog's individual needs. My fiance, Chris, lives with me and will help with boarders, drop ins and daycare at times if we are together. He is wonderful with dogs and loves to have them. However, if your dog is timid with males please let me know ahead of time.

Information Casey B. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs I should know about. Other helpful information about every dog is their feeding schedule, what they respond best to (treats, toys, or verbal rewards), if they have a favorite toy or ball, and whether they get along with other dogs.
A typical day
I am happy to do whatever is best for your dog. Does he/she love the dog park or going to the beach? We can for a walk on the bridal path or play catch in the back yard. Each dog is different so please let me know what you would prefer. Your dog will get plenty of exercise while in my care, as I know how important that is when you are gone! I also have a very friendly, playful Aussiedoodle named Luna. She LOVES other dogs and for doggie day care or boarding at my home she will be happy to welcome any visitors. For first time drop-in visits or walks I will leave her at home so I can give your dog all of my attention, and for future visits I am happy to bring her if you'd like your dog to have a playmate. If you schedule a meet and greet I can bring her along to see if this is something you'd like and make sure they get along well.

Availability
Please see below for details and definitions of each type of booking: Boarding: 1 night includes 24 hours of care in my home, with client pick up and drop off. If you wish to have me pick up/drop off, I can do so for an extra $20 within a 10 mile radius of my home. Pups will receive the same treatment and attention as my own dog during boarding, with frequent potty breaks, walks, and play time. However, it is important to understand that I may need to leave the home to run errands, teach a class, or other obligations but I am never away from the home for more than 4 hours at a time and that would be a rare occasion. I try to be home as much as possible when I take a boarder. Day Care: Dogs are welcome to be dropped off after 9 am and picked up before 5 pm. As with boarding, I may be in and out of the house for errands. If your pup can't be left alone and you need "constant care", please see below. Walks and Drop-Ins: 30 minutes or 60 minutes of constant care. During a walk, I try to spend as much of the time walking the dog. You will receive a map of our walk that includes distance and time. For a drop in, I can do a walk as well as play, potty break, and simply give your pup the attention they may need! For longer care over 60 minutes, please see "constant care" below. Constant Care: I have added this option to these details but you will need to message me directly to book. Rover does not have an option for this so I will have to modify your booking. For those who need care over 1 hour but their pup cannot be left alone, this would be considered "constant care". Whether you are on vacation and need someone to come stay with your pup in your hotel, or your pup has separation anxiety and can't be left alone, this would be your best option. Constant care rates are booked at $50 for the first hour (i.e. a one hour drop in rate) plus $30 an hour after that. I am happy to stay with your pup at your place, or bring them to the beach, dog park, trail, or my home if you wish.
