Former veterinary assistant
Pet care experience
Hello! I have had animals my entire life, from dogs and cats to farm animals. In addition to growing up caring for my pets, I was a veterinary assistant for three years in vet clinics, and I worked in a large humane society managing the care and health of all the animals for one year. This means I am familiar with giving oral and injection medication, administering fluids, monitoring bathroom habits, caring for senior animals and very young animals, and behavior of all kinds!
Reviews
Another wonderful cat care weekend by Cassandra. Great cat care, update messages, and entertaining photos!
Another great cat care weekend from Cassandra: skillful, thoughtful. And helpful communications!
We recommend Cassandra highly! Great cat care, very responsive communications, and helpful messaging.
Cassandra did an amazing job watching over our two cats while my wife and I were on vacation. She was very attentive to their needs and really went above and beyond during her visits. Would definitely rebook with her in the future!
About Cassandra A.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have handled extreme behaviors in several different types of animals and know how to safely deescalate a situation if necessary. When visiting homes, I always make sure to have the owners introduce me to their animals outside first (when possible) and then again in the home so they understand that I am not trying to harm them, or their people. This way when I visit alone, they remember the positive interactions we have had already.
Information Cassandra A. would like to know about your pet
I am happy to work with animals if all abilities and health levels. I have experience with a range of behaviors, health conditions and ages. Please let me know if you have any special concerns you would like me to monitor!
A typical day
I love helping animals enjoy their day! Whether that's on walls, through interactive toys, lick mats or just snuggling, I am happy to help out any way that I can!
