About Cassandra C.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
Because of my background working with dogs professionally, I am more structured and safety minded than most but it works in your benefit when leaving your pups in my care. I strive to follow the dog’s usual routines as closely as possible and make sure that exercise, mental stimulation, feeding, and play needs are met according to each pup’s requirements and owner preferences. There is no ‘one size fits all’ care routine when it comes to dogs since they are all individual and different just like people!
Information Cassandra C. would like to know about your pet
I accept nearly every pet, regardless of species, age, size, health, behavior, medical or nutrition needs, bite history, etc. But in order to meet all their needs and provide a safe, fulfilling, and stable experience for them and you, I need you to be entirely honest about their strengths and struggles. It may not be simple or easy but we will work together to find solutions and put plans in place that will set your pet up for success, and give you the confidence in their care that every owner deserves.
A typical day
Each animal has their own personality and interests, and part of what makes them fascinating is finding what it takes to draw them out of their shell and build trust, confidence, and engagement. Each dog is different, and therefore the activities and games that suit them will be different! Whether their favorite thing is spending hours playing fetch, cuddling up under the blankets, taking lazy strolls around the neighborhood, people watching at the coffee shop, or even training and learning new things, I will make sure to combine familiar and comforting activities with exciting new things and games to make sure they are dropping into their beds exhausted at the end of the day, and bouncing out of them with excitement in the morning!

Professional Groomer and Trainer
Pet care experience
Pet Care isn’t only my profession, it’s also my passion. I grew up volunteering at animal shelters, rescuing strays, grooming family and friend’s pets to earn new books, and participating in 4H. That developed into working at an animal shelter, fostering and training stay dogs, and horseback competitions. I learned to groom through a mentorship at a grooming and boarding facility, and now specialize with aggressive and anxious dogs who are turned away from other grooming shops! I’m currently in a mentorship for dog training at a training and boarding facility and continue to foster whenever the opportunity arises. My priority is always honest, compassionate, and ethical pet care. I am equally passionate about people as I am about pets, and strive to make myself a judgement-free resource for owners who feel confused, overwhelmed, or out of resources. Whether that’s teaching owners how to properly brush their dog, helping owners understand their pet’s behavior, finding resources, creating solutions for pet problems, assisting with rehoming when life doesn’t go as planned, or even just helping to foster a healthy and confident relationship between owner and pet. I have worked with ALL sizes, ages, and temperaments and I love all of them. I have worked with special needs dogs, and dogs with extra medical requirements.
Reviews
Cassandra C. cancelled a booking 2 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Cassandra cared for our two (very large) German Shepherds in our home while we were away and she did an outstanding job. Our oldest one requires more care and we felt he was left in fully capable, patient, and trusting hands with her. Our youngest one was given lots of attention and care as well. She’s quite knowledgeable and familiar with dogs’ needs and we felt very comfortable and at ease the whole time knowing how well Cassandra was caring for them. You can trust Cassandra will care for your precious pups as if they were her own and treat your home with respect.
Cassandra took such great care of our 4 kids! We are so glad she was able to sit for us! She sent incredible picture of our kids while we were gone. Took care of our special needs baby! We will only use her as our sitter! Our first Rover experience was perfect and we got the best sitter!
We had a wonderful experience with Cassandra who house-sat our senior dogs, who require regular oral meds. She handled everything with great care and attention. She kept us informed, and even washed and tidied our space before leaving, which is highly appreciated. Thanks a lot, Cassandra!
