Pet care experience

Professional Groomer and Trainer

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.

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!

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!

We couldn’t be happier with Cassie’s care of our home and dogs while we were away! We have two middle-aged dogs and a puppy, and each of them was clearly well loved and cared for—happy, relaxed, and full of energy when we returned. Cassie went above and beyond in keeping our house spotless; in fact, it was cleaner than when we left, which is saying a lot given all the rain during our trip. It gave us such peace of mind knowing both our pets and our home were in such capable hands. Cassie is responsible, attentive, and truly wonderful—we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

Cassandra did an amazing job sitting Shadow! Every day, she provided an extremely detailed report of how he did. She went above and beyond, providing free training services (again, very detailed and professional), and even cleaned the house so that's even cleaner than when we left it! All in all, I will be highly recommending Cassie for all of my friends & family, and I will DEFINITELY be calling her again for future sittings! Thanks again, Cassie, for everything you've done!! This experience was truly above & beyond my expectations!

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.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
