Availability
I work for ISU, so during the summer, I have a very flexible schedule. As long as I have time to take care of my own dogs (a senior and puppy), I am available to assist folks with their own pets.

About Cassandra D.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
There are several things I consider when walking dogs: 1) Familiarity of the area for your dog / their anxiety (if any) - If your dog is anxious, I don't want to take them to areas they are not comfortable. This is especially true when they do not know me well yet. I'd rather do several laps near the home than stress them out. 2) Weather - It's hot out there. I will stick to walks on grass whenever possible to ensure their paws are not damaged by hot concrete. On particularly hot days, I would prefer to keep the walk short, followed by play inside. 3) Traffic in the area - Safety first!
Information Cassandra D. would like to know about your pet
Does your dog have any behavioral concerns? Ex: Food or toy aggression; separation anxiety; eating feces; leash aggression with other dogs; escape artist Medical concerns? Ex: Heat sensitivity, allergies If you have more than one dog, do they do better walked together or alone? How do you feel about dog park trips? Especially for households without fenced yards and energetic dogs. I have no breed preference
A typical day
In terms of dog walking, I will arrive and immediately take the pet outside for a bathroom break. Upon completion, we will either continue our walk or return inside for playtime and feeding as needed. This depends on weather, age of the pet, etc. I will stay for the full length of the booking. If the pet refused to do their business, I may check the inside of the home to ensure no accidents happened (if so, I clean it up).

Pet care experience
Greetings! My name is Cassie, and I am a self-proclaimed crazy corgi mom. I have had dogs of my own for 14 years (corgis named Camden and Savannah), and cats for over 20 years. I also worked at a veterinary clinic from age 16 to 20 - full disclosure, I was a receptionist, not a vet tech. However, my time there has helped develop my comfort with furry friends of all sizes. I have no fear of any breeds. I have worked with Great Danes, Mastiffs, Rottweilers, Pitt Bulls, GSD, and more. I am a military veteran with a law enforcement background. I know how nerve-wracking inviting a stranger into your home to take care of your loved ones. Trust is earned, and I hold myself to a high standard. My day job has very flexible hours during the summer, so I have plenty of availability during the day to help care for your pets. I have taken care of dogs who needed oral medication and sub-dermal injections. I am also comfortable giving insulin to cats, though not oral medication (unless liquid).

Always coming in clutch for our last minute trips even when it’s last minute. Our dogs love Cassie and we love the peace of mind she gives us!
Amazing job -Always!!! We can’t remember what we did before Cassie came into our lives! She takes excellent care of our boys!!
Thank you so much for coming super last minute to cover my mistake in scheduling. You are the best. Bubba and I appreciate you so very much.
We have used Cassie multiple times for our pets. She is great with our cats and dogs, always very caring and attentive. I'm glad to have a pet sitter I can count on!
