loving care, when you aren't there!
Pet care experience
Throughout high school I offered dog walking and sitting for neighbors and family friends. Once I graduated, I was hired to start working with Police K9s. I have spent the last few years training apprehension, detection, tracking, etc. with several government agencies. Around the same time, I started offering training and boarding for pet dogs, and have been successfully running that business for the past few years. My love for dogs has only grown since. I have found a passion for providing high quality care to dogs in my care.
Reviews
Cassie is a super star foster home, trainer and takes great care of rescue dogs with home boarding. Many of our adopters also home board with her. She has great training skills, can exercise them, takes them on hikes and socializes them. Cassie can handle many pups and dogs, including multiple dogs when others cannot. She has been a life saver helping to foster or home board our German Shepherds and other large to medium breed dogs while she also trains them. The dogs learn basic to advance training and trust (love) her so when it's time for the dog's adoption, they are super well trained for their forever adoption home. You can trust her for the best care and training.
Cassie has been looking after my dog Rezz for a couple of years now, and I truly couldn’t ask for a better person to care for her. Rezz is so excited every time she sees Cassie, which says everything I need to know. When we’re away, I feel completely at ease knowing she’s in such loving and capable hands. Cassie is not only dependable and responsive, but she also goes out of her way to keep me updated with sweet messages and photos. I’m so grateful to have found someone I trust wholeheartedly with my girl.
I first met Cassandra (Cassie) when we adopted our dog, Rocky, a couple of years ago. She was an excellent foster! Rocky knew his commands and was such a happy and friendly guy. He still is. We regularly ask Cassie to board Rocky when we leave town. He is always excited to see her and I trust him with her completely. Cassie is an experienced trainer and handler. She is kind, relaible, and wonderful with dogs. You can tell that she genuinely enjoys working with them. We feel lucky to still have Cassie in Rocky's life and are grateful to have her as a dog boarder/sitter. I highly reccommend Cassie without any reservations!
Cassie is the most caring, knowledgeable, and fun person for your pup to stay with. She grew up around dogs, fosters dogs, and trains dogs professionally. Her accommodations for your pup's stay include an acre of fenced land, with multiple gated play areas. I know that she gives much wanted attention to all her canine guests, keeping them well exercised, entertained, and comfortable. Every dog I know is so excited to visit her, and they get the "zoomies" after hopping out of the car. Cassie is simply the best!

Safety, trust & environment
Safety is my top priority, and fun a close second. I run a structured boarding business focused on providing a fun, mentally and physically enriching stay for your dog. I live on a 1+ acre, fully fenced property and utilize the use of high quality crates and tethers for dogs to help everyone successfully co-exist. With the large space, dogs are able to properly communicate and explore - eliminating the feeling of being stressed and cramped which often results in altercations between dogs. I have extensive experience reading body language between dogs and can pair or separate dogs based on several factors - confidence, size, play style, etc.

Information Cassie D. would like to know about your pet
I can only accommodate dogs who are crate trained, I have high quality crates for medium, large and XL dogs here at my home! I can accommodate dogs who require medical or behavioral accommodations, such as dog reactivity and people reactivity. I ask that these potential accommodations are disclosed ahead of time.
A typical day
Mental and physical exercise is my priority! I love to let the dogs romp and explore on the acre property for a lot of the day! Having space to sniff and explore is vital to helping dogs decompress. Inside, I love to do fun trick training sessions with the dogs, brain games and I also have a dog treadmill.

Dog boarding and training is my career, so I have built my schedule and life around providing the best care for each pup at my house! I have a few in person training clients and police department K9s I train with weekly, but outside of that I am home caring for dogs! While I am out of the house doing dog training or running errands, dogs nap in crates!
