Animals are 100% better than people

Pet care experience

Grew up in a home filled with pets (cats, dogs, hamsters, chinchilla, mice, rabbits, fish) and have always had a love for animals. I have never lived in a home without a furry baby :) My family had a german shepherd, and later a shepherd/hound mix, so I have experience walking and running with large/energetic breeds. We had many rescue cats (either tabbies or calicos) and I have owned/cared/looked after both young and old pets; my first cat lived to be 23, cared for goldendoodle and aussiedoodle puppies, cared for a shih tzu until ~15 y/o, and I currently have a rescue cat (2 y/o).

We recently had the pleasure of entrusting our beloved feline companions, Leo and Bella, to the care of Cassandra while we were away on a trip. From the moment we met Cassandra, it was evident that she possessed a genuine love and passion for cats, putting our minds at ease and allowing us to travel with complete peace of mind. Cassandra's dedication to providing top-notch care for Leo and Bella was truly commendable. She went above and beyond to create a comfortable and stimulating environment for them in our absence. Daily updates, including adorable pictures and anecdotes, were a delightful touch that kept us connected with our fur babies and reassured us that they were in capable and caring hands. One of the standout qualities of Cassandra's cat-sitting service was her attention to detail. She took the time to understand Leo and Bella's unique personalities, preferences, and routines. This personalized approach ensured that they not only received the necessary feeding and litter box maintenance but also enjoyed playtime, cuddles, and the companionship they needed. Moreover, Cassandra demonstrated a high level of professionalism throughout the entire process. Communication was seamless, and she was prompt in responding to any queries or concerns. Her reliability and trustworthiness were evident, leaving us with the confidence that our cats were receiving the best care possible. In addition to her caregiving skills, Cassandra maintained a clean and organized living space, reflecting her commitment to creating a safe and hygienic environment for our pets. In conclusion, we cannot recommend Cassandra enough for anyone seeking a reliable and compassionate cat sitter. Her genuine love for animals, coupled with her professionalism and attention to detail, makes her an exceptional choice for anyone looking to provide their cats with the care and affection they deserve while away. We are immensely grateful for the peace of mind she brought us during our travels and will undoubtedly be reaching out to her for future pet-sitting needs. Thank you, Cassandra, for being a purr-fect cat sitter and for taking such wonderful care of Leo and Bella!

Cassandra is such a delight, our new puppy adores her! She was on time and very attentive to any specific instructions we had. We appreciate her great suggestions with respect to helping our new little fur baby become well trained. Neighbours commented how sweet she was playing in the yard with our puppy.

Cassandra dropped in on our 3 cats daily while we were camping. Each day we got a detailed message regarding our cats as well as at least 6 candid photos. Our cats loved playing with Cassandra and warmed up to her quickly. We were able to enjoy a relaxing vacation with our fur-babies well taken care of. We will definitely us Cassandra again.

Safety, trust & environment

- playing (inside or outside) with high-energy pets who need to burn off steam - staying low-key to cuddle and soothe more introverted pets - I'm experienced and comfortable with brushing cats and dogs to help maintain healthy coats - long or short walks for dogs who need to stretch their legs and get some fresh air - I have walked large and small dogs (examples: german shepherd, husky, rottweiler, bouvier, beagle, shih tzu, goldendoodle, aussiedoodle).

Information Cassandra E. would like to know about your pet

It's helpful to know: - any specific behavioural traits (ex. if he starts whining at you, he probably needs to poop, but he only likes pooping near the long grass by the fence) - any cuddles that are off-limits (ex. not liking ears touched, does not like being picked up or only being picked up a specific way) - any triggers (ex. squirrels, loud cars, children yelling, etc.)

A typical day

I love going for neighbourhood and trail walks (the Nokidaa trail is great), and for dogs that like a little more pep in their step I can jog with them too! Love to play fetch and wrestle with toys (no biting though!), and I even taught 2 previous dogs of mine how to play hide-and-seek indoors :D
