Information Cassandra H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know of any behavior issues to look out for, all dogs deserve the best care and I want to meet your pet’s needs.

A typical day

I will provide tailored service to your specific companion’s needs. Most dogs need lots of sniffing stimulation on walks and I love to explore the neighborhoods with them. As a certified cat lady I will make sure your feline friends are safe and happy while you’re away.

Pet care experience

Need drop in visits or dog walking in Hyde Park or the surrounding area?! I have a car and will come to you. I’ve been an animal lover since birth and have always had a furry friend in my life, mostly cats and dogs but also dwarf hamsters and even an iguana! I will take immaculate care of any special family member of yours. I am skilled in handling reactive dogs, elderly pets and pets with special needs. Your pet’s health and safety is of the utmost importance to me. I listen and pay close attention to any communication your pet is giving me. Check out my reviews and let me know if you would like to schedule a meet and greet! I’m happy to help :)

Cassie is an excellent cat sitter. She took care of my cat while going through some medical stuff, and took the time to make sure her medication was administered correctly and with care, and also to help reassure and update me while I was away. I really appreciate it!

Cassie is absolutely amazing! She was super knowledgeable about caring for large dogs and my pup Enzo (80+ lbs) loved her instantly. He can be a bit anxious so having someone that reassured me, was very attentive, and provided lots of updates is super valuable. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker!

Cassie was great. Her communication was good and she provided good updates and photos. She was also able to pivot when one of our kitties needed additional care. We will definitely be booking with her again.
