Pet care experience

Life long pet owner and caregiver.

Hi, I’m Cassie and I’m here to fill all of your pet care needs! As a pet owner myself, 2 cats and a GSD, I know how hard it is to leave your pets behind when you travel or are simply in a busy season. I struggle with it myself. When you are away, your pets deserve attention, playtime, cuddles, and a normal routine right in their own home, where they feel safest. As a Bloomington-Normal native, I grew up in the country with all sorts of pets. In addition to our family cats and dogs I also cared for chickens and horses. My mother was a science teacher and every summer we would bring home the animals from her classroom: birds, rabbits, hamsters, and a tarantula. I learned very young not all pets are created the same, and an individualized approach to care was not only respectful of the pet, but also required for their safety. I have cared for pets in all stages of life from puppy/kitten through terminal cancer support in senior years. I adhere to the essential laws of pet happiness: 1) Food must appear on time every day. 2) Walks must include maximum sniffing time and end with belly rubs. 3) Playtime is serious business. 4) Cuddles are required on any day ending in “Y” unless alone time is signaled for. In all seriousness, I provide dependable services designed to keep your pets, safe, happy, and engaged while also providing you with peace of mind that your furry children are well cared for while you are away. While visiting your home, I am respectful of your property, your provided guidelines, and the trust you have placed in me to care for your pet. I have schedule flexibility and can work with your household schedule for walking, sitting, or drop in care. PRIOR TO ACCEPTING a booking I will request a meet and greet to ensure I am a good fit for you and your furry child.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have a privacy fenced in yard making potty time easy and stress free. My home is not on a main street, making it a quiet environment for your pet. I also have one playful dog who can keep your pup company. I have crates of all sizes, and can easily crate your dog if crate training is what you practice at home. I have extra leashes for walks and plenty of toys to go around. Since I work from home, your pet will be with me a majority of the day. They will have maximum 4 hours a day alone while with me. Feeding and medication schedules will be adhered too. I have extra bowls and slow feeders for use as well.

Cassandra has watched Selene a few times and does a really great job. Selene gets excited when she comes over and has started running up to see her! I appreciate that she takes Selene on walks and makes her happy while she’s here!
