With Cassandra, you are in safe hands. It is no exaggeration when I say I would trust her with my life, she is incredibly responsible, smart and knowledgable regarding animal care and wellbeing. I have known her about 5 years now and can not only vouch for her reputation but also her capability for caring animals. Outside of personal experience, Cassandra has a wealth of knowledge regarding animal welfare. She currently works for an animal research facility, has previously worked on a farm and studied animal science at the University of Minnesota. She is an excellent communicator and know your dog will be loved, looked after and nurtured. Her home in Texas is PERFECT for dogs of all sizes she has a fenced in back yard and works from home so she would be able to give around the clock attention to your pet. Your dog would be so lucky to have a space all its own to exercise and have plenty of enriching opportunities to sniff out the space. Her cat has over a decade of experience interacting with dogs as well :) I could go on and on but I do hope you reach out and give Cassandra a chance, I truly believe she would be a perfect fit as a sitter for you and your dog or cat. I highly recommend :)
