Pet care experience

We have a handful of dogs all rescues that have been given another life. I love and enjoy training and retraining our furry kids, grooming, bathing them, and providing love that they have never experienced before! I have lots of time to give them as I work out of the home with TV time at night! :) It seems that all dogs get along with our bunch as I make sure the environment is calm and everyone is friendly. We. Have currently relocated to a new home on 5 acres. I have my own separate entrance on the lower level for a separate dog area. I also spend most of my days taking them around the trails from miles and they are completely worn out at the end of the day! I s have currently relocated to a new home on 5 acres. I have my own separate entrance on the lower level for a separate doggy area. I also spend most of my days taking them around the trails for miles and they are completely worn out at the end of the day! I will still take dogs during the month of June but my new area will be finished in one month from now! I have watched & babysat dogs and other animals for over 17 years and train in my own home. I have had a lot of experience administering medicine for our little dog that was sick for quite some time. Our current dogs are up to date on shots, get Natural Balance food and treats, have luxury beds & blankets, their own dog den palace and get all of my attention! I will provide pick up and drop off as needed and also send you an update text/photo daily through Rover and/or cell if you request. I also have experience in administering medicines and other care as needed. If you have questions please call or email me and you are more than welcome to visit our home prior to sitting to see where your furry "kid" will be staying! Why I love dog sitting My love for dogs started at 3 years old when my parents decided that 3 German Shepards would keep me company. Needless to say that was a bit much but in the dog world more is less! Since then I have have many different kinds of animals and now have dogs and a horse. All of our furry babies are rescues, a variety of breeds, and my husband and I enjoy the re-training process of helping these neglected dogs have a wonderful outlook on life again! I have had much experience with delivering puppies, administering medicines, healing extremely sick dogs, training afraid or untrained dogs, and communicating with them. I love every aspect of what they stand for and believe that even the most difficult dog can overcome their weaknesses to be the most amazing companion! About my yard We do have a backyard…unfenced... It's pretty large...5 acres!!!!!I do have a fenced in area as well! Enough for the dogs to play and run around during rain or snow. In the winter though, I don't let the dogs stay out long at all due to the snow/ice/salt/that can get in their fur and paws. Unless of course they love the snow! My experience administering medication Absolutely…I have done it many times.

I wish I could say something negative so I don't have to compete with other clients for future stays, but I can't. Cassandra was awesome with our dog. He gets anxious when away from home and Cassandra helped him acclimate and fit in with the other dogs. She kept us apprised during our trip and was very responsive whenever we had questions and when we were arranging drop-off/Pick-up times,

Cassandra is awesome! She really cares about our dog Meigo and spends her own time to train / get to know her. We were worried about Meigo not eating well but Cassandra got her to eat successfully! When we picked her up, she even give us some recommendations on how to get her to be more interested in the food and such. We love Cassandra! Definitely recommend her!!!

Information Cassandra J. would like to know about your pet

I do not have any preferences and I love all breeds! It is important to know their temperament and if they get along with other dogs. Also, if they have medical issues, medications needed, and special requests. I have no problem helping them adapt though with anything from snipping to barking to etc. I also send pictures and updates daily through Rover but many of my clients prefer through email or text. This is if requested As I do get really busy!

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks I will take them out on our 5 acres... a trail from front to back.... If they cannot go out for long due to weather, I will make sure to give them ample time playing and running in the house....Lower level with its own separate entrance unless we need to be in the upper level! If you Your dog's sleeping arrangement They will have options. Our dogs love sleeping in their beds…with each other…in plush blankets. There are extra clean beds from small to large always available. Lower level with its own separate entrance unless we need to be in the upper level! and large and medium cage/kennel they can sleep in as well lined with blankets if they prefer crates as their safe haven. The couches are available as well. Time I'll spend with your dog I am home overall 24/7. So, other than sleeping…they will get as much time as need be. I will not bother them while they rest and it's important to give them time to be alone or play with each other, but will make sure they are walked, played with, fed, held, brushed, and loved. I want them to feel like they are home with their family.
