Highlights
Pet care experience
loving sitter 5m. from TSDP
I'm excited to bond with your pet! I am the trusted go-to for my friends and family for their pet care needs. I have watched cats and dogs in all capacities from drop-ins to extended stay in home and boardings. As well as fostering rescue dogs, I rescued many stray cats, and found them forever homes. In fact, the adorable tabby in my pictures, Chloé, is a rescue that I brought back to the States with me. While your pet is in my care, I will love them just as I would my own. I love playing with pets, grooming them, cuddling them - I just love animals! I will always opt for sweetness and cooperation before taking a stern approach.

Ratings and reviews
Cassandra was amazing! We’re definitely nervous dog parents, but we felt completely comfortable leaving her with Cassandra. She was reliable and kept us updated throughout our trip with photos on the Rover app, which gave us so much peace of mind. We also visited Cassandra’s home for a meet & greet beforehand, and it’s such a great environment for dogs, with lots of grass nearby and a very dog-friendly neighborhood. Boxelle was so happy and relaxed when we picked her up. You can really tell how much Cassandra loves and cares for her animals, and we felt like Boxelle was in wonderful hands. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!
Cassandra was absolutely fantastic with our fur babies (dog and cat) while we were on a near two week vacation. Checked in regularly and showed them lots of love and attentive care. Would absolutely book with her on a regular basis knowing they were well looked after.
Cassandra was super sweet with Nala, very accommodating, and took great care of her!
Cassandra was so welcoming with Toby Can't thank her enough ! What a gem of a cat/dog auntie ♥️♥️♥️
Great experience!
Cassandra was amazing . I was looking for a home away from home for my lovable goofball Silly, who can be a handful (especially on leash). Cassandra was fabulous! A total animal lover and dog handler. I was able to relax knowing Silly was in good hands having fun, getting lots of love and cuddles.

Schedule
I have a very flexible schedule as I am currently studying online, and have no commitments beyond that. I am happy to care for your pet as you need. The Stuytown dog park is out the back door of my building, and the Tompkins Square dog park is just a 5 minutes walk down Avenue B. My partner is an E.R. doctor and sometimes does a string of 3-4 overnight shifts in a row. Having extra company here is such a delight! ***Willing to be generous with recurring customers with good pets. In my spare time, I enjoy growing my own food, raising rare plants, arranging flowers, working in my studio, and going to yoga.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
As I would ask of my pet-sitter, I first make sure all basic needs are met according to the stipulations provided by you. From there, I’ll focus on walks and bathroom time, play, cuddles, entertainment, training and maintaining habits for your pet. Please let me know exactly what you are working on so we can practice and maintain your desired habits and routines. I’ll check in if I have any questions or concerns about your pet during their stay here. I love taking pictures of your pets, and sometimes I even get out the nice camera when we go to the park. You will get lots of photos! You can expect me to be at home most of the time with your pet. I am pro pets on the furniture and bed, but if you are not, I'm happy to maintain your rules at home during your pet's stay in my care. I have one pet of my own here. She is a sweet, social, and playful cat named Chloe that I rescued while I live in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. We traveled to the States together in the early fall of 2021. At first she will be a bit wary of new pets and people, but she quickly evolves into a playful and engaging companion. She very infrequently will attack, growl, or hiss. She is generally curious and enjoys the company of other people and animals after she's had a short amount of time to assess them. She had her most recent physical in March, and she is totally healthy. A few standards you can expect me to follow whle caring for your pets in my home: *I only use non-harmful cleaning products in my home like vinegar, castille soap, baking soda, and if a disinfectant is required, some rubbing alchohol. *All common cat and dog toxic foods are stored in high cabinets out of reach, but if your pet has any other allergies, please let me know so I can keep those items in a safe place too. *I will never offer your pets people food. *I have a spare room, so I am able to separate pets if they need to be separtaed. ***Please do not ask to pay using any other method than with Rover. It is against policy, and I will not accept it.

A typical day
I will be ready to feed your pet in the morning, and then we will promptly go out for a walk or playtime in the park. Our time during this will depend on the weather and your pet's preferences. I will message you if your pet's bathroom habits seem unusual to what you specified, so don't be shy to elaborate about. After outside time, we'll head back inside for water and any other approprate activities before a repose. I am very responsive to bathroom needs. When your pet is ready, we'll take another trip, or even multiple trips, outside before dinner. I do not leave the local area while your pet is in my care. Sometimes I am running errands around the area, and your pet is invited to join me if they would like to and if it's appropriate. If you have cats, the litter will be cleaned at minimun once a day. I will happily take your dog to the Tompkins Square Dog Park, or for a nice long walk around Stuytown. If your pet is bookish, we may even visit and cafe and study or do some work together. Please leave your dog’s/cat’s preferred toys so we can play inside too.
