Masters degree in Animal Behavior!

Pet care experience

I’m open to taking new clients! Primarily cat clients would work best with my current work schedule, but open to taking on dog clients if the times align with my schedule! I currently work on Wednesdays (10am-8pm), Thursdays (11am-9:30pm), Fridays (6am-4pm), and Saturdays (7am-12pm) I am able to do anything around those days/times though! Last July, I graduated with my master’s degree in Animal Behavior. I have learned advanced animal behavior knowledge ranging from training, mental stimulation, and body language. I am available for basic training services if desired! In June of 2023, I graduated with a Bachelor’s of Science in Veterinary Technology program and became a Licensed Veterinary Technician. Through this vigorous coursework, I gained handling skills and much more of all types of animals. I just finished a 14 week externship in a well known veterinary hospital in Boston, increasing my animal handling experience. I have cared for dogs my whole life, personally and professionally.

Cassandra is a wonderful pet sitter! We’re so thankful for her help with our old pug and cat. She was extremely responsive, attentive and we look forward to have her look after our pets again!

Cassandra was absolutely amazing! She provided daily updates with pictures and went out of her way to make sure our animals were comfortable while we were out of town. Her kindness, professionalism and attention to detail were truly impressive. If we ever need someone to care for our animals, we know who to call!!

Cassandra is an absolute peach! She took care of our sweet cat Maya for two weeks while we were away. We never felt a moment's hesitation to leave her in Cassandra's care. We have had Cassandra take care of our cat multiple times and highly recommend her to anyone. Cassandra is just amazing.

Cassandra watched over our two newfies for the past several days, and did a great job! They clearly adore her, and loved the pics she sent. My kids were worried about the dogs when we were away, and the reassurance she provided was priceless!
