Pet care experience
PLEASE NOTE- As a new foster parent to a human (no paws?? what?) my schedule is a bit irregular. Please allow for a delay in correspondence, and understanding if I'm unable to sit or walk for your pet at this time. I miss my furry friends IMMENSELY, and do try to maintain as much walking/sitting availability as possible. Thank you for your compassion. My dogs are my best friends in the world, I get pet parents. I empathize with the desire for frequent pics and updates, with the demand that your pet get all the love and attention you'd normally give them. That's what I bring to the table. I've got the stamina to tire-out even the most energetic pups, as well as tons of affection and cuddles for the mellow couch-potatos. When I'm with your dog or cat, I'll be treating them like they're one of my own. If you need frequent texts and pictures sent over, I can do that. In fact I love to do that, I love photographing animals, even the less-than-cooperative ones. For a walk or a drop-in visit I'm available from 9am on until about 6pm. I have a few years of experience sitting for other people's dogs, and grew up in a household with cats, a dog, guinea pigs, a rabbit, rats, and a gerbil. If you’re looking for someone to help care for your pet, who is willing to go above and beyond, consider me. Additionally I do have experience with pet rats and guinea pigs, chicken coops, and am always willing to learn more in order to accommodate a new species of animal!
Reviews
Cassandra is absolutely wonderful! I have a skittish dog and she handled her with great care. Would highly recommend!
Cassandra was fantastic! Very professional and experienced with taking care of animals. Felt very comfortable leaving my cat in her care. Will definitely be asking her to watch our cat again!
Cassandra was so great with my dog, I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!
Cassandra was very quick with her responses and on time! Definitely will be using her again.

I always make sure to get as much information as possible on a client’s pet, I think being proactive about meeting the animal and the human and understanding their needs and personalities are the most important part of this job. Whenever possible I will suggest a meet & greet to get to know you both, it’s an important way to gain your pet’s trust so they don’t see me as a stranger on our first walk. From there, you tell me what you and your pet need, and I’ll get it done.
Information Cassandra M. would like to know about your pet
Let me know your dog's temperament, what they like/don't like, their schedule, and anything else that is important to you! I’ve found that’s the best way to integrate myself into your furry friend’s life as seamlessly as possible.
A typical day
I like to start my day with a brisk walk, we can get our exercise in before breakfast! I'm a pretty big fan of playing fetch and tug, and teaching my dog silly tricks like jumping over obstacles and kissing on command.

Availability
Currently my art is on the back burner while our lives adjust to having a small human. So at this time pet care for my regular clients is my main job, as it allows me plenty of time to raise my daughter & still do something that I love.
