Availability

Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, with the most availability during evenings and weekends. While weekday daytime visits are limited, I can often accommodate early morning visits with advance notice. I’m happy to work with pet parents to create a schedule that supports their needs and provides consistent, attentive care.

Safety, trust & environment

I follow the owner’s instructions closely and double-check that food, litter, medications, and doors are all handled with care and consistency. I’m mindful of locking up securely, respecting boundaries, and keeping a calm, clean presence in the home. I also monitor the pet behavior for any signs of stress or changes and communicate with the owner to keep them informed and reassured while they’re away.

Information Cassandra N. would like to know about your pet

I love to know about personality! Tell me how your pet(s) typically behave, their favorite toys and treats, things they may be picky about or dislike. Every personality is unique and I want to cater to them.

A typical day

Pet dependent, once I understand if they are more driven by mental agility challenges or physical playtime, I can determine which style of approach to take and what kind of activity may suit their needs. From laser pointers to fetch (even some cats, mine included!) or treat puzzles, there's something for everyone.

Tailored Care for Every Pet

Pet care experience

I’ve shared my life with animals for as long as I can remember, and have been independently caring for them for the past 7+ years — this includes looking after dogs, cats, and rabbits of my own and for others as well as experience fostering. As such, I've had the opportunity to meet and cater to a wide range of unique personalities and needs. I understand every pet has different preferences on approach and care and place the comfort and happiness of the animals and their owners as a top priority. I am also confident in being able to establish trust and administer special care or medication upon request so long as specific instructions are provided.

Cassandra was very kind and gracious during our meet and greet. She is very knowledgeable about cats and their peculiar behaviors. She kept me updated with Matilda's daily eating habits and water intake. I was well at ease having Cassandra care for my sweet baby. I will definitely use her again.

Cassandra is the best pet parent ever! She loves to connect with a pets on many levels. She has such a loving way about her interaction with animals. She has multiple pets herself and they are her the sunshine in her every day life. She caters to each individual pet based on their unique personalities and needs. Cassandra will make sure your pet is loved and cared for just like her own.

I can’t recommend Cassandra N. enough as a pet sitter! When I was in a tough spot and didn’t have a place for my cat to stay, Cassandra stepped in without hesitation. She took such amazing care of her giving her love, attention, and a safe space when I really needed the help. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my cat was in good hands, and I could tell how comfortable and happy she was while staying with Cassandra. She was gentle, attentive, and treated her like family. I truly appreciate everything she did, and I know she’ll bring that same care and dedication to every pet she looks after. Any pet parent would be lucky to have Cassandra watching over their furry friend!
