Furkids need love and hugs too
Pet care experience
Hi! I grew up on the beaches of Florida and spent some summers at my grandparents' farm where I learned to care for different animals including animals with special needs. I have been caring for all sorts of animals, from dogs, cats, birds, bunnies down to gold fish, for family, friends and neighbors since I was eight years old on and off throughout my life. I have volunteered as a rescue parent and even became a foster fail parent twice. With my personal experience on the farm, rescuing and fostering dogs and cats, I am qualified to care for your pet(s) and provide for their needs (including special medical needs, such as administering medication, if necessary). I am open to caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, even fish tanks while you are gone. I’m an easy-going, person who stays pretty active when I am not pet-sitting. Sometimes I enjoy staying home relaxing with a book and a nice cup of coffee or tea. I currently have two fur kiddos of my own. My Mini Schnauzer Shih-Tzu mix, Luna, and Yorkie Chihuahua mix, Baby Girl, are very chill & friendly in the house, outside, and they love to go for long walks or a short run. I am very responsible, flexible, and always respond quickly to any questions. I look forward to hearing from you!
Reviews
Cassandra stayed at our home to take care of our pets while we took the Youth Group on an out of state trip. She took great care of the varying needs of our three babies. We received twice a day updates with specifics that told me the babies were being well taken care of. Our cat is not a big people person so when Cassandra texted that Onyx had woken her up by walking on her face, I knew Cassandra must have been approved by Onyx. We will definitely see if Cassandra is available the next time we travel. It was wonderful to be away without worrying about our pets.
Cassandra is a lifesaver. And she's a fantastic dog sitter. She came at 6 am and took care of Edward for 4 hours on extremely short notice. Edward had a wonderful morning while I was at dialysis. He can't wait to see her again tomorrow and Saturday. ?
Cassandra is hands down one of the best pet-sitter I have ever come across. I met Cassandra through a co-worker and she has been a blessing helping my dogs acclimate to South Dakota. I have two Aussie's who have very high energy, Cassandra has taken them hiking when she's had free days and they come back very happy and tired enough to just lay with me and rest. We absolutely adore her and will continue having her as my go to pet-sitter.
Communicative. Caring. Left notes and sent updates. Everything we could have asked for from a pet sitter. Would absolutely recommend and request her services again

A typical day
I enjoy hiking, long walks and playing fetch with my own kiddos. If this something that your kiddos enjoy, I'd be more than happy to take them with me or any other activity they enjoy.

I am currently pet sitting full time, this leaves me plenty of planning time for all pet care needs, activities and time to schedule accordingly.
