Availability
I’m a creative consultant helping mission-driven individuals and nonprofits reach their goals and make maximum impact. I work mostly from home, which allows me plenty of flexibility to accommodate dog walking times, feedings, and cuddle sessions. On the days I have in-person meetings, they typically last 1–3 hours, so I can easily plan around them to ensure pets get the attention and care they need throughout the day.

About Cassandra R.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes. I live in a small 500-square-foot cottage with my two cats, and my adult daughter comes home from grad school occasionally, so caring for pets in my own home isn’t feasible. Focusing on in-home care allows me to give each pet personalized attention in their familiar environment, keeping them safe, comfortable, and stress-free while their families are away
Information Cassandra R. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any quirks or issues I’d need to watch out for. No dogs who tend to bite as that gives me anxiety and I’m not at my best in those situations.
A typical day
I love playing fetch with dogs and basically any other games that they enjoy. I always feel like I need more exercise so nice long walks are always fun!

Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Cassandra, you can call me Cass if you like. I grew up in the farmlands of western Massachusetts, where animals were everywhere, so I’ve been surrounded by them my whole life. Most pets feel instantly comfortable with me, and I’ve even successfully tamed feral kittens for rehoming on several occasions. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and even a chicken or two, and I work part-time at a dog sanctuary fostering small dogs from Mexico to loving homes in the Bay Area. I’m patient, attentive, and adaptable, able to meet each pet’s unique needs—whether it’s a senior dog requiring extra care, a shy cat needing gentle reassurance, or a playful pup ready for walks and cuddles. I treat every pet as if they were my own.

Reviews
Cassandra was so great!! She was so kind with Walter, and sent me photos of how it went with him. It was also so easy to coordinate with her over text on how to get into my apartment (with a code) and on how to administer Walter's medication (oral and pill). I can't recommend more!!
Thank you Cassandra! Very professional and she got Kate’s confidence very easily. She is not a shy cat but she needs to warm up to strangers, and during the 30mn visits, she provided our cat the care she needed, mostly pets 🥰 and Kate loved her (our last sitter had one visit without seeing Kate, who stayed hidden…) We were able to leave for the weekend without being worried :) I recommend her warmly!
Cassandra was great! She was very communicative and timely and took great care of Almond. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again for any future needs.
Cassandra has been a fantastic sitter. She goes above and beyond to make sure my new puppy is well cared for (and handled many logistical mishaps on my part with grace). She is very communicative and will also ask for more direction beyond what's listed on my profile. I will happily be a repeat client.
