Our hilltop home, gone to the dogs!
Pet care experience
I grew up on a dairy farm and have worked with animals my whole life. I run my family's dog care business so I work from home most days and can also rearrange my schedule to be home, but I do fill in quickly and won't ever overbook so that each dog can get the individual attention they need. I also have the ability if dogs ride well to take them to my business for bigger playgroups and grooming! I love learning about dog behavior and health. I work closely with trainers and vets to provide the best care possible and always improve! We have wooded trails where dogs enjoy leashed walks as well as fenced in areas off my house for off leash supervised playtimes. I have a heart for giant breed dogs but will happily spoil any breed. We also do a lot of fostering for rescues. I did have an infant daughter but we have a wonderful setup in our house to keep everyone safe and happy. One of my own dogs wasn't a big fan of babies when we brought her home either, so I'm very equipped to handle pups that don't care for kids! I do a lot of babywearing but my husband and other family members often help with her care. I am actually a huge fan of learning all I can about baby/dog safety and have become a big advocate for it lately, helping other expectant moms! I work from home caring for 24/7. If I need to personally check in with my main facility (help groom etc) I am not gone more than a few hours or I can the dogs with me on a field trip. The only other times I really leave is to run my daughter somewhere or pick up/drop off dogs. I have a seperate suite for safety of all, so I can take dogs that might not be as social or have special needs. I have open lounge areas, crates and runs if dogs are more comfortable in those, but we spend the majority of time outside playing in our yards or hiking in our woods.
Reviews
Awesome experience at day care! My puppy was well-loved and everything was very smooth. Great place!
Louie enjoyed his time with Cassandra. She was very good about keeping us up to date with pictures and how he was doing. She even gave him a bath for us! We would love to go back to her next time we need a sitter!
My boys loved their stay! They had so much fun and really enjoyed Cassandra. She made me feel comfortable leaving my boys is such capable hands. She is very kind and caring.
Love that she keeps us updated through text messages! She gave nimbus a bath while watching him. He smelled amazing and was a happy dog!! We highly recommend her. 💜

Information Cassandra R. would like to know about your pet
*At this time due to COVID we are closed off to prior visits and we meet all families outside. It is calming anyway and helps us bond if we can go directly on a walk.* Any breed, any behavior type or need will be treated like family in our country home. Just bring food, meds if needed and we take care of the rest. I do like to have specific checkin checkout times since I care for other dogs and I appreciate flexibility on this.
A typical day
Leashed walks on 10 acres of trails through our woods, off leash playtime in our fenced in (one acre) yards as an individual or in group (if they are social butterflies...not every person is a social butterfly so I don't expect that of every dog and we have the setups to accomodate any need); down time with puzzles or other low key relaxing activities to make sure each dog is happy, healthy, eating well etc
