I have a fenced in back patio (concrete) for easy outside time, and usually take dogs out for neighborhood walks -we can discuss specifics. There are no other pets in the house. My partner is also experienced with dogs, so there will be no shortage of love and attention. I can easily crate your dog if needed if you provide one.

Information Cassandra S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know what commands your dog knows. Also I prefer dogs who have outgrown the chewy phase and I can trust with my furniture/ without putting all shoes away. I have upstairs neighbors so hypersensitive barkers may not work out well.

A typical day

I’ll play tug of war, throw a tennis ball around, etc. If your dog enjoys pets, my partner and I are always happy to provide a belly rub. The neighborhood has a dog park if needed for higher energy.

Pet care experience

I grew up with a lab mix and hound dog, and recently gained experience with Emmy, my retired bomb-sniffing, working, dog-reactive dog. I had to train her to live in a human house and handle her out and about in DC. I learned a lot about senior dogs and dog reactivity, as well as training from her. She recently passed away and my I would love to use all I've learned to take care of your pup, especially as I work from home. I've experienced dogs with arthritis and other health issues, and know how to use positive training techniques.

Cassandra took great care of Hoagie! She was very understanding of Hoagie’s quirks, and we hope she’ll watch her again soon. Thank you, Cassandra!
