I am a certified dog trainer and former college educator who turned a lifelong passion for animals into a rewarding pet-sitting career. As a part-time business consultant, working with animals provides a joyful, meaningful balance to my week. My goal is to give your beloved companion a safe, enriching experience and give you complete peace of mind. Why Choose Me? - Certified Training Expertise: I specialize in Positive Reinforcement techniques. I believe every dog is unique and deserves a patient, behavior-focused approach to live a happier, safer life. - Senior Pet Comfort: I understand that senior pets require a calm, gentle, and predictable environment. I love creating a peaceful sanctuary tailored to their needs. - Medical & Behavioral Observation: With my training background, I am highly skilled at recognizing subtle behavioral changes when a pet isn't feeling well and am fully experienced in administering medications. - Multilingual Communication: I provide clear, detailed updates in English, Spanish, Portuguese, or Italian. Exclusive Puppy Boarding (Under 1 Year Old ONLY): Leaving a puppy can be incredibly stressful. To ensure the highest level of safety and individualized attention, I board only one puppy client at a time. Your pup will receive a secure, structured home environment. I am a proud rescue parent to three dogs of my own, including a formerly "broken," severely anxious pup who overcame her fears through patience and training. I know firsthand what it takes to build trust with animals of all backgrounds. I look forward to welcoming your furry family member! #WINDERMERE #WINTERGARDEN #HORIZONWEST #LAKEBUENAVISTA #DISNEYHOTELS #FORTWILDERNESS #DISNEYPETSITTING #RescueDogMom #CertifiedDogTrainerOrlando #PuppyBoardingOrlando #SeniorDogCare

Safety, trust & environment
As a certified dog trainer working from home, sharing our lives with animals is an absolute must for my family and me. My entire day is structured to create a safe, trusted environment where your pet is our absolute priority. Because I manage my own business, my early-morning routine is completely flexible. I can easily accommodate early drop-ins right before or after I walk my own dogs, seamlessly weaving positive reinforcement training into our time together to improve behavior. To guarantee total peace of mind, a Meet & Greet is a must for all new clients. This gives us a chance to build real trust, ensures you feel entirely comfortable, and allows me to gather the critical details needed to protect and care for your pet exactly the way you prefer. Think of my service as a Bespoke Concierge for Pets and Pet Parents. I custom-design every walk and drop-in visit around your pet's specific safety and behavioral needs: Tailored Walking Plans: Before we head out, I look closely at your dog's leash habits. Knowing if they are friendly or reactive, hyper-energetic or easily tired, or dealing with specific environmental triggers allows me to manage risks and keep them entirely safe. Secure Drop-In Care: For home visits, I track everything from precise food, water, and medication schedules to their favorite toys. I also proactively verify if your pet is a stealthy escape artist so I can secure the environment.
Ratings and reviews
Thanks for taking care of our puppy while we are at work! We appreciate the training you do during the hour drop in, the feedback on the visit and photos. She is really learning and growing! We look forward to next weeks drop in’s! 😊
Fantastic help. Cassia is responsive, prompt, and goes above and beyond.
Cassia is always so appreciated! She loves our doggie and our doggie loves her!
Today was our first time leaving our puppy while we were at work and school. Cassia stopped in for a day visit where she stayed an hour feeding, walking and training our little Billie boo (mini Dashund). I received over 40 photos of the visit and a detailed explanation of her visit! We will be booking with cassia in the future. ❤️ 🐶

Cassia always goes the extra mile! Our doggie just adores her. Highly recommend!

- I believe keeping communication between me and the pet parents are the best way to provide the best care for your beloved pet. Keeping it in mind, I’m open to listening to you regarding food intake or special diet needed, any health concerns or odd behavior to look for, when taking care of your pet, as well as how and where I’m supposed to go around your property. Some pets may be reactive to others and may act differently with strangers, and that brings up the topic of how important the Meet and Greet is and why I request it for first-time clients. This is an important step to get to know your pet and for us to know each other and stabling baselines for communication and interaction.
