Pet care experience
WFH w/ fenced yard & gentle beagle
Hello! I’m Cassidy, a lifelong dog lover living in Takoma, DC. I work from home full-time, which means your pup will have company and care all day long. I share my cozy house (with a big fenced yard and a porch perfect for lounging) with my beagle, Frank — a sleepy, gentle boy who loves meeting new friends. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from tiny chihuahuas to big, goofy retrievers. I’m comfortable administering medication and adapting to each dog’s individual needs and energy level. The only thing I ask is that larger dogs be calm enough to respect Frank’s space, since he has some hip issues and can’t handle being jumped on by big dogs. Whether your pup loves long walks, quiet naps, or extra snuggles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home while you’re away.

Ratings and reviews
We are so grateful to Cassidy and Elizabeth. It puts our minds at such ease to leave Scout with them when we are on vacation. They give her great care and really love her. They are terrific about sending pictures and keeping in touch. Scout clearly loves them.
Poppy spent 8 days in daycare and Cassidy was flexible with my bathroom renovation schedule. Best of all she loves beagles and Poppy loved going to her home, in fact she eagerly looked forward to it knowing she had the companionship of other dogs and especially with Cassidy.
Bentley had the absolute best stay at Cassidy’s! She and Elizabeth totally showered him with love and cuddles, and he had so much fun hanging out with Frank and some other sweet dog friends. Can’t recommend Cassidy enough!! 🐶
Very responsive throughout the boarding. We really appreciated the frequent updates and photos.
Our dog Maggie had the BEST time in Cassidy’s comfy home! We got frequent photos and videos showing how much love and attention she got — and so much fun! I would highly recommend Cassidy!!
Cassidy is great! Our high anxiety dog feels so at home with Cassidy and Frank. We will definitely book with her again and again!

Schedule
I work full-time from home in my cozy Takoma house, so your dog will always have a buddy around. My gentle beagle, Frank, keeps me company during the day, and we love having another friend to join us for walks, porch time, and naps. Frank used to have separation anxiety, so I know how important it is for dogs to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for all day long while their people are away. I’m also available most evenings and weekends — as long as your pup doesn’t mind snuggling up for a baseball game, we’ll get along just fine.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In my home, pets get all the love and attention they deserve. I work full-time from home, so your dog will always have company and care throughout the day. My beagle, Frank, is a calm, friendly boy who mostly naps but loves gentle play with new friends. Because he has hip dysplasia and a sensitive tummy, I’m experienced with giving medication and providing the kind of gentle, attentive care dogs sometimes need. We have a fenced yard, plenty of cozy space to relax, and we’re just five minutes from a trusted vet.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day here is relaxed and cozy, with plenty of time for play and attention. If the weather’s nice, we’ll spend time outside in the yard or on the porch soaking up the sunshine. During my workday, the dogs hang out with me in my home office — there are two dog beds and a big comfy chair that’s become a favorite napping spot. We mix our day with playtime, cuddles, and naps, and if their owner’s okay with it, we’ll sometimes take a short drive to Rock Creek Park for a nice walk. My goal is always to keep dogs happy, comfortable, and feeling right at home — whether they’re snoozing beside my desk or enjoying some porch time with Frank.
