Pet care experience
I am a dog person through and through! I grew up with big dogs who were very much a part of the family and that is how your dog will feel with me. I live near Central Park and Morningside Park which has a great dog park for your pal to run around off-leash, if you're comfortable with that. If you have an active dog, he/she can join me on my jogs! If your dog is a couch potato, he/she can snuggle up for TV time! I have had experience taking care of my family dogs as they aged and I know how a senior dog's needs differ from those of a young pup. I also have some experience with leash-training younger dogs and I would be happy to work on those skills with you dog. For dog-walking, I have some experience with leash-training younger dogs and can work on commands with them. I am very conscious of a dog's health in the summer heat and winter snow/ice and will make sure your dog stay hydrated and their paws comfy.
Reviews
Full disclosure - Cassidy is my daughter. Parental bias notwithstanding, Cassidy is an awesome dog caregiver. She grew up in a house with two dogs and played an active role in training and caring for them. What can you say about a person who entertained herself during graduate school by searching puppy pictures and sharing the cutest ones?
Hi there, Cassidy's mom here. Cassidy has been around dogs her entire life, from puppies to aging and ill dogs. She's always had a great relationship with dogs of all sizes and breeds. Starting in high school she took on a lot of responsibility for our aging dog, caring for him in his last days while we were away. She also took on the task of training our new puppy. During college Cassidy spent a lot of time caring for and walking a friend's dog. She has always shown tremendous patience and love when dealing with any dog. In addition to loving dogs, Cassidy is also a very responsible person. She can be counted on to follow through on a job and always do her best. I can't imagine finding a better dog walker/sitter.

I have watched Cassidy enthusiastically care for dogs for the last decade. She is active and energetic and enjoys the outdoors, so she'd be great to walk any dog around the block or around the whole park. She enjoys meeting new dogs and getting to know them and their unique personalities. She has fun playing games with dogs and making sure they are active and engaged. She will be careful and considerate if she is coming to your home to care for the dog and also will be attentive and affectionate if caring for the dog in her home. I would highly recommend her for dog walking or short/long term dog sitting in her home or in yours.
