Tons of experience & even more love
Pet care experience
When it comes to caring for dogs, I have about 10 years of experience. However, my family has owned dogs my whole life, so I like to think that I have a lifetime of experience! :) I have been dog sitting through Rover for over 3 years now which has allowed me to further my experience. Over the last year, I had taken a break due to a hectic life schedule, but now that I am beginning a new journey in nursing school, I'm excited to get back into pet sitting! I have cared for the cutest dogs of all shapes and sizes, from Boxers and German Shepherds to Mini Pinschers and Jack Russell. I’ve also been able to gain experience with special needs dogs, including a diabetic Pit that I provided insulin to and a Frenchie recently diagnosed with seizures. I've always had at least 2 dogs in the house, so I understand dog behavior, their needs, and what needs to be done to keep them healthy and happy. My family has always had large, energetic breeds (German Shepherd, Pitbull, Belgian Malinois, etc) so I'm prepared and experienced with just about anything! I recently rescued my very first kitten and I could not be more in love with cats now as well! In addition, I would consider myself to have plenty of knowledge about dog training from attending training sessions and training my own dogs. When I started my college career, I was aiming towards being a veterinarian, so animals are and always will be a big part of my life. Although I have a huge love for animals, it turned out that career path was not for me, and I have since switched to nursing. During my time as a pre-vet student, I was a veterinary shadow for 3 months in the summer of 2017, as well as continuously volunteering at a vet clinic during the school year and at the Humane Society. I’ve been dog sitting for family/friends since I was about 12. In addition, I would and still do care for my own dogs while my parents were out of town. Unfortunately, I am unable to have any of them live with me so caring for others' fur babies is a great way to help with missing them! I have an immense love for dogs and animals and I understand that they are your family and their proper care is of utmost importance to you. With my extensive animal care background, I promise I will have you're dogs happy and healthy when you come home! Please note that I try to keep my rates as competitive as possible while also accounting for the wealth of experience with and knowledge about dogs that I have. I know that times are difficult, including for myself, so I will try my hardest to work with you to meet your own personal needs. Since I have not done pet sitting since the start of the pandemic, I am aware many protocols for meeting have most likely changed. Please let me know your expectations for me as far as safety and social distancing before we meet, that way I can be respectful of your and your family's health and safety. In addition, my school requires weekly COVID-19 testing, so you can rest assured that the person entering your home is healthy and COVID-free! I hope to meet your beloved furry family members soon :)
Reviews
I booked Cassidy for twice-daily visits to my house for my cat while I was away during the week, and she was awesome! Communication was professional and responsive, and setting up the visits was seamless. She took the care instructions I provided seriously and adhered to them perfectly, and provided detailed reports after each visit, including plenty of pictures/videos. Overall - I got the impression she sincerely cared about making sure my kitty was as safe and comfortable as possible, and I very quickly felt at ease that she was in good hands!
Cassidy spent 2 nights with our puppy and she took great care of him! We received daily pictures and updates of Murphy and aside from him being well care of, the house was also clean and required no work when we got back home. We would absolutely recommend Cassidy as a dog sitter and will be using her again in the future! Thank you again Cassidy!
We had Cassidy watch our two dogs in our home. Cassidy is absolutely amazing!!! We can’t praise her enough. We have two big dogs and the bigger of the two can be a little difficult at times. He challenged her a little the first day, but she was able to shoot him down real quick and got him to love her real quick. Her communication with us was great, tons of pictures sent. It’s hard to find someone to take care of your pets the way you do and Cassidy did just that. She took great care of our home as well. We will definitely be calling Cassidy in the future for all our Furbaby sittings from here forth. Thank you so much Cassidy, see/talk to you soon!!!
Cassidy was TREMENDOUS!! She took excellent care of my dog in my home while I was away. Chloe warmed right up to Cassidy like they were old friends. Cassidy sent me many pictures and text updates and helped me relax on my vacation because I knew Chloe was in excellent hands. I will ABSOLUYELY book her again!

Information Cassidy T. would like to know about your pet
I'd like to be able to do at least one meet up before the stay in order to become familiar with them and get to know them. If your dogs are not the best with strangers, I am MORE than happy to meet and hang out with them several times before the stay so they can really get to know me and be comfortable with my presence. I'd like to know what their special commands are (wait or stay? do they have a word to use the bathroom like "hurry up!" or "go potty!"). Is there certain things your dog doesn't like (being touched in a certain spot, or putting your hands near their food while they eat)? I love all breeds, all sizes, all shapes! More questions and concerns can be discussed during a meet and greet before booking!
A typical day
Whatever your dogs needs I will happily provide. Whether it be walks every 4 hours, playing fetch in the backyard, administering daily medicine, or just lots of belly rubs and cuddles, you can be 100% sure your pup is getting the best care and love possible while you're away.
