Loving sitter - work from home FT!

Pet care experience

Hi fur-parents! I’m a working professional with quite a bit of flex in my day and I work from home (even pre-pandemic!). I LOVE dogs and have one of my own and I would LOVE to have a second, but it's just not possible for me so instead, I share my love with other pups! I just moved to Wrigleyville and looking forward to meeting new furry friends. I’ve been a dog owner my whole life and sat for many people over the years. I most recently had ~10 regular clients back when I was living in LA and was the go-to sitter in my apartment complex. My pup has gone through extensive training and is Canine Good Citizen certified from the AKC so I’m pretty familiar with many training techniques (considering becoming certified!). My previous dog had congestive heart failure, collapsed trachea, seizures and luxating patella so I am very familiar with special needs animals including seniors, administering medication and responding to crisis. I can do overnight boarding at times, but it would need to be in the sitters home as my HOA unfortunately doesn’t allow furry guests and my Pomeranian would need to come too :) I am often flexible so if my calendar doesn't show availability, don't hesitate to reach out and inquire anyways (especially if you are a repeat client!). I'll always do my best to accommodate! Hope to spoil your fur baby soon!

Cassie and Luna were amazing hosts for my semi-special needs dog. They took excellent care of him and made him feel right at home. I absolutely plan to book with Cassie again and would recommend her to anyone!

Cassie and Luna are absolute sweethearts and great sitter in the neighborhood. Lily met her new bestie and we cannot wait to meet again. Cassie was detailed and thorough with her daily messages. She up kept with Lily’s training commands and ensured she got enough playtime and naps in between. Kept Mom and Dad sane while out of town. Lily misses Luna! Cassie you are a rockstar and truly a great dog owner and sitter <3

I am a repeat customer of Cassie and I will continue to use her and also refer her to others! I recently moved to LA and have only ever had my mom watch my dogs- until Cassie, so I was a bit nervous leaving them with someone other than family. But Cassie takes care of my dogs and loves them like her own! She will provide daily updates with pictures and videos as well. Thank you Cassie!

Cassie was amazing both times she’s watched our dog Tucker! He has so much fun with her and her dog Luna. Cassie sent lots of pictures and videos throughout Tucker’s stay, which we greatly appreciated. The second time I dropped him off with her, he practically pulled me down the hall to her apartment door, he was so excited! We will definitely be using her again.

Safety, trust & environment

I always ensure I’m following your preferred routine and protocols. On walks and drop-in visits, I’m often on the floor giving them love and attention at their level before I leave. If I am boarding in your home and my pup is with me, mine is always crated when I leave.

Information Cassie A. would like to know about your pet

Several things I’d want to know: what kind of personality does your dog have? Are they good with other dogs (all sizes?), humans, children? Any aggressive behaviors or things they’re scared of? Have they been fully vaccinated and up to date on rabies? What type of food do they eat and how much? Do they have any allergies? What types of treats do you give? What’s their favorite toy and game? Are they crate trained? What type of harness and leash do they wear? Any separation anxiety? What’s their favorite way to be loved (cuddle, scratch behind the ear, the belly, the tail, etc)?

A typical day

Whatever makes your pup feels it’s best! Some prefer the park where there’s activities and people everywhere while others enjoy a quiet, leisurely stroll down the neighborhood. Sometimes the lakefront to take in the views. Fetch for days or lazy afternoons, we are flexible in this house! They’ll love playing with my pup Luna! We will discuss your dogs personality and preferences and maximize our time accordingly!

I have worked from home for six years so often have flexibility to accommodate schedules and needs accordingly. I love pups of all kinds and sizes and providing care you trust is so important to me, as I’m in the same position with my fur baby when I am gone!
