Pet care experience

I have been pet sitting since I was 16 years old, I have been a vet tech for the past 4 years, and I’m currently in my 3rd year at Cornell University’s veterinary college. I’ve taken care of a large variety of pets, all with various needs. I have experience with puppies/kittens, geriatrics, various medical conditions, and animals with varying temperaments.

Cassie was great. She had wonderful communication and sent multiple pictures of each visit. We really appreciated her being able to check in on our cat while we were away for the holidays.

Cassie took care of both our dogs in addition to leaving the house spotless. She is responsible and communicative, giving us updates all the time. I highly recommend Cassie.

This is our second time with Cassie house-sitting and giving our pup company - and I must say, she’s like a calming pet whisperer ❤️ She is flexible, very reliable and just such a joy to interact with. She makes sure we get regular updates and sends loads of pictures (very cute ones too!). Wholeheartedly recommend availing her expert services! We are definitely one of her repeat clients
