Highlights
Pet care experience
Comfort for you and your pets
Fueled by an unquenchable love for animals and my family's inability to own our own pets, I grew up constantly walking dogs and then began short-term pet sitting for neighbors around 10 years old. Come high school, I launched a full pet sitting business in the Pittsburgh area. For the past decade, strangers have trusted me to take care of their pets for time ranging from two days to a few weeks. I have extensive experience with cats and dogs of all breeds and sizes and have cared for additional animals including chickens, small animals, rodents, and exotics. I am comfortable with all basic responsibilities including bathing and administering medication. Additionally, I have experience raising puppies during the difficult "toddler" years. With the permission (and often gratitude) of owners, I would not only take dogs on walks, but fun adventures such as hiking and swimming in various places around the area. I am also a runner and will happily bring your more energetic animals along on ,y workouts. If your pets are the homebody type, I am more than happy to go for a stroll, snuggle up, and embrace laziness.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
In a client's home, my goal is to stay as close to the pets' regular routine as possible to minimize any and all stress associated with being away from their owner.
Ratings and reviews
Cassie was so sweet and took Tali last minute since im recovering from surgery. She was great! Thank you so much, Cassie
Went above and beyond for my pups and was very communicative!
Cassie has been one of our dog sitters for three years now and she is quite simply the best one we've ever had. Cassie doesn't just walk, feed, and play with our dog. We know that our dog is getting snuggles, belly rubs, and tons of love just like when we are home with her. Cassie is great about sending photos and updates as well. She is responsible, reliable, but most importantly she loves doggos and will make sure yours gets lots of love when she is there!
Cassie is wonderful with pets! She helped take care of my dog and 3 cats over several years. Passionate about animals, kind and very dependable.

- Let me know if your dog has any special needs or specific concerns to look out for/care for. I also like to know if they have any weird habits or characteristics that are just normal for them, to ensure that I don't try and identify a problem or stress response when there is actually nothing to worry about.
