Hello. My name is Shawndra and I am Cassie's Mother. No one knows Cassie better than I do and so my reference will hopefully hold much sway in deciding to choose her to care for your precious pets or "kids". The most important characteristics in having someone look after your pets are responsibility, love animals, and experience. Cassie is 22 years old and from a young child has always shown responsibility in her helpful nature at home. As a young child she respectfully helped me clean the house every week. When she was a teenager and I was a full-time student, she took on almost all of the household chores without complaining. Now as young woman I can testify and well as her employers that she rarely missed work and OFTEN filled in for co-workers who were late, or called in sick and stayed late. As for her love and experience with animals....what better reference than to have had and cared for pets in the past. Again, since she was a young child we have always had pets in the home including cats, dogs, fish. She took initiative early on taking them out in the morning and evening, and helped feed them. She even took care of the "yuck" like cleaning up poo, vomit, picking up "doodles" in the yard. She loves animals. Currently we have no pets in the home and that is mine and my Husband's choice...not hers. So she is definitely feeling the void of not having a furry friend and would treasure the time she could have to snuggle and play with yours. Cassie is a sensitive, sweet, young lady and she is your best choice. Call her today to meet with her and you will love her as much as your pet will!
