Hello Paw-rents! My name is Cassie I have owned pets since I could walk and adore all animals. I have furbabies of my own so I understand how important it is to find someone who understands and cares about your babies as much as you do when looking after them. I have over 25 years of varied animal care experience, and about 8 years of professional pet care, several years of which I spent at a vet clinic as a vet assistant and primary kennel care giver. I cared the animals that were boarding or sick or staying overnight for recovery. I fed them, cleaned their living quarters, gave them baths when needed, took them for walks and outside to do their business, administered medication if needed (including insulin shots for pets with diabetes) and played with them. I have aided in the birth of several litters of kittens and one litter of puppies. A little over a year ago, I quit my 9-5 job to work full-time for myself doing petcare because I love it so much! In addition to being a Dog/Cat/general animal lover, I am also a Cat Behavior Specialist and Independent Pet Care & Rescue partnered with LA Kitten Rescue. I have very diverse animal experience including farm animals. I have experience with: ✔︎ Dogs with epilepsy & seizure meds ✔︎ Administering insulin shots, subcutaneous fluids, IV fluids, etc ✔︎ training puppies & senior care ✔︎ small or large dogs ✔︎ various temperaments ✔︎ allergies ✔︎ disabilities ✔︎ giving medication ✔︎ separation anxiety ✔︎ safety AND most importantly, your pet’s comfort! I do this full time under my fully branded company name, Paws Paradise LA and also have a wonderful assistant who lives onsite at my house — double the love and attention for your pets!
