Hello! I am Cassy and I am dog lover ever since I received my first dog in first grade. She was a yellow lab and really the sweetest thing ever, so I named her Taffy. My parents were very strict on me feeding and watering and taking her out often even at such a young age. I think that stuck with me into adulthood, how important it is to care for animals like we do ourselves. I warm up to all dogs I've met pretty quickly, I think that they can feel a little nervous with someone new coming into their home, but as long as they don't feel threatened and that their home is respected, they will warm up and be their loving selves. I have taken care of many different kinds of dogs and had 3 dogs myself who have all passed away now. I have been helping friends and family with dogsitting for a while now and I am happy to see that there is a site like Rover that can help people find help with their beloved animals. Being alone all day or all night is stressful for a dog. So I am here to give them company and some exercise if need be.
