Pet care experience
As a lifelong pet lover and caretaker, I bring a wealth of firsthand experience, having cared for a variety of animals throughout my life. Currently I am a senior at Penn State and have two dogs, two cats, and one bunny at home. This deep-rooted connection enables me to intuitively understand their needs, provide a nurturing environment, and offer an unmatched level of companionship. From the tiniest of puppies to the senior cats, I’ve developed a keen eye for recognizing subtle cues and tailoring my care accordingly. With a genuine passion for animals and a lifelong commitment to their well-being, I am dedicated to going above and beyond for every furry client, ensuring their safety, happiness, and overall satisfaction. Choose me as your trusted pet sitter or dog walker, and experience the unwavering love I can bring to your beloved family!
Reviews
Kassidy was great with all my pets. All (5) were well cared for. She provided updates and pictures throughout the time I was away. This gave me great peace of mind knowing that my pets were enjoying having her with them.
Kassidy took good care of our 2 cats while we were out of town. I loved all the pictures she sent and I was so happy our cats actually came out for her, since they are usually scared of strangers. I would absolutely book her again when we go out of town next time.
Kassidy was amazing. Super attentive, caring, responsible. I would recommend her 1 million times over and will definitely use her again!
Kassidy did an amazing job taking care of our puppy. She is a fantastic communicator and was so sweet with my puppy. I can't recommend her enough!

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for clients’ pets in their home, I prioritize their well-being, comfort, and routine. Here is a little overview of how I approach pet care in a clients home: 1. Feeding and Water: I adhere to the specified feeding schedule provided and ensure fresh water is available at all times. 2. Exercise and Playtime: Depending on the amount of time I will be visiting or staying. I will engage pets in a play session, exercise by walking, or relaxing outside. I want to make sure that the pets do not become lonely and they stay mentally stimulated while burning some energy. 3. Potty Breaks: I will ensure to take pets for potty breaks as needed, ensuring they have opportunities for outdoor relief and maintaining a clean living environment at all times. 4. Home Care: In addition to pet care, I offer basic house care services, such as bringing in mail, watering plants, tidying up, and maintaining overall security. This is a priority I also take seriously so that owners have peace of mind while away. 5. Communication: I maintain open lines of communication with clients, providing regular updates on their pet’s well-being through messages, photos, or videos. I’m always available to address any concerns or answer questions promptly. 6. Respect for the Environment: I maintain a clean and organized environment, ensuring the pet’s safety and comfort while respecting the integrity of the client’s home. …. And most of all 7. Love and Affection: I offer ample love, attention, and affection to ensure pets feel secure, comforted, and emotionally well-cared for during their owner’s absence.
Information Kassidy D. would like to know about your pet
One of my top priorities is maintaining open and clear communication throughout each pet sitting, drop-in, or walking assignment. Some information that I may ask throughout the process are the following: -Pet Details: Gathering comprehensive information about the pet, including their name, age, breed, size, and any distinctive characteristics. Inquiring about their medical history, vaccinations, allergies, and any ongoing medical conditions or medications. -Feeding and Dietary Needs: Asking about the pet's feeding schedule, portion sizes, preferred food, and any dietary restrictions or specific instructions related to their diet. -Exercise Requirements: Inquiring about the dog's exercise routine, preferred activities, and any specific limitations or preferences. Determining the duration of walks or exercise sessions. -Behavior and Training: Obtaining insight into the pet's behavior, temperament, and any training protocols in place. Inquiring about their level of socialization, response to commands, and any behavioral concerns or triggers to be aware of. -Daily Routine: Understanding the pet's daily routine, including walking and sleeping schedules, preferred playtime, and any specific habits they engage in. -Emergency Procedures: Discussing emergency procedures and clarifying any specific instructions or protocols the client wants to follow in case of an emergency. Ensuring access to emergency contact numbers and knowing the location of the nearest veterinary clinic.

I am currently working a part-time job at a local boutique and am a full-time college student. However, each day begins with ensuring that my own pets are fed, exercised, and given ample attention and affection. Because I can easily adjust around my work and class schedule, I will be able to accommodate and provide the best possible care for the pets entrusted to me by clients. I will be sure to maintain open lines of communication with pet owners at all times and integrate the well-being of my furry friends seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine.
