We couldn't have imagined anyone better than Cassie to watch over our pup while we were at work or out of town for a long weekend.

My wife and I cannot recommend Cassie enough!”

About: Ive always been surrounded by animals. Grew up with dogs (and hamsters), but currently have a cat who is totally my boss. I love animals and respect them and take pet care very seriously. I have donated both money and my time to various dog and cat shelters and organizations over the years, from assisting in dog adoptions to feeding stray cat colonies. Currently pet sitting the cutest grey bunny. I am a mature adult with my own car who is responsible and reliable. Please feel free to text/call me with any questions or concerns. Flexible and looking to earn extra money by spending time with what i love most in the world- animals. Please let me know what you are looking for in terms of days/visits/hours. Pet owners have their own home arrangements for safety which of course i will comply with. Most importantly is to close the doors making sure no pet escapes. In the dog park dogs are on leash unless otherwise permitted and carefully watched at all times.

Tanya was wonderful to work with, and was so good with my 2 dogs. She was able to help me out with a super last minute request, and I’m so grateful for how she handled it. It’s so good to know your pets are in good hands when you have last minute travel plans.
Katie is great. She's super friendly to both humans and dogs. She's patient with my dogs and their rules. They are quirky and have occasional behavioral issues . She's prompt if not a little early which I appreciate (I hate tardiness) and responds quickly to my texts. I highly recommend Katie .
Karin does such a good job with my animals. My dog loses his puppy mind whenever she shows up, and it’s so obvious how much she loves animals and adores our dog. She has watched our cats as well and given them medicine, and they like her too 🙂 10/10 would recommend Karin!!
