About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was around 10 years old, starting with my first family dog. Currently, I help take care of our two dogs at home alongside my mom. In addition to my own pets, I also look after a few family friends’ dogs, giving me a variety of hands-on experience with different breeds and personalities, but especially pitbulls! As a teacher, my schedule allows me to be available for pet care after 3 PM on weekdays and throughout the weekend, as well as most days in the summer! I regularly care for my own two family dogs and help out with my family friends’ pets, so dog walking and sitting naturally fit into my daily and weekly routine. I’m used to balancing responsibilities and enjoy spending my free time with animals. Whether in my home or a client’s, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick to their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care they need. At a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure everything is clean and secure. At my home, my pets get plenty of attention, outdoor time, and a calm environment to relax in. I treat every pet like they’re my own!
“This was the first time we used Rover. Cassie was excellent and made us feel that she was the right person to take care of our babies. Although they are sweet, they are a handful sometimes when they have to be taken out for walks. The spaniel in them tends to dominate the walks. She was so sweet and sent pictures and videos and made us feel at ease.”
