About Cassandra

Hi there! I'm a Registered Nurse with a lifetime of experience with pets. I love animals and have always had pets (cats, bunnies, mice, a horse, fish & dogs). I recently said goodbye to my best canine friend, Chops, after 17 glorious years of love and companionship. 

Chops has left a chihuahua shaped hole in my heart and I'm missing that animal love and companionship. I am not ready for my next permanent companion so pet sitting for you means I get to enjoy your precious fur-babies like they were my own!

I have experience with animal training and am happy to continue any training routines you may have in place, Chops was a model and worked in TV and print advertising. I am also experienced managing medications for unwell &/or senior pets including subcutaneous injections. 

I have experience with small & large dog breeds, both indoor and outdoor cats including transitioning indoor cats to the outdoors, small animals like rabbits, ferrets & mice as well as fish a bearded dragon and even a horse! 

I love going down to the local dog park and dog beaches for four footed adventures. Big walks are a given, I used to walk my chihuahua with my 2 cats as a pack around the neighbourhood and loved it! I love to see a happy dog, exhausted from a big day of smelling, fetching, running, playing & adventure. 

I also have experience with elderly pets and understand the different needs of senior pets. Arthritis meant towards the end Chops wasn't able to walk as much but I recognised how much she still enjoyed coming out with me so her walks became more about mental stimulation of smells & textures.  

Small dogs are welcome to come stay with me, medium & large dogs I'll come to you.

Looking forward to meeting you and your pets!

Thanks Cassandra! Was lovely to meet you, and thank you for minding our girls 💖

Cassandra was friendly, communicative and even sent me updates. I'm an anxious cat lady and left in a hurry with a messy house. Cassandra was warm and understanding, and I came home to two very happy girls 😻😻

Thank you Cassandra for taking great care of our kitty! We felt comfort in knowing we had an experienced sitter and animal lover in our home. Cass was good with communication. We received photos and updates each day.

We wouldn't hesitate to recommend or rebook her in future.
