About Cassie
Hello my name is Cassie, I am 42 and I am a major dog lover. I had Chile, my darling boxer for 9 years and he gave me the most joyus life possible. Since then I have had my son Luka and together we have recently been living in Mexico for 2 years. Over there we helped rescue, revitalise and rehome street dogs which made us very happy.
Now we are back and settled in Australia and not quite ready to get a dog of our own, yet, but we would absolutely love to babysit and walk your dogs so that we can still get cuddles and the love that dogs bring us.
As I am a full time Mum I have lots of time on my hands, especially in the day time when my son is at school and would love some company, and who better then a friendly dog. I love being around animals, I enjoy walking them and playing, my son also is very good with dogs and all animals and is a great help.
I am obviously comfortable with larger dogs, having had my boxer but am also happy with smaller dogs too. I am fit and active and love walking. I do have strength to hold onto larger dogs on the leesh that can walk well. We are very outdoorsy people, I walk every morning and every afternoon we visit the park or beach.
I also have a recent polce check and blue card.
What I can offer:
- I will be home with your pet for the majority of the day, coming and going at times but never usually away for more then 2 hours and apart from school drop off and pick up but I will also take your dog for 2 walks per day (if the dog can handle that much) I usually walk upto an hour but can make it smaller for dogs that require. There is a huge dog park that we can go to for off leesh exercise or we can simply walk, this is all discussed and arranged on a per case set up with the owners. Please note that dogs may be left at home for 1-3hrs some days if I need to go to the supermarket etc. Again the dogs need are all discussed prior to bookings.
- I will only take on 1 sitting job at a time, with up to 2 dogs from the same family. This ensures I can give them the time and attention they need.
- I am a full time Mum so currently I am home in the day time and this would be my 'job' so to speak (pretty luckjy I think). I would give the dogs 2 walks, and if we go out for kids soccer or a cafe then I am happy to bring the dog along with us if that suits. This includes the beach and anywhere dogs are welcome.
- The pets can be supervised 24//7 if pre arranged. This is not the normal though so must be discussed.
- It is myself and son at home and we both adore dogs, having had a boxer for 9 years. Our home is in a cul-de-sac and has a nice big grass yard that is fully fenced. The dogs are allowed to sleep in the house on the tiled living area on their dog bed, they can also sleep outside on a bed or kennel if you prefer. I am fine having dogs inside with me during the day time and usually just leave the door open so they can come and go as they please. There is a massive 5km walking track across the road from my street, this also leads to the off leesh area. In summer we love to take the dogs for a swim at the beach if they like the water. I do leave the dogs outside when I'm not at home so must ensure they are fine with their own company and do not bark continuously or try to escape, dig holes etc. I want this to be a fun experience for both myself and the dogs.
