"Cassidy was very responsive and accommodating on short notice. Our dog enjoyed a night with her and she made it super easy to use boarding services. Thanks, Cassidy!"
"Thank you so much to Cassidy for watching my velociraptor Doberman puppy super last minute! Great communication throughout the whole process and definitely knows how to handle dogs, even big ones like my own. 10/10 recommend."
"Cassidy took great care of my two furbabies. She sent pictures and text updates (which I LOVE), and she gave one of our babies his allergy medicine daily as requested. She left our home in great condition as well. We highly recommend Cassidy, and we will be using her again in the near future. Very sweet person ❤️"
"THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!! Cassidy is wonderful!! We just moved to the area about 3 months ago and haven't been able to find a dog sitter since we got here. Found Cassidy on Rover and thru convo started to feel comfy with her. Felt even more comfy when we dropped our Sunni off for her first day of doggy daycare. The deal was sealed when we picked her up and she didnt wanna leave. Lol. Cassidy was amazing!!!! She kept us updated and sent pics. We will for sure be booking with her in the future!!!"
"We are very glad to have found Cassidy! Our older pup does not take to everyone, but he felt so comfortable with Cassidy on our meet-and-greet visit he fell asleep behind her. She has a calm approach and was very respectful of his slow way of getting to know someone new. She was able to accommodate our schedule into hers and we are looking forward to booking Cassidy again!:
"Cassidy did a great job watching my puppy during the day, she came home tired from playing every day. Highly recommend her for doggy daycare."
"This woman is an absolute angel! Took care of our boy last minute and provided the most gentle and loving care he has ever received from a sitter. She tended to his anxiety and really worked with him to help him get through it. She also provided advice for when he’s at home to help him further! We love booking with her!:
"Cassidy was able to watch my puppy SUPER last minute. She made him feel at home. She also updated me with pictures every couple of hours! 100% recommend!!! THANK YOUUU"
"Cassidy was great. She made us feel very comfortable leaving our dog with her. Her dogs are so well behaved it was like a vacation for our Husky/malamute mix. She even gave us some tips for training our pup. I would absolutely use her again next time I'm in Norfolk."
I couldn’t be happier with the care Cassidy provided for Rocky. From the moment we connected, her communication was outstanding, and the photos she sent throughout the day put my mind at ease. Her knowledge and genuine love for dogs were evident, and she even accommodated us on short notice. When I picked Rocky up, he was all smiles, and I could tell he had a great time. I will absolutely be using her services again and highly recommend her to any pet owner. -Chanel P.
Thiago had so much fun at her house, he was worn out when I picked him up. Cassidy was super nice as well, communicated with me about Thiago. - Jordan M.

Cassidy is fantastic! She has a genuine concern and care for the dogs she is caring for, especially my 2 little ones. She is very attentive and responds almost instantly. - Katrina J.
