About Cassandra

I have been an owner of two cats, one a stray moggy who showed up hungry one day - I fed him some tinned tuna, and he never left! He was a grumpy old bugger but I did love him, and called him Professor Snape. Sadly he passed away many years ago of a tumor. 

The second was a Scottish Fold who was a birthday present from a former partner, because I used to watch too many videos of Scottish Folds. Yuki Kuro was beloved for over a decade, but a few years ago was adopted by a housemate who became very attached to Yuki during covid, during which time I became pregnant! I still get photos =) 

My daughter is now 2 and very good around cats, we sit for friends regularly, and eventually I expect we will get a cat (in a few years), but for now we are very happy to look after yours! Please note I've added some photos of my daughter and pets as well as myself - it's easier to find photos of her with cats than me though as I hadn't really thought about getting too many photos of myself interacting with pets over the years, I usually just take photos *of* the pets! I am not experienced with dogs, and at this stage can only offer cat or small animal sitting in your home, or emergency animal transport if I am available. 

I am available for medium/long term cat & smaller pet / house minding with my daughter with me. I am working 2 days a week usually, so have lots of time to give to any pets and my daughter just loves all animals. I will also be able to water plants and bring in the mail. I prefer stays of between 1-3 weeks, but may sometimes consider longer or shorter stays if they work with my existing schedule, but would rarely accept a stay of less than 7 nights due to the time required to bump in and bump out (toddlers seem to need a bit of stuff: if your house comes with a setup for child around 1-4yo, this is more likely to be negotiable if dates align). My work is in the city fringe so prefer locations that won't involve a really long commute, I need somewhere to park my car when staying, ideally be able to charge it too as it is electric, though I actually prefer to take public transport where possible so charging would be minimal. Happy to use whatever security system you have and I am fastidious about locking up. I am a non-smoker and can provide pet minding references on request.

Cassandra and her daughter took great care of our cats while we were on holiday. She was super communicative and sent us regular updates and pictures. Our cats seemed to love them and it gave me peace of mind knowing our cats were in great hands.

Cassandra and her beautiful daughter Ayesha were fabulous with my 2 elderly cats.

I received daily updates while I was away as it was my first time using Pawshake. The updates included photos which made me feel less anxious and comfortable knowing they were in great hands. Cassandra left the house spotless and left some additional pics on the kitchen bench top. She was very thoughtful and caring, and I have had a great first time experience using this app. I highly recommend Cassandra and her daughter to look after your furbabies and your home. I will definitely be booking them again for future stays.
