Doggy Daycare

Casandra Naugle

Owner

Casandra Naugle “Cas” is one of the new owners of Dog Cabin Resort. Cas is a third-generation Colorado native. She grew up on the Front Range, but spent much of her free time on the Western Slope, hunting near Powderhorn, camping, hiking, riding dirt bikes, and skiing. So when it came time to pick a college, Western was an easy choice. 

Even though becoming a part owner is a new role for Cas, she is no stranger to DCR. Cas began working at DCR in 2020. Around the same time, she picked up a fluffy white puppy known as Siska. It turns out that raising Siska was akin to raising a stubborn, troublesome teenager, and Cas turned to DCR for training tips and advice. She now lives with 3 dogs, 2 cats, raises chickens and is one of DCR’s most experienced Dog Handlers.
