Pet care experience
I come from a family of animal lovers and my life revolves around my two rowdy hound rescues, Daisy and Rudy. I have experience with all kinds of pets (cats, dogs, exotic birds, fish...) and managed an online pet magazine for 3 years. I have always been an animal lover, but working alongside vets and behavior experts taught me SO MUCH about dog/cat health, emotional, and exercise needs. My animals are family and I'll treat yours with the same care that I do for my own.
Reviews
April takes excellent care of Sandy for us. Another fabulous stay.
April took great care of Sandy. We had some unexpected things come up with construction at our house while we were gone and April went above and beyond to make sure things went smoothly. 5 stars!!
April was amazing! Very communicative throughout the day and always sending photos! Our 10 week old pup adored her and didn’t want her to leave! Would highly recommend April!
April is a dog lover and took great care of my Labrador retriever. She is cheery, responsible and communicative. She sent me photos and videos of my dog during our absence. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced backyard for my own dogs to run around in, but unless your dog is already a friend of Daisy and Rudy's, I prefer to watch and walk them on their own turf. Please provide a sturdy harness and leash for any walks, and let me know ahead of time about any precautions (i.e. reactive around other animals or people, has a tendency to bolt, on-leash reactivity, bathroom habits, etc.) and I will do my best to accommodate!
Home
Information April S. would like to know about your pet
Please provide a sturdy harness and leash for any walks, and let me know ahead of time about any traits that may require more precaution, such as: whether they are reactive around other animals or people, if your dog/cat has a tendency to bolt from the door, needs medication, has any on-leash reactivity, what their bathroom and eating schedule is. I understand that every animal is unique and will do my best to accommodate!
A typical day
I work remote and am happy to hang out with your pets any day of the week (as long as there is internet access on weekdays).
