About: I bring several years of pet sitting experience, including caring for multi- animal homes with four cats, a dog and even chickens. I’m comfortable managing detailed routines and making sure each pet receives individual attention. I have some experience administering medications (mainly in dogs), which makes me confident with senior pets and animals who require structured medical care. Having grown up around both household pets and farm animals, I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes and temperaments. My experience is wide but my approach is the same- I treat every pet like they were my own. I work full-time in Wallace, with most weekends off, which gives me great availability for pet care during evenings and most weekends. While my apartment unfortunately doesn’t allow pets for boarding, I’m happy to provide care in your home anywhere from Wallace to the Amherst area. I’m also available for check-ins before and after work, though daytime visits are limited unless you’re located close to Wallace. I treat your home & pets as my own, following routines closely and keeping them safe and happy, and loved while getting plenty of attention and exercise.
“April, was amazing! Showed up as scheduled even when the weather was less then ideal. Respectful of our property, our cats obviously loved her visits as they were quite content when we returned home. Thanks April again ?”
About: I’ve taken care of animals ever since I was 4, first animal being a yellow canary named Sunshine. Since then I’ve never lived without pets. I have the most experience with cats, but have owned dogs, fish, hamsters and lizards. Comfortable with all breeds and temperaments. I’m currently unemployed and have all kinds of time to provide the best care for your animals when life gets in the way. I will be available on a daily, weekly or occasional basis. I will treat all animals with the care and comfort I provide my own. I have an 4X4 and love taking adventures which provides lots of room for companions to accompany me on hikes.
