Dogs Rule Everything Around Me

Pet care experience

Hello! I am a dog lover who truly believes that they’re the best part of life. I have 3 dogs, two puppies and one senior. I am comfortable with all dogs from a teacup Yorkie to a Newfoundland. Bully breeds are my personal favorite, there’s nothing better than a pittie smile! As a dog mom, I worry nonstop about my babies and I want to help you ease your worries when you need extra dog care. I am comfortable and experienced with anxious, reactive, aggressive, selective, shy and barking dogs. All I ask is for clear communication of your dogs needs to be best prepared! My friends call my a dog whisperer and I would love to live up to that for you! I am a property manager who has a lot of free time between clients and responsibilities. I like to fill my free time with side jobs such as dog care and handy-woman work! Tell me what you need and I can do that! What’s your routine? What is best for your dog? What do you need from me? I can make sure I live up to all your expectations. If you are a multiple animal household, I am open to negotiation for the “multiple animal” rate upon booking!

April was wonderful with our senior dog and took great care of our home including doing extra chores. Will definitely use her again when we have the need.

April was absolutely WONDERFUL! She took such great care of our feline fur babies. So much so that our youngest, Sushi, who had developed quite a bond with April (and we have the BEST pics to prove it) missed her terribly. Will DEF use her again, and we recommend that you do the same!

April was great with our dog Lucy. Very caring and reliable. We will continue to ask for her when we need a sitter.

Safety, trust & environment

The most important thing to me is to treat your home and your pets like they are my own. I clean up after myself and any messes the pet may have made. I make sure to always respect the pets space and boundaries and pay attention to body language to keep them happy and both of us safe. Communication is also key and I know how hard it is being away from my babies so I am sure to give detailed reports on my time with you babies. I also have no issues doing extra tasks as they pertain to your pet while I’m with them. Examples include filling kongs or similar treat toys, giving baths or rinsing off if need be, any light grooming, laundry if there’s a mess made and so on. If you have a need you’re unsure about, just ask

Information April A. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your dogs routine as it pertains to me. I can give medicine, meals, take in and out of crate, wipe paws and of course give treats!

A typical day

I love going to the beach or any local parks with the pups! Backyard play time is always a hoot and there’s nothing better then a snuggle session on the couch.
