Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced & Devoted Dog Care
After sharing 12 beautiful years with my beloved Belgian Malinois Maya, I understand the bond between dogs and their families. Maya taught me that every dog deserves not just care but genuine love and attention to their unique needs. Now I’m excited to channel that experience in passion into caring for your furry family member as if they were my own. I’m not your average dog sitter - I’m the type of owner who goes above and beyond. When Maya developed stomach sensitivities, I researched and prepared her meals from scratch using whole foods ensuring every ingredient supported her health. I became skilled at making homemade treats tailored to dietary needs and even incorporated laser light therapy into her wellness routine. This hands-on experience has equipped me with the knowledge and dedication to handle dogs with special requirements
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
My dog, Amaya, has learned the route for April’s house, and loses her mind when we get close because she’s so excited! I think that says it all about how wonderful of a job April and her partner do :)
April is always the best! I’m not sure I’ve ever had a Rover that my dog has loved going to more than April’s house.
April took wonderful care of my dog, Bheem, from start to finish. She was attentive, caring, and made sure he was comfortable the entire time. I really appreciated the frequent updates and photos—they gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely trust April with Bheem again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter!
Took extra good care of my boy during his first time being left for an extended period of time, April went out of her way to ensure my boy was taken care of, also kept me updated everyday with pictures, highly recommend to anyone needing someone to watch their dogs
April was so sweet and accommodating! She took amazing care of our pup. Highly recommend!
April did such an amazing job this weekend with my dog, Amaya! I was afraid she wouldn’t want to come back home 😆 April is super communicative and followed all my requests for this weekend. I would definitely recommend her to others and book again!

Schedule
I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide excellent pet care. Working from home three days a week means I can offer: constant companionship -your dog won’t spend long hours alone; flexible, walks, and playtime adapted to your dogs, energy level and preferences; immediate attention to any concerns or needs that arise; and regular updates and photos so you can see how happy and comfortable your pup is.

Safety, trust & environment
I treat every dog in my care with the same devotion I gave Maya. This means paying attention to the little things that may make each dog special, maintaining their routines, and providing the love and security they need while you’re away. Your piece of mind is just as important to me as your dogs happiness. I’d love to meet you both and discuss how I can make your dog stay comfortable fun and filled with the attention they’re used to at home.
A typical day
Morning 7-8:30: start with a gentle wake up and an immediate potty break, followed by breakfast served at your dogs, usual time. I believe in maintaining familiar routine so if your pup is used to morning cuddles or a specific pre-meal ritual we will continue that. Midday: Lunchtime (if needed), exercise, and bonding time. This might be training practice with positive reinforcement, puzzle games for mental stimulation, or simply companionship, while I work from home. Evening: Dinner time, another walk, backyard, play session and an evening wind down while I read or watch TV. Every day is documented with photos and updates because I know how much you miss your baby!
