"Furever Friends"

Hi! I'm April and I've always had a strong love for animals. I will provide excellent care for your fur babies while you are away. I am a pet sitter because I LOVE animals. I love creating lasting friendships with your fur babies. • Are you going to be gone on a trip and want regular updates, pictures, and the best care for your fur babies? I can provide all of this! • Gone during the day and need someone to let your dogs outside with included socializing and playtime? I love to play with dogs! • I am an expert in providing silly voices that are sure to make your fur baby smile. SERVICES I PROVIDE: • Drop-in Visits are available in 30 or 60 minutes increments. • Feeding, including any tablets or medication they need (in food only) • Refreshing Water • Scooping litter boxes daily • Playtime with cats and dogs (if they are interested) • Letting dogs out to go to the bathroom • Socializing by petting, talking, hugging (only at their comfort level and I'm observant of their body language) • Bringing in mail and any packages if needed (LIGHTWEIGHT ONLY) > I do not provide dog walking, house sitting, or boarding. < RATES & FEES: • Drop-In Visits: $25 base rate for one fur baby +$6 per additional dog / $6 per additional cat. Current rates can be found directly here on my profile and are subject to change. • HOLIDAY Visits: $30 base rate for one fur baby. Same additional dog and cat fees. • Key Pick-Up & Return: $10 per pick-up/drop-off to help cover fuel and time. However, this is provided FREE for bookings that are a continuous 7 days or more. • Additional Visits: $25. For any visits needed to see a new location, home, setup, or routine, it is $25 a visit (my base rate). We will schedule it as a visit on the Rover app. I will take notes! I UNDERSTAND: As a cat mom, I understand it can be difficult to be away from your fur babies. I am detail-oriented to make sure your pets receive the very best care. I know how important it is to have peace of mind about your furry family while you are away. I'm committed to providing excellent care. I give regular updates and pictures with my drop-in visits. I am a caring, responsible, and dependable person. MY BACKGROUND: I've had guinea pigs, rabbits, cats, and dogs. I had an amazing Siamese cat, Jazz, for 16 years and he passed in September 2025. He sent a new baby my way and her name is Sunshine! She's an intelligent, vocal tortoiseshell who is about 1 year old as of October 2025. I have over 5 years of experience pet-sitting combined with personal experience caring for my own fur babies all my adult life. Feel free to request a booking and let me know of any questions you have. I offer 1 free meet and greet of the length of about 20 minutes. I'd love to meet you! Please note, any additional visits needed to show home, routine, or for me to take notes is $25 a visit. 1 FREE MEET & GREET: Request your free M&G when you submit a booking request. I'll have a few questions and then we can set up a time for the M&G. This will give you an opportunity to see if I am a good match for your furry one(s). I'll take notes on the details of the job regarding food, water, treats, routine, and see where everything is located. If you decide you want to book with me, then you're also welcome to add notes to Rover and I encourage you to add notes at your house for when I arrive for the drop-in visits later. REFERRALS: If you are happy with my services, would you consider referring me to your friends and neighbors? I'm happy to provide 1 free drop-in visit if someone you referred decides to book with me! I look forward to hearing from you!

April was absolutely amazing while we were gone on vacation! She sends update photos at every check in, and we loved reading about how our two cats were doing while we were away. She made sure to spend quality time with them each day and made sure they were eating. We could tell that they were very well taken care of while we were gone! :) We would hire her again for future check ins.

Schedule

I sell handmade jewelry and am a spiritual coach & intuitive reader - in addition to my pet sitting services. My schedule is flexible for drop-in visits anytime between 7:30 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. (as a general estimate).

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
April can host up to 9 drop-ins per day
1) I need to know what kind of care is needed, for example: "Let outside, feed, add water to fountain, etc." 2) I need to know a tiny snippet about their personality and how they respond to new people. 3) I schedule a meet and greet first. We can set up a time that works for us both and I'll ask for your address. I typically need this info 24 hours ahead of time so I can plan my next day accordingly to care for all the animals and my other responsibilities. Sometimes I can schedule a meet and greet the same day, so feel free to request it and I'll accommodate, if possible.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
