Information April A. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know, pet preferences likes, and dislikes.. meds. or not. Health baseline. Abilities and challenges. And of course, where the treats are located. Vet and Emergency information. Bowel/bladder issues? Crate or not.

A typical day

HUGZ. LUVZ. Have fun. Bond through cuddle, play, fetch…whatever they like. If needed ware them out so that there’s no stress they can relax and sleep well. I love when they like to play in the pool or hose water. Necessary for hot Florida days so they don’t overheat. 432 relaxation music works every time.

April was absolutely wonderful. She was incredibly communicative throughout our trip, super sweet with our doodle, Bear, and left our home spotless. It’s such a relief knowing he was in such caring hands. We’d happily book her again!

I recently hired April to watch my 2 dogs while going on a 16 day trip. April communicated well and took great care of them while we were away. She bonded so well with my dogs and they seemed very happy and content in all of the pictures and videos she sent me. My home was also left in a clean condition. I will definitely consider her services again in the future and would recommend her to anyone seeking dogsitting services in the area!

April was absolutely wonderful with our Hana! This was our first time using Rover and our first time working with April, and she exceeded every expectation. She was incredibly organized, respectful, and clearly very knowledgeable about dogs — which is especially important when you have a German Shepherd. From the start, she gave us total confidence that Hana was in the right hands. We were able to truly relax while we were away knowing April was taking such great care of our girl. We’ve already booked her again for another trip later this month — that says it all! Highly recommend!

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.
