I have known April for many years, and I can't even tell you how many dogs I have seen warm to her instantly. My dog, Lucy, can be curious but wary of new people, and pretty much only gets truly excited when she sees family. She is always truly excited to see April. April has a huge and loving heart for all animals. My cat, for instance, is extremely cautious around most people. She has only ever let three people pet her, me, my mom, and April (and on their first meeting no less!). April is reliable, patient, and she CARES. I would never hesitate to ask her to take care of my animals for any length of time, whether for just a walk, or for a week long vacation, and I can think of countless people that feel the same way. Any dog mom or dad would be lucky to have her as their dog walker, and could feel secure and confident knowing their pup was in loving hands.
