Information April B. would like to know about your pet

When caring for your pup I want to know all the specific details necessary to best serve them and you. What are their activity levels, specific meal instructions, medications, potty training level, etc... If it's important to you, it's important to me.

A typical day

Every day will consist of tons of loves and cuddles. If your pup likes to play, i'm down on the floor engaging with them! We will base meals and snacks on your preferences. Potty breaks and outside play are offered every two hours at a minimum, and always fully supervised. I want to engage your pup in the appropriate amount of play and stimulation for their specific needs. Of course, plenty of lounging and napping opportunities are provided throughout the day!

Big Heart for Small Dogs

Pet care experience

Calm, attentive home boarding for small & hypoallergenic dogs. Hi! I'm a lifelong small dog lover with 16 years of hands-on experience caring for my three Yorkies and Maltese. After many beautiful years with them, I now have the space and heart to welcome other small, hypoallergenic dogs into my peaceful Vancouver home. I work entirely from home, which means your pup will have consistent companionship and supervision throughout the day - no long stretches alone. I specialize in toy and small breeds and truly understand their unique needs, including;  Separation anxiety  Senior care & diminished cognition  Blindness or deafness  Physical limitations  Medication administration  Sensitive temperaments  Picky eaters & routine-oriented pups Small dogs often need gentleness, predictability, and emotional reassurance - and that's exactly the environment I provide. Your dog will enjoy:  A fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time  A calm, non-smoking home  Lots of affection and quiet companionship  Daily photo updates for your peace of mind  Consistent routines tailored to your dog’s needs If you’re looking for boutique-style, low-stress boarding rather than a busy, crowded environment, I would love to connect. Let’s schedule a meet & greet to ensure it’s a perfect fit for everyone.

April is such a fantastic dog sitter. Her communication throughout the visit was consistent with lots of wonderful pictures. Her backyard is nice and safely enclosed. I felt great knowing my dog was in good hands.

April was great to work with. She had excellent communication throughout the day and was able to watch Daisy on short notice. Daisy seemed comfortable and well cared for. I would definitely recommend April to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.

There is no one I would trust more than April with my pets. She has so much experience pet sitting & walking that I know my babies are in good hands. She will treat your pets like her own & that’s the best part, knowing my babies are not only safe but also loved like I love them!

April has been my good friend for over a decade. She is special, trustworthy, and caring individual. She has been a dog owner for 16 years and has a deep connection to animals. Her tenderness and attention to your furry babies will give you peace of mind while you're away.
