Information April B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or medication. How do they respond with other dogs. We want this to be a great fit for both you and our family.

A typical day

I always adjust my activities based on the dogs needs. If your dog loves playing ball, I’ll throw it. If they love going on walks, I’ll walk them lots. If they love to cuddle and relax I’m happy to do that too!

Pet care experience

Stay at home dog mom with fenced yard. Attn:All dogs must be on flea prevention and flea free. * no markers * No prong collars I am a former Vet Tech of 20 years who takes a loving and compassionate approach to pet care. I sympathize with the worries, and concerns that arise with having to board, that's why I am dedicated to treating your pet with the same love, attention, and care that I. give to my own pups.I have extensive experience with caring for dogs. You can rest assure that your pet will be taken care of by a trustworthy pet veteran! A typical stay for your pup would include lots of fun, exercise and outdoor activities mixed with lazy snuggling down time. Your pup is guaranteed to get a minimum of two daily strolls throughout the lovely tree lined grassy streets in our Westside neighborhood. Evenings are generally the time when our pet guests are snuggled in between us on the couch getting lots of head, and belly rubs, or engaged in playing with their toys, and each other. Thanks so much for considering me with the very important responsibility of caring for your pet. I look forward to playing, and snuggling with them. Our Yard I have a privacy fenced in yard for your pups to run an play in. Medication Medication can be dispensed at no additional charge. Regarding Escape Artists If you have a dog that consistently gets out of securley fenced areas please DO NOT attempt to board them at our home. Dogs are living and breathing creature with minds of their own. If they are determined to get out of a confined area, they will find a way or hurt themselves trying. Thank you Feeding It is healthier for a dog to consume the same food as it does at home. For this reason, the owners are responsible for providing food for the duration of the pets stay. What if my dog is a fence jumper? At this time we do not board dogs that will climb or jump a 4ft fence. I’m currently a Full Time Pet Sitter. I’m very flexible in accommodating your pet as long as I’m available to do so. Please let me know what works best for you. We will send you pictures and updates on your fur baby. We have a fenced backyard and I’m a full time pet sitter. I have 1 dog to keep your fur baby company. Long term or short term stay. Furbabies will have free roam of the home. I view them as one of the family to they are always welcome on the couch and bed. I am currently a stay at home dog Mom. I do not work outside the home. I’m home a lot with the dogs during their time here.

If I could leave ZERO stars, I would. Do not leave your pet with this woman. I was hesitant from the moment of drop-off and should have listened to my gut. She barely spoke to me when I arrived and only opened the front door enough to take my dog’s leash from my hand. The very next day — my WEDDING day — I received a text message from April, not even a phone call, saying she had lost Blue. She then tried to blame me for not telling her he was a “door dasher.” Blue has never gotten out before and does not “door dash.” My husband had to leave our wedding venue to search for our dog. Thankfully, Blue was found a few hours later. Not once did April apologize. Instead, she seemed annoyed when my husband asked for Blue’s belongings back so we could take him home. Once we got Blue home, we noticed injuries to his face and head. On top of everything else, we then had to scramble to find emergency arrangements for someone to care for Blue during our honeymoon because of this nightmare experience. I would never trust her with my pet again. When I asked for my refund for the 11 days I had paid for April to keep him in advance, I didn’t even get a response back from her. I still have not been refunded through ROVER for the cancelled booking.

April was very nice and had availability on a short notice. It was our dog's first time staying with her. She provided a quick update and a couple of photos the first day. However, she didn't provide any other feedback unless I requested it which was unfortunate. She was quick to communicate though.

She always takes great care of our senior pup! April is a wonderful caretaker that we’ve been using for our dog for several years now. We appreciate having someone we can trust when we leave and know our girl is in good hands!
