Pet care experience
I’m April and I’m a lifelong dog lover. I’ve had pups as a child and an adult and enjoy spending time with them. They each have a unique and special personality, and it's wonderful to get to know them as individuals. In addition to owning dogs, I am a volunteer for Home for Good Dogs shelter, where I have cared for puppies and senior dogs. This experience has allowed me to extend my dog knowledge and experience and I feel comfortable with many breeds, sizes, and personalities of pups! As a person, I am trustworthy, caring, and reliable. I’ll be sure to take these qualities into my stays with your pup. Treating each dogs as if they are my own, I’ll show them love and attention, as well as keep you up to date with photos and videos! I live in a beautiful, dog-friendly home in Alpine where I’ll be home full-time to care for your pups! I live with my husband and two sons, aged eight and eleven, who love dogs and will be sure to be fun play partners! We live on a dead end street with about a half acre of flat grassy land completely fenced in by a six foot tall fence. Your pup will love to run around, sniff the trees, and chase the chipmunks. In addition to the fun, your pup will also be safe and healthy in my care. As I’m home full time during the day, I can be there to calm anxious dogs, play with energetic pups, and relax with every fur baby in between. No matter what your pup needs, I will be happy to provide my experience and love to their care. When I’m not pet sitting, I love being outdoors, swimming, fishing, skiing, hiking, and horseback riding are some of my favorite activities. I also like to spend time with my family, who will help to love and care for your pup!
Reviews
April did an exceptional job taking care of our French bulldog while we traveled and needed someone to help with him last-minute. She very quickly assured us that he was in the best hands possible, despite the fact that he is getting older and had some new health issues pop up shortly before we left. She updated us constantly which helped ease our minds as well. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who is warm, capable, and clearly loves dogs and truly enjoys taking care of them!
April took great care of my bulldog. She always updated me and sent me photos everyday. He really enjoyed spending time with her and her family. I would definitely recommend April to any pet owner and use her again in the future. Thanks so much April! You were great!!
April is really amazing. We left our labradoodle in her care for 3 nights and she could not have been happier. April sent us a ton of pictures and videos during her stay. Our dog really enjoyed running around in her gigantic back yard, and playing with Marley, April's own golden retriever. Thank you April!
Abby thoroughly enjoyed her stay. First, April has a great fenced-in yard where Abby was able to play with April's own dog Marley. April sent me a lot of photos and videos of Abby playing with him and even with her own child.. She stayed in touch with me throughout my entire trip and addressed all of Abby's needs including her picky eating routine. I felt at ease the whole time I was gone.

Dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? - Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? - What are your pup's favorite toys, treats, and games? - No aggressive dogs!!!!! Must get along with other dogs and children. No Exceptions!!! No aggressive behaviors such as; food aggression, toy aggression any aggression what so ever!!!!
A typical day
During a stay with me, your pup will have fun! I always love staying active so daily walks, hikes, or trips to the dog park are a must. Our yard is the perfect place for puppy fun and I know my boys would love to keep your pup entertained with games of fetch, tug of war, and more!
