Services
April can care for
Availability
I'm self-employed and offer a variety of services, including face painting, body painting, jagua and henna temporary tattoos, photography, fine art, Halloween makeup, and more. I also take on gig work as a residential cleaner and interior wall painter. I have invisible disabilities, including ADHD, which affects my sleep, so I'm naturally not a morning person. However, I actively work on improving my sleep schedule and do my best to maintain the earliest routine I reasonably can. When I'm doing a live-in pet sitting assignment—which is my preferred type of booking—it's much easier for me to adapt my schedule around any other work I take on throughout the city.

About April B.
Safety, trust & environment
Clients home only. I'm a big believer in keeping animals in their familiar environments because it's stressful enough when their primary human companion is away, there's no need to deregulate them by moving them to an unfamiliar place. I just feel it's kinder and gentler that's the only new thing they're having to deal with is getting used to the pet sitter. Animals are like small children and they do better when they have consistency, familiarity and routine

Pet care experience
I will give you daily updates while pet sitting with stories, videos & photos. I had pets all my life until recently & love pet sitting in other people's homes. In the 1980s my mum started a pet sitting hotel that including going to people's houses to take care of their animals. She trained me to be her assistant as a little kid and not only would they help with responsibilities but was taught how to answer the phone professionally as a secretary. We pretty much had a small Zoo at home When I was growing up with our own pets, we had rabbits, rodents, an iguana, different types of salamanders and newts, fish, land and water turtles, cats and dogs, and birds. I raised cockatiels from egg as a teenager including whistling to a baby bird who whistled back from inside the shell which was an incredible experience and later teaching that bird how to fly. The two cats I had over my twenties and thirties I had from 2002 until when they died in 2017 and 2019 respectively, I brought them to Montreal from mission BC, they were brother and sister. I was too heartbroken after that to have my own pets anymore and prefer taking care of other people's animals as a pet sitter.
Reviews
April took care of my cat (he) with incredible attention to detail. She kept me updated throughout the day with plenty of pictures and videos, and she walked him regularly and consistently. She was always quick and transparent to communicate any issues - she even bought him a portable cup so he wouldn't get dehydrated outdoors. I had complete peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. April is genuinely kind, and I will definitely be booking her again.
April came to our rescue when our booked sitter bailed on us last minute. She housesat for our cat Dimitri for 3 weeks. During this time, she followed his meal schedule, took him to many fun walks throughout the day, and played with him indoors on rainy days. She sent us plenty of photos and videos everyday. She truly cares for animals and bonded with Dimitri immediately. We are anxious pet parents especially when leaving our boy for an extended amount of time. But seeing our cat have a good time and relaxed in April's presence made our vacation much more enjoyable. I would recommend April to any pet parent (especially helicopter pet parents like us :)).
