Pet Sitter w/25+ years experience

Pet care experience

*9/2/23 update* Recently took a few months off to deal with some life changes, but I am back and ready to provide the best service possible for your pets. I have recently moved to Forest Acres. My precious boy Max who hated all other animals has passed away, sadly. This has allowed me to open up overnight services in my home. I am only able to keep one pup at a time. Looking forward to seeing some of my repeat clients as well as meeting new ones! Hi, I'm April and for as long as I can remember, I have loved animals of every kind. I currently have an English Bulldog, Max, that is my absolute heart! I also have a 13 year old daughter who loves animals as much as I do. I have been pet sitting for friends and family since I was a teenager. As a child, I had many different pets; hamsters, bunnies, cats, dogs, birds and even a PIG! This year has been one to remember for me as I fought and WON against Ovarian cancer. One of the things that journey taught me was to enjoy life and do things that make you happy every single day. There are few things in this world I enjoy more than snuggling with my Max! I decided to start this business to spend more time with animals and help pet owners provide the best possible care for their furry family members!. I'm very responsible and have a Master's Degree in Business Administration. My business knowledge, customer service skills and love of animals will ensure you have a great experience with me! Let's set up a meet and greet and see how I can help you and your pets!

April did an amazing job taking care of our 3 pups on short notice. The dogs absolutely loved her and we were so thankful that she took such good care of them. I absolutely would recommend her and use her again to watch our dogs.

What are triggers for you dog? For example, other animals, motorcycles, golf carts, etc. What type of activities does your pet enjoy? Food and medicine schedule. Does your dog like to sleep with you?

A typical day

We will enjoy walks together with lots of sniffing along the way. I like to walk dogs in different areas of the neighborhood as much as possible to give them new things to smell and discover. Lots of cuddles are a necessity, of course.
