Reviews
As a veterinary professional myself, who has an aging dog with chronic health issues, I felt instantly comfortable with April. She asked necessary and important questions, validated my concerns with my pet, and exchanged ideas of how to best work with both of my dogs. She has been nothing but profession, kind, caring, and reliable. I highly recommend April!
My cats seemed happy and healthy when I returned from my trip. April also tended to a wound on of them, which had healed nicely while I was gone. Will definitely utilize April in the future. Highly recommend!
I trust April implicitly. She is the first person I call when it comes to my pets and I know she will care for them like her own when I am away. Even my shyest cat comes around to get pets from April. She is knowledgeable, reliable, meticulous, and honest. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone who is looking for an exceptional caretaker.
April has been pet sitting for us for many years, and always does an excellent job with our golden retriever. She treats him as if he’s one of her own dogs and spends a lot of time making sure he gets ample amounts of exercise, and attention. She also provides regular updates, and pictures. We can always trust that our dog is in capable hands for any amount of time that we’re away.

Safety, trust & environment
I am trained in all necessary life-saving techniques including CPR for dogs and cats. Additionally, I teach CPR to veterinary emergency staff. Keeping your pet safe and stress low is my priority. We will work together to find the best ways to meet your pet’s needs while you are away.
Information April B. would like to know about your pet
I have experience with any and all breeds and temperaments. I would like to know their behavior in different situations and how you typically engage during training.
A typical day
You decide how much exercise your pet needs and for how long, and I’ll take the fun from there! I am comfortable taking dogs on walks around the neighborhood, or longer hikes as you see fit. I charge the same rate no matter how long we walk. You’ll advise me where you’d like us to go, or if you prefer a trail hike, I have decades of experience in the area and have a plethora of safe areas to walk.

Availability
My veterinary training business allows me the flexibility to meet many different needs in and out of the house. I know what to watch for in illness or injury and understand the complexities of dealing with emergencies while you are away. It can mean all the difference in the world. If timely medications are required, I am happy to accommodate. My dog walking rates are for ANY amount of time you want us to walk for. If your dog wants to go for an hour and a half, my rate is the same. The dogs that need it, really need it. I am happy to give them all the time they crave to run around, sniff, and be a dog.
