Ratings and reviews
Finley LOVED his short stay with April! I was so impressed with the questions she asked me at our meet and greet, and after seeing her set-up I left feeling confident that she would take excellent care of Finley. She understood Finley's breed requirements and his temperament. Finley had such a great time with April, and with the other dogs. She has a good routine so that each dog gets individual attention and time to play with other dogs that match their personalities. Communication with April was quick and efficient and she worked with us when we had some timing changes. Would I book April again? Absolutely!
April knew exactly what my pup needed. As a “still in training” young dog, she reinforced the skills we were already learning and kept him engaged. She has a great indoor space and safe backyard for dogs. We received frequent updates and it was clear he very much enjoyed his stay.
10/10 do recommend
Great experience! This was the first time leaving our lab with anyone and we were nervous. April exceeded all our expectations and our dog was happy the whole time! Loved the daily picture or videos she sends as well.
April was so great with our dog! She’s quick to respond to messages and always sends pics, videos, and updates. April is very knowledgeable, accommodating, and professional. I really felt at ease leaving my 5-month-old puppy with her.
We love April!!

A typical day
I focus on 3 things. Play, Pack Walks, and Nose work. These activities can look different depending on the dog. When the weather is bad, I teach dogs to walk an our indoor treadmill. I am finding dogs LOVE this activity. (much more than I do ha ha) Dogs learn how to take turns in play that is super cool to watch. Hide and Seek is also a super fun game for both of us.

- 1. I prioritize pets who are kennel-trained. It is a fantastic tool to keep a calm, organized environment for dogs. When I pair up dogs who have similar play styles, the others wait their turn. It’s a win-win on so many levels. 2. Does your dog have any specific dietary restrictions or allergies? 3. How does your dog interact with other dogs and animals? 4. Are there any behavioral or training issues I should be aware of? 5. Does your dog have any medical conditions or require any medication or special care? These questions help me gather important information about your dog's needs, behavior, and any specific instructions or precautions I should take while watching them.
