Experienced Service Dog Handler

Pet care experience

My name is April and I am a Veteran and Certified Service Dog Handler. I have had my dog for over three years. We enjoy our daily walks that occur along the beach or at the park.My dog knows basic and advanced commands. She is great company for other dogs or she can be left at home. I believe every dog has unique needs and personalities. I am willing to provide excellent customer service and listen to your individual needs. We look forward to meeting you. I am a clean organized individual that respects housing expectations from customers. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover since I was a kid. I have been a Certified Social Therapy and Service Dog handler for past three years. I have also served as a puppy nanny assistant for two years. About my yard I have an outdoor area that is not fenced in at this time. However, there plenty of room outside my patio for exercise and bathroom needs. I also gave a park less than 10 minutes away.

April was one of the first sitters to ever watch Jasper. She did great on the trial run and Jasper enjoyed being with her! Unfortunately I left the area shortly after but would have used April again if I had stayed!

April was an amazing house sitter - we were flying cross country and going to be gone for nine days, and the moment we met April we knew we'd feel safe with her watching over our boys. It was so wonderful to know that someone as experienced as her would be making extended visits to the house, rather than sending the boys to a kennel or boarding where we have no idea how much attention they really receive. She sent us daily updates and pictures, and was even willing to change our snake's water while we were gone! We'll absolutely be booking with her again if she's able and willing!

April Cook stayed with my dog over Christmas. I know Katie was well taken care of as her look and her actions showed me that April had spent quality time with her. I was so pleased. April went above and beyond as the house was cleaned, the kitchen in good order the linens washed and the sheets changed. She even left a present for me and some wonderful vitamins for the older dog, which Katie is. She is 15 I would highly recommend April to anyone. I had complete confidence that Katie would be well cared for. Thank you April.

April did a fantablous job taking care of Jake. She was very attentive to his daily needs like meds, helping him up and down steps and where he loves to be rubbed under the chin. I got pictures of Jake during our vacation. She took the time to come when needed and laundered Jakes favorite robe that he loved to drag out and lay with. The process was very simple to get ApriI and I would recommend April and Rover.com to everyone. And I would use April's services again.
