Harmonizing Human-Animal connection
Pet care experience
I've been unofficially pet-sitting for friends for years and worked at a humane society for almost 7 years working with pups, kittens, dogs, cats. My last dog I had lived to be 17.5 and was diabetic for 11 years of his life. Lots of special care was needed with him! I now have a senior schipperke + chi mix whom is my traveling companion, living our best lives. Right now I am open to doing this full-time if the income is flowing, but likely/eventually would like to spend part of my time working on passion projects and making income from other PT work locally or from home. I am open to working with your needs in your home for the level of care you prefer for your fur-companion(s) to ensure their safety. Flexible; prefer to foster and encourage positive behaviours and stay away from overly-controlling methods of correction. With Penelope I am working on continuing our bond thru telepathy and intuition; really being observant of her needs and the flow of our energy when we're out and about around other poochies. I practice off-leash walking with her but recognize this isn't the norm for most humans and will work with you and your needs. A cohesive environment is important along with open communication for expectations and needs from one another so the exchange of energy is reciprocal for all parties. Good, calm energy = happy home & furr-friends!
Reviews
April was wonderful. A very kind person and punctual and flexible. Would highly recommend her to take care of my baby or any other service.
April was a loving, compassionate friend to my babies. I thank her from the bottom of my heart!❤️ She took good care of them and the house!
She was great! Went Above and beyond. Gave my children love and care. Greatly appreciated her help.
April is a friendly, attentive and intuitive pet sitter! I more than trust her with my elderly pug who has medical needs and requires special care and attention. She's professional, responsible, and always willing to go above and beyond. My pets and I highly recommend April!
About April C.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Penelope is a free-spirit & tender hearted. We take things pretty easy typically with patience on walks for sniffing out messages, sweet nectar of flowers & belly rubs. I expect owners to be transparent with needs and am happy to accommodate so long as the companion(s) are thought of in highest regard as sentient beings.
Information April C. would like to know about your pet
Definitely behavioral quirks, special needs or preferences the companions may have. anything you feel would enhance our experience together will be helpful for all beings involved.
A typical day
Beach walk, neighborhood strolls, we are outdoors most of our day. So I envision working with the owners for recommended/special places so all parties are happy!
