Your Dogs Favorite Backup Bestie

I typically serve areas in/near Zebulon and Wendell; I am open to additional areas, however, may discuss an additional fee for my travel. Thank you for understanding! I have a mini poodle, mini Aussie, and regular size Aussie, and anyone who knows me knows I love them like crazy! My poodle has overall anxiety as well as separation anxiety, so I understand the babies who need a little extra love and care. My love for dogs has grown over the years as I always had a dog growing up/as a young adult; I love creating a special bond with them, especially getting to know their personalities. I think I am perfect for the shy or timid ones, who need a little time to adjust. Can't wait to meet your pup and learn all about them!

Safety, trust & environment

I have used dog sitters for several years when needed, so I understand the vulnerability it takes to allow someone you don’t truly know into your home. I will always leave things in your home as I found them (or better!).

April, always does an amazing job. This was Allie’s first stay without our loved Kentucky Bear and I was so worried it was going to be hard for all parties involved. To my surprise Allie did great I think it’s because of the special bond her and April have. She may be my antisocial one but April makes her feel so loved and cared for. April even left us a special present with Kentuckys photos in it on our stove which she totally did not need to do at all. Thank you for being the best neighbor/dog sitter around I wouldn’t know what to do without you.

April was awesome - she came by as expected, sent us updates and cute photos of our cats. She's responsive and easy to work with. Totally recommend and would book again!

April is absolutely amazing. Allie and Kentucky love when she comes to hang out with them, maybe more than they love us. For the next few days after she comes they look for her return. Allie and Kentucky have started to show more of their personality each time. Bonus that she lives so close to us.

Let me know if your dog(s) have any quirks or require any extra attention or care. I don’t want to bother you when you’re away if there’s something something your pup does regularly that I’m unaware of! Please make sure to let me know where the food, leashes/harnesses, treats, etc are before the visit!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
