Dogs are family!

Pet care experience

I have had dogs my entire life and think of dogs as family, not as accessories. My husband (Collin) and I have been married for 10 years and have had two dogs of our own. Our first dog, Jacks, was an Australian Shepherd with a severe case of Epilepsy. He was high energy and special needs; he required constant care and supervision. We now have a 3 yr old Golden Retriever named Dexter. We love taking him on long hikes up in the mountains or for a swim off a trail. He is the sweetest boy and loves other dogs. If our pups get along, I may bring Dexter along on walks or drop ins; but only if that's agreeable to you. I do work a full time job, but can walk or drop in on your pup in the evenings after 5 and on available weekends. I will be the walker and sitter, but my husband Collin may join me for walks or drop ins when he's available; and obviously if I dog sit for you at my house, my husband will be an additional caregiver. We both have been vetted and have passed the background checks. Collin being around and occasionally helping care for your baby is just an added bonus included in my services though, we do not charge for having us both!

April was my Godsend when my son got married a few years ago and offered to watch my beagle Brandy who had many health issues and on several meds. I was able to not have to worry about Brandy cause she was in GREAT care with April and I was able to enjoy my son's wedding. I highly recommend!!

April & Collin are among the most dog loving owners I know. If we lived closer (280 miles apart), I would love for them to care for my dogs. In addition, my dogs would be able to play with one very well behaved and smart golden retriever. The only caution, I have is that their yard is not fenced so they will keep your dog leashed for all outside duties.

Collin and April are two of the most caring and loving dog owners I know. Their devotion and loyalty to their dog is second to none. If I needed a dog sitter or walker I would not hesitate to call them.

April and Collin are excellent with dogs. They have had dogs their entire life. They both love them a lot and enjoy spending time with them. The area they live in is great for hiking and walking in. Both of them are very much the outdoor type of people. I don’t think you could find any better people to trust your dog to.

Information April & Collin H. would like to know about your pet

I will need to know your pet's behavior and temperament, and your needs and expectations prior to services rendered. Your dog must be good with other dogs if we are to pet sit at our house as we would need our pups to get along.

A typical day

I can cater to your preferences and your dogs needs. I can bring my dog Dexter along for a play date, or leave him home if that's preferred. We can play in a yard, walk around the neighborhood, go to the park, or head up to the mountains for some fun! We love spending time at Mammoth Park, ICV Trail, Roaring Run, Bear Run, Forbes State Forest, Chestnut Ridge Park (Acme Dam), Seven Springs…. or anywhere else we can find secluded hiking trails!
