I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my beloved pets to April's care, and I can confidently say that she is an exceptional pet sitter. From the moment I contacted her, April displayed a genuine love and passion for animals, putting my mind at ease knowing that my furry friends would be in good hands. Throughout her time caring for my pets, April consistently went above and beyond my expectations. She followed all instructions diligently, ensuring that my pets' routines were maintained and that they received proper nourishment and exercise. Additionally, she took the time to give them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, which made them feel loved and secure in her care. What truly sets April apart is her unwavering commitment to the well-being and happiness of animals. She possesses a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors, allowing her to anticipate and address any potential issues promptly. Whether it was administering medications or handling specific dietary requirements, April consistently demonstrated her knowledge and expertise. Aside from her exceptional care skills, April is also incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and communicative. She provided regular updates, including photos and videos, which reassured me that my pets were thriving under her watchful eye. I appreciated her openness and transparency, as it enabled me to be fully confident in her abilities as a pet sitter. Overall, I cannot recommend April enough for anyone seeking a pet sitter. Her genuine love for animals, coupled with her professionalism and dedication, make her the ideal choice for those looking for peace of mind when leaving their furry family members behind. With April, you can rest assured that your pets will receive the highest level of care and devotion, making her a true gem in the pet sitting industry.

Safety, trust & environment

Being Fear Free Certified, I believe it important to be patient and use positive reinforcement with animals. No matter what, I will find the BEST way to accommodate your best animal friend to make sure they are doing the best while you are away! I have experience with all dogs from small to extra large. I own a Bloodhound dogs who is over 100 pounds, so I am comfortable around big dogs. I will go above and beyond to accommodate your pooch! I can let you know real time how your doggy is doing and what we are doing if we are going anywhere etc. Or if you would simply not like to be bothered that works too! If you have a high energy dog, I would be more than happy to play ball, take your doggy to the park or dog beach. Dog more of a couch potato? Fine with me! We will relax and watch some TV. I look forward to getting to know your dog!

Information April D. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog have any medical needs? Is he or she potty trained? Is your dog friendly with other animals? Anything else I should know?

A typical day

I will base the day around your pet and their needs. Do you have a lazy dog? No problem, we can be couch potatoes together. Do you have a high energy working dog? We can walk, play and I will tire them out.
