Pet care experience

Hi! My name is April. After growing up around dogs, my husband and I decided to get our first dog-a Hurricane Katrina rescue-as soon as we got married! Having a love for dogs evolved into a partnership with a local rescue in which I've volunteered for transport, adoption home visits, adoption follow up, and fostering. 3 dogs later-I enjoy walking the dogs around the farm, car rides(with drive thrus for pup treats of course!), and cuddling on the couch(our dogs know how to nap!). My friends know that my house is the "dog house" and that their dogs are welcome to come have fun and hang out too! I tend to be the "go to" friend when someone needs a pet sitter:) I specialize in special needs and geriatric care.

April was more than I could’ve asked for in my first time seeking out a pet sitter through this app. She was very attentive to my boys for her drop-in visits and sent me pictures and updates daily. She went above and beyond in my opinion, not just helping with my boys, but also my leopard gecko and checking on my garden plants as well. She’s definitely someone with great care and attention to detail. Will definitely be reaching out to April again when we go on any trips!

April was absolutely amazing and attentive to our babies while we were gone! We got updates with every visits and photos! My animals definitely loved her, and it was great getting to come home and they're still their happy selves! Will definitely be going through April again if she'll have us <3

I am so glad that I found April a week before my husband & I vacationed in Punta Cana D.R, She was quickly responsive and took such good care of my 3 boys ages 7,4 & 2. She made me feel so comfortable knowing my boys would be taken care of. I also loved that her husband joined her so it was double the love & interaction with my boys. They were so friendly and understanding when we met and throughout this process we became friends. I would definitely recommend April if you want excellent care for your animals and have peace in mind with the quality of care your animals will receive!
