Let me know any special needs or behavioral issues ahead of time please. I would love to accommodate your pet to the best of my ability.

A typical day

I love to give dogs both mental and physical enrichment. I frequently play games inside like "find the treat" or give licky mats with my dog. I also give a minimum of three walks a day and do hikes or runs 2-3 times a week. I also love to snuggle up on the couch and give some love!

Pet care experience

Hi there, my name is April. I have been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs, cats, horses, goats, and rabbits. I now have two jack russel mixes: Choco + Sophie. In 2020, I worked as a dog care provider at a Pit Bull rescue facility in California. In that job, I learned a lot about dog behavior and rehabilitation. It opened up my heart to dogs that had been discarded and showed me the joy in providing second chances. In 2022 and 2023 I worked as a dog handler at a doggy daycare in Kentucky. At that job, I completed two 6-week-courses on dog behavior and comprehensive care. Through those courses, I learned a lot about dog communication and group behavioral management. I now consider myself very competent at facilitating safe and enriching experiences for all dog types / breeds. I currently work for a Wilderness Nonprofit here in Missoula. I work from home a lot and take my dogs out on walks or hikes every day. I would love to incorporate your pet into my schedule!

April took very good care of our energetic dog June with very short notice. She accommodated our rather unpredictable schedule with ease.

April is awesome! My boy came home happy and tired. She is trustworthy and cared for him like her own.

The doggies were returned clean and happy. I would take them back there anytime.

Luna came home happy so I know she was treated well. She's lively so apparently she enjoyed having playmates. So glad I found April.
