Information April E. would like to know about your pet

I cannot keep females in heat due to keeping orher rovers. Your dog must be house broken. Accidents happen but purposely going to the bathroom in the house will result in extra fee of $25 per day.

A typical day

We play tug of war and throw a ball in the backyard. They are welcome on the couch with us. My dogs love playing with new friends.

Pets

We have a home with dog of our own.

Pet care experience

I've owned dogs my whole life. I take supplies to the local shelters to help out. My dogs have a doggie door and are on the couch with us in the evenings. Our yard is fenced and large with space to run. We have lots of toys and love playing tug of war and throwing a ball. Giving "snackies" is one of my favorites and I use this time for training. I work from home 2 days a week and off on weekends. We also have security cameras to see the dogs in real time when I'm not home. I would send you pics often to give you peace of mind and would treat your dog like family. I cannot keep females in heat.

Our Buddy absolutely loved his stay with April, her husband and her 3 girlie fur babies. April gave us regular updates on h9w Buddy was doing and included photos (which was fantastic as we were gone for 17 days and really missed our Buddy.). April always took time to answer any questions and always responded back in a timely manner. She and her husband Rob took fantastic care of Buddy and are both great people! We will be leaving Buddy with April again in the future. She loved him like one of her own. I highly recommend April for your future travels.

April was absolutely amazing with Magnum, especially with him being a first time Rover. She kept me informed the entire time so I wasn’t worried or wandering. It is very evident they are dog lovers and that made me feel even better about leaving him there! They took wonderful care of my dog!

April and her husband Rob took wonderful care of Hazel and Rocky and treated them like their own. They were very helpful and understanding, with great communication throughout. We came home to very happy pets. Highly recommend and would book again!

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.
