We love dogs!

Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is truly something I love. I regularly donate supplies to local animal shelters because giving back to dogs in need is important to me. In our home, dogs are treated like family. They have access to a doggie door, love relaxing on the couch with us in the evenings, and enjoy a large, securely fenced yard with plenty of room to run and play. We always have lots of toys on hand for games of tug-of-war and fetch. One of my favorite parts of the day is handing out "snackies," which also gives us a fun opportunity to reinforce good manners and basic training through positive rewards. I'll keep you updated with frequent photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Your dog will be loved, cared for, and treated just like a member of our family. For the comfort and safety of all dogs in my care, I am unable to accept female dogs that are currently in heat.

April was amazing! We liked her the first time we met her! Bandit was treated so well! Bandit is an older dog and had some issues while he stayed with her! She handled them like a champ! She also gave him his medications! We would highly recommend April to anyone that needs pet care! 🐾

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!

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. I do work outside my home 3 days per week but we have a doggie door to a 6'privacy fenced backyard. The dogs have access 24/7 to the doggie day.
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.
