Availability

I work from home on most days, unless I’m going out into the field. I can easily take dogs all hours of the day as long as my schedule permits me to do so. On the weekends I’m fully available. Your pup will be taken out before work, during the afternoon, after work, and one last potty break late in the evening. On the weekends, I like taking the pups on longer walks around the water near Fells or Patterson Park.

Safety, trust & environment

Fur babies are allowed on the couch and the bed and everywhere my sassy Corgi girl is! All play toys are for all dogs and frequent bathroom breaks are taken throughout the day. I live close to Patterson Park and the Canton Promenade for daily outings. I will follow all medication, supplement, and food guidelines to a “T.” I understand how important it is to pet parents because my Corgi needs daily supplements each day and special food to keep her healthy.

Information April E. would like to know about your pet

Let me know about crate training, separation anxiety, and reactive behavior towards dogs and people and also if they are known to have frequent accidents in the house. Your dog MUST be friendly and is a requirement!

A typical day

I love taking the dogs to Patterson Park or around the promenade to Fells Point to take in the sights and smells of the city. Other than that it’s lots of nap time and one on one doggy playtime at the house!

Pet care experience

I am currently a Service Coordinator for people with special needs, so I’m home 80-90% of the time. I was a special education assistant teacher at a high school for 5 years before I landed my new role in October ‘24. I have always had pets growing up, and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in pet care is from having my own pets and caring for my family, friends, and the people I support for work. I currently have a three and a half year old Pembroke Corgi that I’ve had since she was 8 weeks, so I’m very familiar with puppyhood and how time consuming and the patience it takes to parent a puppy! I’m very diligent, careful, and have a keen eye for “street snacks”, “spicy flies”, and dogs who are possibly reactive. When it comes to your pup, I will ensure they will ALWAYS be safe. I work from home about 90% of the time and am rarely gone for more than two hours, so your pets will have plenty of companionship. I provide enrichment, long walks, and most importantly endless cuddles and affection.

April took great care of our dog Charlie! She was very attentive and was flexible with some last minute medication our dog needed. She was also on top of keeping us updated throughout his stay.
