Dog skills

15 years of experience
Oral medication administration
Senior dog experience

Can provide daily exercise

Safety, trust & environment

I can follow whatever instructions are needed/requested. I understand every pet is different and I trust the owner knows their pet better than anyone else! All I need are simple instructions on where they go potty, how often, food instuction, and if they need any extra care.

Information April E. would like to know about your pet

Basic things. How social they are, favorite activities, feeding times and amounts, if they have any special needs or quirks I should know about them!

A typical day

Every pet is different dependent on age, and activity level. I'm happy to provide stimulation on the basis of each individual pet, breed, and fitness level and their needs! Whether it is a short walk, to a jog, fetch, or a dog park. I'm versatile depending on owner requests.

Pet care experience

I grew up on a ranch, so I have always been around animals! Dogs, cats, horses, chickens, etc. I volunteered at a Friends in Need dog rescue shelter for many years. I rescued a shepherd who I was told was aggressive when I rescued him, first night I brought him home he snuggled up to me and we've grown closer together ever since. I'm in the city and I can't get another pet right now, so second best is taking care of others! I'm very passionate about taking care of pets and making sure they have a happy, loving, and fun-filled experience! I love all kinds of dogs, Large, Medium, Small, Tiny. Having one of my own I understand how difficult it can be to be away and have them in the hands of someone else, so rest assured. I treat them all as if they're my own! I can follow any owner guidelines and ensure all requirements are met if there is extra care needed, that is not an issue whatsoever as long as the resources are provided!

I shared apartment with April for about 3 years and she's an absolute gem when it comes to caring pets. I remember the day she adopted bear (her beloved pet) and it's truly remarkable how soon they bonded. Bear didn't have great past and April's went above and beyond to deal with it; she's very attentive and can sense any changes in Bear's behavior, from slight shifts in appetite to subtle mood swings. Her ability to anticipate Bear's needs is truly remarkable especially because he is a fully grown adult German shepherd with unstoppable energy. If I ever need a pet sitter I wouldn't look further than April. I can't recommend her enough. (Well, bear might recommend me cz he loves me more 😜)
