Pet care experience

Em-BARK-ing On New Adventures!

Hi! my name is April, I am new to Rover, as you can probably see. In my bio I am going to be as honest and sincere in this explanation of who I am and why you should choose me to care for your pet(s). I recently moved to North Brookfield and in doing so lost contact with a 9yr. old rescued Rottweiler who I loved and cared for. I would walk her, give her medication and feed her of course. I miss her presence. I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with the excess of free time that I have. This job opportunity seems like it will be the perfect fit. I have had many years of experience living with and caring for multiple breeds of dogs, including Rottweiler, Pitbull, Great Dane and numerous other breeds. I am an energetic woman who thrives on outdoor activities, I love exploring nearby parks, or strolling through neighborhoods I haven’t yet explored. My experience extends beyond dogs; I’ve also shared my home with cats, and I even had a wonderful rabbit who enjoyed our walks together. I recently completed a Red Cross certification in cat and dog, first aid, which enhances my ability to provide safe and responsible care for your pets. My deep fondness and connection with animals drives me to provide the best care possible, ensuring that every pet that I take care of receives the attention and exercise they deserve. If you are looking for a reliable and enthusiastic pet walker, who will treat your beloved animal like a best friend, I would love to connect!

Safety, trust & environment

I unfortunately cannot bring pets to my residence as I am renting a house right now. If you become my client, I will treat your home and your property with the utmost respect. I also have a vehicle large enough to accommodate most dogs and would be thrilled to take them to parks if that’s what works for all of us.

April was exceptional and went above and beyond. She kept me informed about what she and our pup were up to and sent lots of photos of their long walks and snuggles. After each walk, she checked him thoroughly for ticks and she even watered my plants while we were away. I felt confident my pup and home were in excellent hands! Highly recommend her!

As my first experience with April caring for Nova, I am already at ease. I am very particular about my pup and I can already tell I’ve lucked out with April. Thank you! 💜🐾

I always want to know as much about your pet as possible. In our first meet and greet, I will ask you to tell me about their behavior with you, with strangers and with other animals. I would of course want to know if any situation is going to cause angst to your beloved pet, so I can avoid those situations at all costs. I’ll need to know if any medications are needed and how you normally deliver those, if there are any known allergies and where you keep an epi pen if so. I would like to know about their past if you are willing to share it. Of course I will obviously ask what makes them truly happy.. so I will ask about giving them treats because who doesn’t love to be acknowledged for good behavior or a job well done. I know I do!
