Pet care experience

2009 Petsmart Hero Award Winner

I am a former vet tech and founder of a thriving not for profit animal rescue in Arizona. Animal care has been my passion my entire life, and I've both fostered and petsat for over 25 years combined experience. Is your dog a Sr, more interested in cuddles and snacks? We'll be sofa bums and make sure any medications are on time. Is your dog still in training? Show me what they are working on and we'll keep working on it while you travel. Does kitty like to snuggle? Or are they less visible when strangers are around? I will go at their pace. With me, you can trust that your pets are in the hands of someone who will see them as one of their own. With a special needs cat of my own, and previously special needs dog, I am no stranger to in home medical care, litter boxes, yard poop detail, etc. Let's talk about your family's needs and how I can support them.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

At this time I only offer care in my clients' homes and dog walks in their general area. Depending on the needs I can perform the following: Feed, medicate, continue existing training habits, walk, clean litter boxes, brush, cuddle, and play. If you are traveling I will also water plants, bring in mail, and alternate lights on in the house to appear as someone is home if desired. My house sitting rates include this care with an overnight stay. Mid Day drops ins can be discussed for an additional cost.

April was amazing! She always stayed in contact with me and sent me updates on my babies. She went above and beyond caring for our new puppy. I would highly recommend her and I will welcome her back anytime.

April was a wonderful, trustworthy house sitter! She took excellent care of my house & pets. She updated us on their wellbeing and even had to reset all of our electronics after a storm! She kept all of our pets & houseplants happy! The plants are thriving-I will need to find out what she did for them?! LOL I would recommend April for anyone that wants a responsible adult to care for their house & property.

April was great taking care of our 2 elderly dogs for a week. She was very communicative and even went and got one of our dogs a new collar when his broke unexpectedly. Will be using her again in the future.

April was great! She helped us out in a tough situation and stayed an extra night when our flight was cancelled. We really appreciate having someone we trust at home to take care of Alice while we are away. We will definitely use April again!

Please let me know about your pets' personality ahead of time. Are they going to be anxious and go off their feed? We will come up with a plan for what stimulates them to eat, and when to worry. Does your pet have allergies, or medical needs? Are there specific things that make them anxious or uncomfortable? The more you tell me about your pet, the better prepared I am to seamlessly care for them.
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.
