I currently work part time at petco in the mornings mostly. I do have my own animals as well, but find myself also always wishing I had more. I have plenty of time and heart to give!

I can play fetch, tug, do puzzle games, and figure out what your dog's favorite games are! I love going on walks, so if you'd allow it, I may take your dog out for a walk and play session.

Affectionate, intelligent pet care

Pet care experience

I've grown up with dogs and once I lived on my own, soon adopted 3 cats. I've had several dogs and cats throughout my life, loving them as my children. Every animal I meet melts my heart in their own special way and I fall in love every time. I would be honored to care for your fur [or scale!] baby/ies!

April was able to pick up our last minute request and stayed an hour later than expected when our concert started late! Thanks for watching Zag!

I scheduled with her and was bummed she didn’t offer grooming. I mentioned this to her when I dropped the dogs off and she asked how much the other lady was going to charge, I said $50 and she said she’d do it for $40. She said she didn’t have grooming setup through rover yet, so I paid her $40 in cash. Everything seemed to be going great, she was updating me with pictures and everything. Out of the blue she messaged me saying that one of my dogs supposedly bit her fiancé. I didn’t think that sounded right to begin with and then she said they were not acting right in the kennel(my dogs are very well trained in the kennel). I thought that sounded ludicrous as well. She then said one of my dogs pooped on the floor(once again another thing I haven’t experienced since he was a puppy). Then she asked if my 3 year old dog even knew her name. At this point I knew she was just making excuses to get me to come pick up my dogs. I did get my dogs at 10:30PM and they gave me a bag(I assumed my $40 was in there along with 2 separate bags of dog food, there was unfortunately only dog food). So I messaged her about the $40 and she pretended to know nothing about it. So I’m guessing she just lied about everything at this point.

Great communication and care for my fur babies! I was nervous about leaving Luna while still recovering after surgery but April took such good care of her and kept me posted at each visit on how she was healing. Marci is also very anxious with storms and fireworks but appeared happy and calm with every visit.

April did a great job taking care of my two kitties while I was out of town for a week. She was communicative and consistent, which allowed me to enjoy the time with my family knowing my cats were in good hands.
