Your pets deserve only the best!

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm April! I am a seasoned pet owner and pet sitter, and have many years of combined experience with wildlife rehabilitation, dog sitting/walking/training and kennel work. Going home to see my pets is the best part of my day- which means that, when I’m with yours, I’ll treat them like my own family. My services and skills: -First aid training -Basic puppy and adult dog training -Experience with injections and oral medication -Senior dogs -Special needs -High-energy breeds -Grooming, nail-trimming and ear cleaning I would be more than happy to look after any additional pets you may have in your home while you are away. I have had experience owning and caring for dogs, cats, small mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and aquatics. Your pets deserve only the best! Whether it's a midday walk or a week-long holiday- you can count on me to take care of your pets when you need it most. If you have any questions or would like to discuss my experience and history with animals, please let me know! I’d be more than happy to set up a meet and greet, and accept phone calls all day every day. If I don’t answer, please leave a message and I’ll make sure to get right back to you at 705/791/8224

Nice and friendly, but let's the dog do anything. Needs to control the dog according to owners wants and needs
