Highlights
Pet care experience
Affectionate Dog Lover & Avid Hiker
I traveled in a van for many years and before I got Richard, I cared for over twenty dogs of all sizes and temperaments all over the country. I still travel by van and offer in-home pet sitting anywhere around the American West. When I lived in Tucson, I volunteered at the shelter and fostered dogs.

Ratings and reviews
April is such a gem! Our pup has had a blast with her! :)
April has been a real bonus for us and our senior dog. She is friendly, reliable and engages well with Isabella. I trust her completely to show up on time and provide Isabella with the exercise that she needs. She is quick to respond to any questions and communicates well.
April was great with playing with my dog! She embraced the workout that my dog requires!
What can I say about April? She came to our New Mexico home brought the showers and left 2 weeks later with a ray of sunshine. While we were 3000 miles away we had no worries for our beautiful but demanding shitzu Rory. We recieved almost daily photos and April kept us informed of all their daily activities. When we returned April welcomed us back to a nice clean home, a happy Rory and a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Rory really loved her and missed her so much. I hope see is able to come again. We will welcome her with open arms.
April shows great care and love when caring for my dog, Henry. She is reliable and often available on short notice. All in all a great and trustworthy dog sitter!
April is a great mom to her little dog Gilbert. Gilbert is always clean, well-fed, relaxed, and stimulated. They go for several walks a day. She doesn't like to leave him alone and misses him when she occasionally travels and has to leave him with a friend to dog-sit. Gilbert is her constant companion and dear friend.

Schedule
I will work with the schedule and routines that your dog is used to so they feel safe and secure while you’re away. I’m also an avid hiker and would love to take your pups with me on outdoor adventures if they are up for it. Also happy to take short, gentle walks.

Safety, trust & environment
I take excellent care of the spaces where I pet sit. I will clean before I leave and will respect your privacy or any of your preferences that we discuss ahead of time.

A typical day
I love to start the day journaling in bed with coffee and snuggling the pups. Hikes and walks are part of my morning and early evening routine. Most of the day I will be home writing.
