I can stay in your home overnight, or stop in to check on your pets as needed. Unfortunately I do not have the ability to do in home boarding at this time due to staying in military housing during the week. My primary availability is M-F, but could do weekends on a case-by-case basis depending on your needs. Feel free to reach out and let's chat!

Information April J. would like to know about your pet

Has your pet ever shown any aggressive behavior? Any anxiety or triggers that I should know about? What is their regularly scheduled feeding times and bathroom breaks so I can keep them as close to their normal routines as possible?

A typical day

My dogs love playing with their toys in the yard, chasing balls, going for walks, and taking puppy naps while snuggled up on their favorite sofa. I am overly joyed to accommodate any special activity that your fur babies may love!

Dog & Fluffy Chicken Mama

Pet care experience

I'm a geographical bachelorette currently stationed at Fort Leonard Wood and I love animals of every kind. I am an avid dog rescuer and foster Mama, but this past year have become quite familiar with chickens and farm animals. My husband and I have three giant dogs and eight fluffy chickens, and I am looking forward to getting some milk goats one day after I retire. Spending time away from my animals (and husband) is difficult, but I would love to come and give all of my attention to care for your animals while I'm here! I have decades of experience caring for a variety of animals big and small, and I am comfortable with caring for those that need some extra special attention.

April adores dogs. She has three adopted giants at home that might get better treatment than her husband (lol). Almost everything in the home has been customized to ensure they have a happy home, to include the recent large couch upgrade. If there's anyone would love to come love on your dogs for you, it's April.
