Highlights
Pet care experience
Foster dog parent
Our family has been taking in foster dogs for the past six months. Before that, we watched dogs for friends and family on an as needed basis. I have 3 children in the house age 13, 9 and 7. Sometimes they are with their dad, so if your dog doesn't do well with children we can still possibly work something out depending on dates. Just let me know. When they are here, they absolutely love to dote on our furry visitors both big and small and are always careful to respect the dog's space if they need alone time. I grew up with dogs in my family as well and my best friend is a vet tech, she's always giving me helpful doggie tips! After fostering for others, we now have our own dog named Taylor Swift who would love some friends to visit! We are very responsible and have experience with a variety of dog breeds and ages. We will also make sure to follow any special instructions necessary for your pet. For overnights we can do crates, dog beds, or let the dog stay in the bedroom depending on your preference. We love to play and always give our furry friends lots of attention and love when they visit. If you have any other questions just let us know. We are a great family with lots of dog experience and references!

Ratings and reviews
April did a great job with Maizie
Wonderful sitter! Lots of communication, sent pictures and updates throughout out the stay.
April takes good care of our dogs. She sends a picture so we know they are happy. So we can relax & know they are in good hands.
April took wonderful care of our 2 dogs. They both have seperation anxiety so boarding them feels, to them. like being tortured. She sent updates, pics, made us feel very good about choosing her to care for our dogs.
April took very good care of my dog, Moose. Moose and I have been inseparable since the pandemic and I work from home most days. Moose is also very Velcro. April made moose feel right at home, communicated very well (which gave me a huge peace of mind while traveling ), and gave frequent updates. Thanks for taking care of Moose, April! We will book again in the future.
April took such good care of our Newfoundland for a week. She and her family gave our dog lots of snuggles and made her feel comfy, which is a tall order for our nervous girl! April was very kind, responsive, and provided the cutest daily updates. I would 100% recommend her!!!

Schedule
I'm home full-time save occasional errands. Pets are fed according to any schedule provided but generally our day starts around 9 AM. The kids love to spoil our visitors with play and cuddles.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We will follow any instructions left. Pets are fed separately for safety. If your pet does not eat at scheduled times, then a space they can eat will be provided separate from the other dogs and food offered throughout the day. We like to hang out with our visitors just as we do our own dog. They'll come with us on any dog-friendly outings, play outside, and get lots of cuddles! The downstairs and living room area is the most dog friendly with a dog door to the backyard. This is our main hangout spot but the older dogs often opt to lay out on the deck which gets lots of sun, or with the grown ups upstairs.

A typical day
With a family of 4 humans and one furbaby of our own, when your dog stays with us it will get lots of love and attention. We have a fully fenced yard and a doggie door (closed at night) to make play and potty breaks easy.
