Love your Companions!
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is April and I can't wait to meet your four-legged creatures! I am 22 years of age and currently have an 3 year old daughter. She takes after her mother when it comes to animals! As fortunate as I am being a mother, I am even more fortunate to have the overwhelming desire to help pets and their owners. I understand how difficult it may be bringing your friends with you for vacation, or even your guilt of leaving them behind to go to work. No one wants their pets to be lonely, and NO one wants them poorly serviced. It is time to change the meaning of hospitality! I have worked at two Boarding/Daycare Kennels for about 3 years and I can't tell you guys how much I have learned. How much I have learned about observing, redirecting, animal behavior, dog play, feeding, medicating and more! I have been working as a pet groomer the past year and have really found my place in the animal industry. Animals have been such a big part of my life, ever since my first and only furry best friend past away I have been eager to make a difference and take care of animals when they are in need of help. If you would like to know more about me and my pet handling skills, please feel free to contact me through Rover! Thank you for giving me a chance! April I have been taking care of pets for 2 years now! I am a very responsible personnel and follow every rule carefully and indecisively when it comes to being in other peoples homes! Chances are I will only touch the dogs belongings and anything that makes your pet happy and relaxed! There is no doubt you will come home from your long departure satisfied! I have professional experience feeding, medicating, bathing, grooming, playing, walking, and a bit of training. I am more focused on the happiness of your pet then the orders he/she will follow! I am easy to adjust and willing to love and care for your pets. Why I love dog sitting For a very very long time! I have seen some very horrible things happen to dogs and I have made a decision to stop these bad things from ever happening again! I have seen dogs beaten, I have seen dogs starve, I have seen dogs chained and hurt themselves jumping from the back of trucks. Please allow me to provide the BEST care your animal needs. I have been helping dogs and cats for the past 2 years and I would love to continue the only thing that keeps me at ease. My experience administering medication Yes I have 2 years of experience. We use everything from pill pockets, marshmallows, wet dog food, treats, peanut butter, and pilling (last possible outcome). Keep in mind that I work patiently with every dog and no matter how hard it is, I am determined!
Reviews
Probably the most knowledgeable and friendly dog person I've ever met. She just knows how to handle all types and sizes of dogs, always shows the love and compassion a dog needs and is always thinking safety first when there are multiple dogs around. I highly recommend April for your doggy needs, no task to big or small!!
I have known April for at least 6 years. April has a beautiful heart inside and out. She is energetic, polite, patient and genuinely just an overall good person in general. And she loves animals, dogs are her favorite, but she seems to get involved with any animal. I know she worked with a Veterinarian and at an animal boarding kennel. I honesty believe that April would be a good dog/pet sitter for anyone. You will not be disappointed.
