experienced caretaker/ animal lover

Pet care experience

Hello! I’m an experienced caretaker living in the Milwaukee area with now open availability! I’ve been working with animals of all kinds for 5+ years and would love to add new clients to my list 😊 I have worked 4 years at a vet clinic, and an additional year at a pet pharmacy. I also pet sit for established clients on the side, but most recently expanded my hours! I would love to open my heart up to your furbabies offer the best care possible ❤️ I have experience working with all types of pets, young and old, as well as special needs pets. Breed bias is not in my vocabulary! I look forward to meeting you and your furry loved ones! 🐶 🐱 🐹 🐦 🐰

I met April at Small Animal Hospital when she was the vet technician for my dog Sharky's annual appointment. Sharky struggles with terrible anxiety and I am always nervous about taking him to the vet, but when he met April, his anxiety had completely gone away! She has an amazing way with animals and she has been dog sitting for my family including overnights for the last 2 years. This woman is an angel and I give my highest recommendation for her as a part of the Rover team!

April has been working with animals for many years and is a fantastic dog sitter. She has a lot of love for all animals and is a reliable worker. Her previous work at a veterinary clinic also makes her a fantastic choice.

April is an amazing animal caretaker and so easy to work with! I left the country for a month and needed someone to watch my two cats. April was so caring and attentive when I told her their normal feeding routines and litter box schedule, it also helps that she has many years under her belt working at a vet clinic. She took great care of them! I would trust her with my cats any day!

April is the best! Beyond being amazing with my pups, she also has 5+ years of professional experience working with animals as a vet tech and vet pharmacist. When my dog ate a bee on a walk, April knew exactly what to do and was able to immediately treat my baby! I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my pets. ❤️
