Bleeding heart for rescues

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of pets since I was a young child. In my adult life, I’ve had my own and cared for them as the family members they are for 20 years. I have 3 dogs and 3 cats. So please make sure your pets are ok with both. We do not have a fenced yard so only dogs who are leashed trained are welcomed.

April and her family did a wonderful job taking care of our dog Makai. She and her family was very caring toward our dog, and was careful to introduce our dog to the other pets and the new surroundings. She was able to accommodate us at the last minute during a holiday weekend. April updated us with pictures and texts. We could tell that our dog was enjoying his time there. We would recommend April, and we would definitely use her services again.

April loves animals and takes great, loving care of those entrusted to her care. Animals are naturally drawn to her kindness and care. You won't go wrong hiring her.

Ive know April for years and she’s amazing with both dogs and cats. She is a very active person who enjoys walking with her two dogs. She is very patient and has a keen eye for detail.
