Diabetes friendly one dog sitter.

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is April and I love doggies like children! I live in Symphony Park/Arts District of Downtown Las Vegas with my wife, Jess. I work for the City Government and my wife Jess works from home as Human Resources for a company located out of state. Thus, someone will always be with your pup. We are conveniently located downtown, close to all of the hotels on Fremont Street, and can pick up your pup if needed. Lastly, we specialize in diabetic dog care, as we ourselves own a diabetic dog on an insulin regimen. Therefore, you can rest assured your dog will not accidentally get into food, nor have any questions as to whether we understand the injection process. About me: Experienced dog sitter of small-medium sized dogs. When you book with me, you get both myself and my wife as sitters for your sweet pup. W are very friendly and can provide references. Administration of specific diets and medications is not a problem. We can walk as little or long as you or your pet prefers. I am the owner of two (a brother and sister) spoiled Brussels griffons, aged both at 10 yrs old. I have dog sat for many across the country, California to DC. As a pet owner myself, I understand when life happens and the sudden, sometimes unexpected need for loving services from someone who cherishes your pet as their own. I am willing to accommodate special requests and am doggy CPR certified. Additionally, please know that when you stay with this sitter, all funds go toward buying a forever home of our own and paying off student loans!

April is a wonderful and caring person to leave your pet with. I had daily updates of my puppy’s activities and lots of photos as well. April’s dogs loved having my dog Charlie and helped her to feel welcome in their home. I would highly recommend April to look after your pet. April is my first choice for looking after my dog Charlie.

April and Jess were amazing with my little guy. So lucky to have found them. We were able to relax and enjoy ourselves in the city knowing Gizmo was in loving, capable hands. Their 2 dogs seemed to treat him gently as well. I highly recommend them to care for your pet and will definitely have Giz stay with them again when we come back to visit!! ?

I work from home, so when I see a pup has a need, they do not wait and are taken out when it is signaled!
