Pet care experience
My first job 15 years ago was at a small animal shelter -poop scooping/dogwalking/adoption screening. I've been pet sitting a bull mastiff/pit bull going on 6 years now. I enjoy riding my bike and walking around the city but I also have a car. I recently gave up one of my two jobs and plan on spending more of my time doing things I enjoy! I know all the good spots for dog fun in the city but I have a soft spot for senior and just quiet/chill dogs that like to lay low. Also love love hanging out with cats! Have experience giving meds and applying ointments and also care of dermatological issues I don't have a set work schedule and can be flexible.
Reviews
There is no one I trust with my dogs more than April! She is a true dog lover- compassionate and attentive. She also really understands dogs. One of my dogs is difficult around other animals and strangers. I have to be really careful when walking him. April handles him like a pro. She knows what to do when out on a walk, like when to cross the street to avoid certain situations. She is my go to dog sitter and dog walker. I recommend her whole-heartedly!
April is a genuine, hardworking person with a huge heart for animals. We were housemates for at least two years, with cats and a dog in the house. I've never seen her meet an animal she didn't have an incredible rapport with. You'll also never have to worry about flakiness with this woman. She'll be there on time, every time. Contact her. Your pets will thank you.
April has helped me care for my two dogs for over five years now. She is brilliantly intuitive with them, it's like she speaks their language. She has an amazing memory for details and when she brings them treats, she always remembers new dietary issues and what not to bring them. I have a very special needs dog and April has a very special bond with him; while I was away for two weeks, April soaked his paws and administered special skin treatments he needed. It was an intense routine and I'm super lucky I could count on her to be there for him.
