Comfy Home on Quiet Cul-De-Sac
Pet care experience
We are professionals that reside on a quiet street with our two dogs, Eli a 9 y/o Dachshund and Penny Lane, a 6 y/o Beagle/Rat Terrier mix. Before our dogs came to live with us, we often watched dogs for our friends and family when they had to travel or went on vacation. We hadn't done it in a while when we kept our friends' older Rat Terrier/Chihuahua mix for a week. The three dogs had so much fun, we decided to open our home up to others looking for a friendly, loving environment for their pets when the need arises. My husband works from home and I have a flexible schedule working for a small experiential marketing agency about 20 minutes away. We're lucky, we're able to take our dogs to the majority of the places we travel and we know that not all pet owners have that same ability. We would love to extend our home to help those who have to leave their pets behind, but don't want to board them in a facility. While we love all dogs, we find that our two get along best with other small and medium sized dogs that have been socialized. We have a small unfenced, backyard and a pet-friendly neighborhood with the perfect loop for walks. We would ask that whenever possible, owners looking for Doggy Daycare please provide 48 hours advance notice. This will allow us to ensure our schedules are coordinated.
Reviews
This was the first time we left our furbaby for an entire week but I know how much Zoe loves staying at April’s so we weren’t worried at all. We got pictures throughout her stay and she had so much fun with the other pups! I love that Zo has a home away from home with April, Dave, Penny, and Eli.
April is the best! Zoe loves sleepovers at her house. We couldn’t ask for a better home away from home.
April couldn’t have been more wonderful to our puppy Kai. April was loving and, patient to our 9 month old puppy. He can be mischievous at times and April always had an eye on him. He loved being there with her two dogs, he became one of the family. I looked forward to my daily email and photos telling me all about Kais day. It really put my mind at ease. Thank you April!!
Zoe loves staying with April and her fur babies Eli and Penny. My husband and I never have a stress we always know she’s in good hands and happy.

Information April M. would like to know about your pet
Please let us know about your usual routines, feeding times, treats, sensitivities and level of socialization. This will help us plan how to best introduce your dog to ours. While we love all dogs, we do find that Penny Lane and Eli get along best with other small to medium sized dogs that have been socialized.
A typical day
We like to let the dogs play together and become familiar with each other. Walking them all into the house together seems to help our visitors understand that they are welcome. We will always ask you what your routine is at home and do our very best to match it. We have two comfy dog beds and pets are welcome on the sofa. Someone will be at home with them during the day, my Husband works from home, and will not be left alone longer than an hour or two at the most. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly; set off of the busy main street and perfect for walks. Our schedules are flexible, but same day requests for Doggy Day care during the week can be difficult to accommodate without notice. We kindly ask that you book 1-2 days in advance whenever possible. We are aware that emergencies arise and we will always do whatever we can to help you, but please understand we cannot guarantee last minute availability.
