Pet care experience

Genuine animal lover and homebody!

I have had four spoiled Great Danes as my children in the past 22 years, so I do specialize in Great Danes if you have one or two...or three 😁, but I'm great with all dogs and love all breeds of dogs. I just love all animals in general! Me and my roommate/business partner have had 3 litters of Great Danes, so I have plenty of puppy training experience. As my fur babies have become seniors, I have had the pleasure of gently caring for them when their legs and bones are no longer youthful. My fur children are no longer with us, but would love to be around the pure angelic energy and silliness again! Find comfort in knowing your fur baby is safe, cared for and loved while you're away or have obligations that require day care or boarding. At this time, I’m only hosting one dog and client at a time, but if you are a client that has two dogs that need boarding, I may be able to make an exception.

This was my third time booking with April, and she continues to exceed expectations. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared for Appa like he was her own. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and had complete peace of mind while I was away. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive dog sitter.

April is great! We had our golden retriever stay with April for two days while we enjoyed a concert at the Sphere. Though not having met April beforehand, both we and our pet were instantly charmed by April’s very sincere soft and welcoming personality. Our pet loved April! We wholeheartedly recommend April!

April provided a calm & safe environment for my senior boy - exactly what he needed 🙂 She made sure he got his medicine & sent me updates 💜

April was so good with my pup Mina! Mina has some health issues and has separation anxiety, but April treated her so well and made sure she was ok! I love the daily updates too. It really calmed my nerves on my trip to know Mina was in such great care. This was my first time using Rover & having someone I didn’t know personally watch my dog, but April made me feel so at ease! Thank you so much :)

April was super commutative and took good care of our 11 year old Belgian Malinois. Would definitely use her again.

April took great care of my dog. He is nervous around many people, but he took to April very quickly. Would not hesitate to book with April again.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a big fenced yard, toys, and cozy home. My big fenced yard is great for as many supervised potty breaks they need, play time or just soaking up the sun. There is also a lovely grassy park that is within walking distance and a dog park that is a two minute drive from my house that I can take your fur babies to for some social fun for the social butterfly dogs. Other than that, we can watch movies, play and relax together :) Lot's of pettinz and scritchez are mandatory!

A typical day

We have a lovely, grassy park that is about 10 minutes walking distance from our home. We also have a huge dog park that is 2 minutes driving distance from our home where the social butterflies can run free safely and socialize with other dogs.

Let me know if your dog barks a lot, what kind of behaviors/personalities they have (anxieties, energetic, relaxed, etc.) has special needs, what food is allowed, medicine administration, how long or frequent they need walked and if they get along with other dogs. If they don't get along with other dogs, i'll need to make sure that they will be the only pet i'm sitting for their stay, as well as not taking them to a dog park.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
