Pet care experience

I love animals ❤️

I am a fun and energized person that loves animals! I’ve had everything from guinea pigs and bunnies to cats and dogs. The pets we sit for easily become apart of the family during their stay and I wouldn’t have it any other way. My favorite part of dog sitting is our daily walks and ending the day with pets and snuggles for movie time. Hopefully, you choose me to watch your pet! I will provide constant updates during their stay and can 100% say they will be loved ♥️. They will be in great hands.

Doggy Day Care • Aug 21, 2026

April was so kind, supportive, and understanding of my special senior!!! For context, my 14 year old dog was currently undergoing a med change due to doggy dementia so he needed extra supervision while we navigated this process. With the med change also came a lot of changes to his temperament/behavior. Despite being a super anxious, pretty reactive dog with a history of trauma (very slow to warm to strangers), April was so patient and empathetic to our situation and really went above and beyond to help us and our dog feel as comfortable as possible. I was happy to learn that my dog was even following her around a bit during his stay (which he doesn't even do with people he's met before)! I was so relieved when she sent her detailed text updates (with adorable doggy pics) and loved how proactive & transparent she was about making his next stay even more accomodating. We are definitely looking forward to booking with her again, 10/10 would recommend!

10/10 experience. The moment I met April I knew Gunther was in good hands. April sent daily photos and updates on how Gunther was doing while I was away.

We’re so grateful for the amazing care you gave our pup! It means so much knowing our dog is in good hands while we’re away. We’ll definitely book with you again!

We had such a great experience with our dog sitter! They were incredibly caring, attentive, and reliable, and we felt completely comfortable knowing our pup was in good hands. They kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog seemed happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we got back. We really appreciate how much love and attention they gave our pup and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!

Finn came home happy, relaxed, and tired. The dogs in her care all seemed to get along well. We appreciated the daily photos and messages from April. I highly recommend her!

Doggy Day Care • Aug 03, 2026

April watched our dog Yuki while we were out of town for the day and we would definitely have her dog sit for us again. She was recommended to us by our regular dog sitter, who was not available. We did a meet-and-greet a few days beforehand and April answered all our questions. She also asked us questions to make sure Yuki would be a good fit with the other dogs she would be watching. She was great with communication and very accommodating. Yuki looked happy and enthusiastic when I picked her up at the end of the day. We would definitely recommend April to others looking for a dog sitter.

Schedule

I currently work part-time from home so taking care of pets is easy to fit into my schedule. I’m flexible with my day so it’s easy for me to give potty breaks and daily walks.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard and a great neighborhood for dog walks. Animals are fine to be on the couch and furniture unless their owner says otherwise. Exercise is important to my personal health so daily walks with your pet are always a highlight to my day.

A typical day

Highly attentive to the pets we watch and I’m always showing them love or talking to them. I try to make things fun by going on walks and doing whatever it is, their owners, tell me that their pets enjoy most. Parks and trails are near my home so those are always a must.

Temperament and underlying health conditions are my biggest concern. Once I know that, I’m pretty well versed on reading dog and cat language. Eating habits of course need to be understood as well. One of the most important additional information is how a pet is motivated. Whether it be through treats or physical touch is a must know.
