Safety, trust & environment

I think the best way to keep your pet safe, happy, and comfortable with a pet sitter is communication. Pets are so great at letting me know their expectations but if you can let me know their do's and don'ts ahead of time I can be one step ahead in keeping them and myself safe and comfortable in your home and on walks. Likewise, I will keep an open and honest line of communication with texts and pics!

Information April M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any specific info about how your dog is with strangers, young kids, and other dogs. Also if they have a tendency to eat anything they shouldn't or any cheeky behaviors give me a heads up so I can be mindful.

A typical day

I love going on walks around the neighborhood and checking out the local parks if that's something your pet enjoys. I'm equally happy lounging on the couch together and watching movies!

Pet care experience

I've been pet-sitting in NYC for 6+ years now and genuinely love the time I get to spend with them. I’m a fan of all animals and find joy in getting to know their unique personalities and quirks :) I have a calm and patient energy that helps shy pets feel at ease. I respect the routines and care that you provide for your little ones and want to emulate that for them so that they feel safe and comfortable even when you can't be at home. I have worked as a veterinary receptionist/assistant for 10 years in both NYC and Australia. I'm very comfortable with all pets and any health concerns or needs that they may have.

April is a kind and communicative pet sitter! She sends daily updates and checks in when she's not sure about something. Bobby can sometimes be stubborn but she is super patient and attentive. Thanks April!

April is the best for animals with extensive medical needs! She kept my old cat comfy, gave him his meds, and got him everything he needed all week. She’s super communicative and let me know how he was doing throughout the week. She’s the best!

April was such an easy pet sitter. She kept us updated on how Bobby was doing and sent through photos. She followed all our instructions and had no issues managing Bobby's medication and his old man stubbornness! I'd book her again in a heartbeat

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.
