About April M.

Dog skills
Information April M. would like to know about your pet
Please be sure and write any special instructions: medicines, allergic reactions, vet name/number, etc. I would also like the instructions to include what your canine family member likes and dislikes, and what kind of petting they prefer/do they like energetic play or just some gentle petting. I am a big believer in the power of loving and appropriate touching, so your darling pet will be receiving a TON of petting! (if they want that)
A typical day
Dogs are very spoiled at my apartment complex - it features a large dog park with bathing area, lots of rocks to climb upon and the wooded area. We also have many wooded walking trails to explore. Our front office has dog treats that are given to those who visit them; they love canine visitors! My apartment has comfortable sofas, a large ottoman and two bedrooms to explore. I love being outside, so we would have several walks on our agenda. I am excited and happy to think about meeting you and your precious doggie! My nature is to move slowly at first with an animal. (both emotionally and physically)... I believe in focusing on the basic foundation of emotional and physical safety, and then "listening" to the dog about what they want and need. I am a very tactile-influenced person, so I will be touching them quite a lot if possible.

Loving Attitude/Lots of Experience
Pet care experience
Greetings from a dog-lover who appreciates all kinds of breeds and needs! I've had dogs and cats for many years and am grateful for the experiences we've shared together. I pride myself on providing excellent and dependable care for your pets when their owners are away. My nature tends toward the quieter side of things, but sometimes I love being playful and boisterous! I've learned to allow animals the freedom to approach me in their own way - and show respect by not "forcing" them to instantly approve of me. Along with this approach is my insistence on good manners. Consistency of care is the first priority for me - always. It seems obvious, but I feel it should be mentioned here. Safety and good care of all animals is my foundation. My apartment is always smoke-free, alcohol-free and full of good vibes!!! Please reach out to me if you think I'd be a good fit. I'm very excited to meet you and your dog!
Reviews
April took such good care of Chloe during all her check ins and sent me lots of pictures and detailed updates. Chloe is elderly and needs extra care at April really delivers on that. I’d love for April to take care of Chloe anytime!
April is fantastic with my two poodles! Very communicative on plans and thoughtful to evolving their needs to accommodate heat or how they are feeling. She clearly loves and understands animals well. I’ll definitely be working with April again!
April went above and beyond to take care of my dog while we were out of town and the air conditioner in our home went out. 15/10! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
April was fabulous! I felt very at ease with her staying at my home and watching my sweet pepper. She was sending many updates and photos and I think pepper had great company! They went on many walks too. I would definitely hire April again!
