Love dogs, will travel!
Pet care experience
Hi there, lifetime pupper owner here! My last boy was a rescued American Akita named Major who passed at age 10 from lymphoma. When Major was first adopted it became obvious he had a difficult life. Separation anxiety and situational aggression made finding someone to watch him extremely difficult. I understand the struggle and I'm here to tell you IT'S OKAY... YOU DESERVE A BREAK! Go fishing, have a nice date night, take a weekend trip. It's important for your sanity. I adore large breeds and have zero issues accepting dogs that have special needs/strong personalities (but even the smallest pups need love too)! I am available for anything from quick potty breaks to fetch, jogs, long walks, trips to the park and house-sitting/sleepovers. Have some special requests? I'm pretty flexible, just ask. I'll do my best to ensure your beloved pets are healthy and happy until you return! :) I work remotely and travel the country for leisure. If you see my profile but think I might be out of your range, just send me a message. I spend most of my time between NY, DE, NC, and CA but would love to come visit wherever you call home!

Benji loves April! Can’t wait to book her for future doggie walks ☺️
Loved getting photos of my monsters! Thank you April.
April was so great with my Rottweiler! She was communicative and punctual. I totally trust her in my home and with my dog and will be using her services again soon! ☺
April is a very warm and loving person, with a big heart and a good eye for detail, which will prove invaluable in attending to the needs of your pet. She has watched both of my older dogs, one of which has some health issues and did an excellent job making sure they were well looked after and taken care of.

Information April M. would like to know about your pet
I have no breed/size/age restrictions. Things I will need to know about your dog include: Are they taking any medications? Do they have any allergies? Do they have any issues getting to know strangers? Are they food aggressive? Are they aggressive with other dogs/animals/children? I can work with quirks, I just need to know what to expect!
A typical day
If you would prefer we stay in your yard/neighborhood for walks that is fine! The idea is that you shouldn't have to worry about your pet while you're away, right?! But if you think a nice hike might be good, we can book a longer visit and go for a "r-i-d-e" to a local park (on leash only). Playtime is unavoidable. Dogs are just too much fun! Even if you only book a 30 min potty break, there will probably be a good chase around the living room or a short game of fetch to burn off a little energy and take their mind off how much they miss you for a few minutes. If you would like photo updates of your pup(s) during our visits, just let me know!
