Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets by following their usual routines as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive plenty of attention, and get exercise or playtime based on their needs. For dogs, this includes walks, outdoor time, and play, while for cats I focus on feeding, litter box care, play, and quiet companionship.

Information April M. would like to know about your pet

Before a booking, it’s helpful for me to know your pet’s daily routine, feeding schedule, and any special needs or medications. I also like to learn about their personality, energy level, and behavior around new people, other animals, or on walks. For dogs, details like leash manners, house training, and favorite activities are helpful, and for cats, information about litter box habits, play preferences, and hiding spots is important.

A typical day

For cats, I focus on interactive play with toys, gentle engagement, and quiet companionship for those who prefer a calmer approach. Whether it’s playtime, enrichment, or simply keeping them company, my goal is to make sure every pet feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for while having fun in a way that suits them best.

Trusted Pet Sitter for Happy Pets!

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. I have my own cat and have grown up with dogs ever since I was little. I also dog-sat for friends and neighbors throughout high school and college. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take pride in providing patient, loving, and reliable care so your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

April has always taken great care of my pets! She is extremely loving and caring and makes sure each animal gets the exact care it needs. Would definitely use her again.

I’ve known April for more than 20 years, and throughout that time she’s been a devoted cat mom to her sweet Hermie. Her love for animals has always been obvious. She has cared for my cats and my dog on several occasions, and she consistently makes sure they’re comfortable, safe, and well looked after. April is also one of the most organized people I know. She’s incredibly reliable, responsible, and always on top of her commitments and finances. I would confidently recommend April to care for your pets while you’re away — they’ll be in excellent hands.
