Pet care experience

I have a unique blend of experience that enables me to give the highest quality of care. I've been a pet mom for 15 years to dogs, cats, and pigs. I also founded and run an animal rescue since 2020. In addition, I spent a year training at a wildlife rehab facility. Essentially, I have devoted my life to making sure animals feel loved and cared for. Your precious baby will be in the best hands!

April is wonderful! She has cared for our dog and 2 cats. She makes sure to get the little details that are important to you right. She has been so gracious when a last minute need is required. You can’t go wrong with April!

April’s compassion extends to every kind of animal. From dogs and cats to farm and wildlife. The nonprofit she founded and leads has rescued and found loving homes for hundreds of animals since its inception, and her own pets mean everything to her. Caring for animals isn’t just something she does as a feel-good hobby, it's her passion and what gets her out of bed in the morning. She is, without question, one of the most genuinely loving people I’ve ever met.

April is a wonderful animal caregiver!! She has a broad range of animal experiences from dogs to pigs to raccoons. She has watched my animals many times over the years and she always loves them as her own. April follows directions well in regards to animals medication and care. She will give your loved ones lots of love while they are under her supervision. I highly recommend April for your furry friends!
