Experienced Positive Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

We have had dogs in our home until this year, and have experience with all kinds and sizes of dogs. We are very experienced with positive reinforcement and fear-free methods. We have an English Angora rabbit, so are experienced with rabbits and can provide drop-in service for small animals as well as dogs and cats.

April and her family were so fantastic! She was really good at communicating and sending pictures throughout the day! My dog felt comfortable and had a blast hanging out with everyone❤️

April and her family are the best!! We highly recommend and will definitely use her services again and again. She went above and beyond our expectations paying attention to Harley’s needs and making sure she was comfortable and most of all safe. April sent pictures and updates throughout the entire time which was absolutely wonderful. Harley was exhausted for a couple days once back home so we know April kept her entertained. This is our first time using this service and we are so grateful we found April!! She is truly a blessing. Top notch service!!

I highly recommend April. I have seen first hand how well April treats her animals. She has experience training and working with dogs. As well as caring for other animals. I would trust her to take care of any of mine. She is willing to learn what each animals individual needs are. I also appreciate how much patience and care she has for all the animals.

A typical day

We love working on training exercises with dogs—with positive reinforcement, it is a fun activity and facilitates a positive relationship. We would love to play with your dog and its favorite toy. We like to go for walks, and especially to allow dogs to enjoy “sniffy walks”—great for their brains and lead to happy dogs!
