Best Paw Forward Dog Care

Pet care experience

As a person who does not have children I can fully appreciate how important pets are in a person or family's life. I treat my fur babies as my children and will do the same with yours! I will watch your pets for a quick overnight stay or a long worry free week away! I have taken care of my own dogs from 8 weeks old until their golden years. I'm super playful, so your dog will have a ton of fun with me and never be bored!! But don't worry about getting too worked up my oldest dog trained me that sometimes you just need to relax and roll around and lay in the grass. I've helped one of my dogs recover from surgery on each of his knees and helped the other one through his severe anxiety. I'm careful to make sure that a proper introduction takes place between our pets to ensure everyone gets along great and can play well together! I'm available any day of the week. Rylee, Ruby, my husband Andy and myself look forward to meeting your special fur children! I vow to make sure they always keep their best paw forward! **Please allow a 30 minute window for all scheduled visit times** Thank you for your understanding! I have committed my days, full time to all dog care needs! I have very flexible availability from morning hours to late evenings and am willing to work with your schedules! I treat my pets like my children and give them daily walks, grooming, brushing, make them healthy meals and make sure they have all the love and attention they deserve! I have committed to pet care as my full-time career path and feel so lucky and blessed to be able to do this every day! I have a fenced in yard and two huskies that love dogs of all sizes and know how to treat other dogs that stay accordingly! If your pup is crate trained and/or sleeps in a crate I have small, medium and large crates available to accommodate pups of all sizes!

April is always so great with my dog. It’s such a relief to know he’s in good hands while I’m away. Cant recommend her enough!

April was great with my dog! She is very friendly, and my dog warmed up to her right away! She gave me lots of updates, which is always appreciated while I’m away. I look forward to booking with April in the future!

I’m so glad I found April! She is the nicest person and so easy to talk to. She is great with our two dogs, Stella and Juno. She has made these two rescue dogs feel so comfortable and at ease when she walks them. She is always so detailed in her reports cards she sends. She is always on time and great at communicating.

Information April O. would like to know about your pet

Is the dog pet and child friendly on walks? Does your dog have any special physical or emotional needs? How often does your pet need grooming? How often are they fed and how much each meal? Where does your pup sleep?

A typical day

We will sniff new smells on our daily walks around the neighborhood! Love to play with toys whether it's throwing and fetching a ball back and forth in our spacious fenced in backyard or simply holding a bone while they chew! Love teaching new tricks, challenging your dog and giving praise when it's earned and love when it's needed! My goal is to always make sure that I provide a loving, safe, stress free environment for your doggo! I can honestly attest that your pup will have a fun-loving stay!
