Pawsitive Vibes & Daily Walks

My name is April I am a 20 year old college student. Back home I have my partner in crime, a 6 year old pug named Reign. Being in the city my love for our 4 legged friends has grown tremendously. I am excited to meet more pups and walk them around the city! Back home I have taught reign how to sit, stay, spin, leave it, lay down and more. If your dream is to let your pup run free while at work or learn to be crate trained I am your girl!!

Safety, trust & environment

Back home I let my pug out as soon as we wake up, as she’s outside I prepare her breakfast and get a fresh bowl of water for her. She spends her time watching me get ready after she eats and will occasionally bring a toy over, I typically play with her for 5-10 minutes when she brings a toy over and then continue back to what ever task I was doing. She is typically let out 4-5 times a day and roams in the backyard for roughly 10-15 mins at a time. If we are leaving the house and she is allowed in the building/destination she will join us. When she is not able to go she does go in her crate after she’s been let out to use the restroom. She joins every family vacation and has no problem taking a dip in the pool/ocean. For baths she is bathe at home. For exercise she goes on walks about 4 times a week and plays in the yard supervised the other days. As I look to help others with their 4 legged best friends I look to love them as they are my own and treat them with the uppermost respect and care.

April was great and very responsible. I felt totally at ease letting her drop in and watch my dog.

April is awesome! I really appreciated the updates and photos she sent. She also took my pup Layla to her favorite park :) I came home to a happy pup, and it was clear she was well taken care of. Will absolutely book with April again and highly recommend anyone looking for a caring and communicative Rover sitter!

My sister, April, has the biggest heart for both humans and their furry friends. Since our childhood, she has consistently poured her efforts and kindness for others, but especially for animals. April is exceptional! She not only follows the duties and obligations required for caring for our extended family members, but she also ensures that they are cherished as family members. At any housewarming, get-together, or event, pets of the host will naturally gravitate towards April's energy. Her soul is made of genuine adoration and compassion and I believe that animals can sense that. She is always greeted by wagging tails and fuzzy hugs from any four-legged friend. It is no doubt that she has a calling and natural affinity for pets. In parks, dogs often stop in their tracks to connect with her bubbly sincere personality. April makes it a point to always engage with pets and people alike, showing them both high regards of respect and commitment. April has the compassion, empathy for all creatures and the responsibility of a solider. She no doubt, will always put her duties to others above selfish interests. April is more than responsible and holds every encounter with animals as her personal duty. She is incredibly dependable and dedicated, her admiration for pets and their needs is unwavering. April Pettigrew is more than capable for being a member of Rover and a valuable addition to this community. Please call me personally should you have any questions. (210)992-5332.

I have had the privilege of knowing April in several capacities. Not only is she a close friend, but she is also my neo in the National Society of Pershing Rifles, and I have worked with her through Army ROTC, where I have watched her grow into a dedicated leader who consistently encourages others to be their best. April is highly involved in her community through campus organizations, volunteer work, and service activities. As a dog owner myself, I have trusted her with my miniature poodle on multiple occasions, and she has always cared for him as if he were her own. I have never had any concerns about his safety, well-being, or happiness while in her care. April is patient, responsible, and genuinely loves animals. She is also a devoted owner to her own pug, whom she absolutely adores. Her compassion and natural connection with animals are evident in the way she interacts with them. I would wholeheartedly recommend April to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving, and dependable pet caregiver.

Schedule

As a college student I have built my own schedule for classes. The only exception is my 6am class for rotc, I am constantly working out and looking for a new 4 legged partner to join me on strolls, walks, and even runs! My evenings are spent taking a walk around the neighborhood or exploring the city. I love outdoors and would love to take your dog along the journey.
