Pet care experience

Animals are our family too

I’ve spent my entire life having dogs and cats, spent time In college caring for other peoples pets and after college helping out friends and family. I have 2 dogs of my own who are my fur babies and I believe animals are truly a gift and an extension of our families. I’m also a single mom and teaching my 7 year old how to care for all pets and how to earn extra income. Many times he will come with me to my pet sitting bookings if this is ok with the owners. I will always ask beforehand but please let me know if you’re not comfortable with this. He is great with animals and very respectful. Just teaching him the essence of working and helping others.

Safety, trust & environment

At this time I only offer visits at a clients home. I will come in, spend time playing, loving, feeding your pet, allow them time to use the bathroom and walk them when requested. I can administer medication and have years of personal experience doing so with my previous pet and clients.

April was wonderful! Attentive, communicative, and friendly. She cared for my cat and dog while we were out of town. I would recommend her to anyone and use her in the future! Thanks April!!

April’s did an amazing job taking care of our pets while we were on vacation. Our cats loved her and we were always up-to-date about what’s happening during the visits thanks to the beautiful Picts. Even though our cats are messy, she cleaned the room thoroughly, refilled the water and food when needed.

I can’t say enough great things about April and her son. We truly could not have asked for a better sitter to watch our cats. April was not only attentive and caring but went above and beyond every visit to care and play with our 2 bengal cats. She sent plenty of picture updates every visit which made us so happy. She was even able to get our shy cat to come out and play. Both cats loved playing with her son, which was heart warming. She did a great job feeding the cats, maintaining the liter boxes and cleaning up after our messy little ones. Not only did she care for the cats but she made sure the house was okay durning the recent cold front. We could not thank her and her son enough and they will definitely be our go to sitters in the future.

We are so glad we found April on Rover. She was so loving and caring towards our fur babies (three cats) and it gave us peace of mind knowing that they were receiving attention during our time away from home. She ensured they had plenty of food in their bowls, kept the water bowls clean, maintained the litter boxes and the space around the litter boxes. The added bonus, she brought in our Amazon packages. We are very happy with the service April provided and we will definitely have her care for our babies again.
