Pet care experience

Fur babies deserve all love&care.

I am a school social worker who is a mother of three fur babies! 2 cats and a 8 year old Pomeranian. I grew up around lots of dogs being raised on the islands. I learned that I absolutely love pets and definitely provide all my love! I am very passionate in providing great care and leaving the animals happy! I am very protective of my own and understand how one can feel leaving their fur babies with someone new. Going on walks is very fun for me and to add a dog makes it even better! I also want really want the opportunities to meet and play with new pets. Cuddling with your animals benefit me as much as it benefits them. :) I have done Rover consistently for 2 years now and have experience with a range of pets' needs such as anxious animals, giving medications, and taking care of elderly pets as well! Thank you for taking the time to read my bio! ❤️

April was amazing with our cat and gave us peace of mind while away. He is a shy guy so having him warm up to her quickly was reassuring. She sent us lots of photos, played with our cat, brushed him, and made sure food, water, and litter were always fresh. So grateful for her!

We have two cats, one of whom is aged and likely near the end of his life, and we had a fair amount of anxiety leaving him for the weekend. But April was wonderful. She came over before we left and spent a long time learning everything she needed to know about his care. She spent time sitting with him on each visit and sent us pictures and descriptions. Honestly I think he looked healthier when we returned than when we left! She gave us peace of mind. Would definitely hire her again.

My pups were fine and happy to see me when I returned. Nothing was amiss in my house but all the lights were on. (?) I didn't get a warm fuzzy feeling from April but the dogs seemed to like her.

When I arrived home my pups were happy and not stressed. I got updates and responses when needed and the photos recalled calmed my nerves while I was away. April is one you can trust with your pets.
