Pet care experience

I started working in the animal care industry at 15 as a kennel technician at a vets office, I went to college and became a certified veterinary technician. I have been dog sitting and pet sitting for 10 plus years.

April was fantastic! She took great care of our two dogs for the weekend. She was also very helpful—as this was our first time using Rover. She’s so caring and knowledgeable about dogs. We are grateful to have found her! We will definitely be using April’s sitting services again soon!

April and her husband were excellent care takers for our fur children. My only worry is that my dogs won’t want to come home because it looked like they had so much fun at the farm! April knew I was worried about boarding my dogs for the first time, but she knew how to handle the situation! She knows pets very well and took the best care of our dogs. She went above and beyond by sending me pictures and updates of how the dogs are doing. We will definitely be using her services again and we highly recommend that you do too! You can tell this couple really loves animals and that makes all of the difference in the world.

April was amazing with our two babies. Ally is about 3 and Mattie is 5 months. No doubt they were well kept! Her fenced yard allowed them to run and play which is their favorite thing to do. April kept in daily contact with updates and photos! Definitely recommend her services! I’ll be happy to use her again. Thank you April!
