Hi! I'm April Rain(e), let's walk!

Pet care experience

Having been a pet owner all my life, I wanted to take my knowledge, love and care to a more professional level. I am experienced with caring for dogs, cats, some reptiles, horses and birds. Just as humans, animals have routines and environments that they love and in my experience my clients love that I can stay in their home where the pet is comfortable and feels safe. I enjoy going for a walk, hike, bike, jog and that does not exlude going out in the rain. I have experience with caring for a senior dog with separation anxiety who likes being snuggled to a home with five young cats and dogs that love playing and full of energy. I have two cats, one is a bengal named Banjo and the other is Doodle, a tux. While they, in true cat nature tolerate one another, they absolutely loved our Samoyed mix dog Gracie. I love details and lists, so knowing your pets routine, quirks, habits are key to great care. I have experience with administering daily medications, cleaning wounds and following specific dietary instructions. When taking on a new fur client, I have found it nice to meet in person with the pet and owners so that we get a better sense of one another. I have learned this gives us a chance to interact and make sure your pet is comfortable with me. However, sometimes life throws sudden moments and emergency help is needed and you want to find someone that you can trust to be there when needed. I come with high recommendations and always willing to provide references for you to speak to. I hope to work and care for your fur family member soon! April

April has been my house and pet sitter for the past year. I received many recommendations from neighbors on our neighborhood app when I was looking for a dog sitter. I set up a meet and greet with April and found her extremely professional, trustworthy, dependable and most importantly, compassionate and loving to my two Labrador Retrievers. My husband and I travel to Florida for the winter and we also travel extensively in our professional lives. We feel calm and secure knowing that April was watching over our dogs. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving animal care giver, as well as taking care of your home. Leaving town can be very stressful, but I am always comfortable that our pups (and our house) are in good hands when April is sitting. April sends updates on my pets through pictures and texts which is a great reassurance. She also takes them on walks and plays with them at our dog park. I enthusiastically recommend her pet sitting services.
