Home full time - All dogs welcome!

Pet care experience

I am a single mom with 2 kids. Our family loves dogs and we enjoy meeting new furry friends! I know how much pet owners love their babies and that is why I ensure that all of them feel loved and cared for, and why you will recieve tons of updates and photos throughout their stay! Leaving your dog with us means lots of play time, long walks, and cuddles for them - and peace of mind for you! I have had family dogs throughout my life and have been consistantly taking care of my own dogs for the last 5 years. I have nursed many sick dogs back to health and am comfortable administering medication and taking care of older dogs as well. We currently have 1 small female chihuahua who, while a bit yappy, warms up pretty quickly and has always gotten along well with other dogs, and we have 1 fenale chihuahua, collie mix. We take our dogs on 2 long walks daily and take them for restroom breaks every 2 hours. All animals (and children) will be fully supervised the entire duration of their stay to ensure the safety of everyone involved. The only exceptions being 0-2 hour periods for grocery shopping and errands. If we leave the house for any reason all animals are separated. I have a pretty open availability aside from a part time job that takes up a day or two a week. If you don't see a day available, it is likely that there is only a few hour period I am unavailable during which time I have a dog-loving sitter at the house so be sure to send me a message. I am sure we can work something out! I am also comfortable following any routines your dog is used to or rules that are set in your home. Feel free to message me about any questions or concerns you may have. I am extremely flexible and would love to work with you and your fur-babies. I look forward to hearing from you!

April and her family is very welcoming and understanding. This is my first time using Rover. I was very pleased with the updates and pictures. She informed me when My dog was eating other dogs food lol to check with me If it was okay. I recommend April And hope to use her again next time I need a sitter. I was flying back home and my flight was delayed And she was nice to let one of my friends pick up my dog to avoid An additional night stay. Thank you April. I really appreciate your attention to detail And welcome my dog as if he was your own.

Glad I was able to find April in such a rushed last minute need. She was sweet and available, and hospitable. Our Martha loved her stay and we know she enjoyed having kids and another pup to pay with. I'll use April from now on.

Thanks April for a great long-term boarding. 5 stars! We chose April because of proximity and the fact she only watches one dog at a time. We received photos throughout and she treated our dog like a member of the family. April did frequent walks and was open and honest about everything throughout. We would not hesitate to book with April again.

April is a very sweet and compassionate person. She has so much love for everyone and everything, especially animals. She takes amazing care of her own pets and treats everyone else's like family. I know their health and happiness are always her top priority.

Information April R. would like to know about your pet

Before keeping your dog it is beneficial to know: -Is your dog good with small children? -Is he/she good with other dogs? -Is he/she neutered/spayed? -Is he/she up to date on the vaccines and flea preventative? Knowing these things in advance helps me better prepare for when I have your dog.

A typical day

Staying with us means your doggo will have tons of love and play time among 2 adults, 2 children, and 2 fellow dogs! They will have regular (0-2 hour) potty breaks and enjoy long 30 minute walks at least twice a day around the neighborhood and occasional park visits!
