About April R.

Communication

100% response rate
Usually responds in under an hour

Dog skills

3 years of experience

Safety, trust & environment

It very much depends on each specific dog and their needs. I have cared for dogs that need to be crated while I leave the house and dogs that are able to have free range of the house. I work great with dogs that love to play and have energy, but I have also cared for dogs that are nervous and may need some space and trust building. Depending on the temperament and size of the dog I may offer in home boarding (I do have a well tempered male shih tzu at home)

Information April R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know any information that you feel is necessary for me to know about your pet. This includes feeding and potty schedule and if they need medication or not. I also like to know whatever weird quirks or things that may help me along the way!

A typical day

Again it depends on the dog and their own specific needs. I am willing to give walks and play, or just chill out if that’s what they need instead.

April is fantastic! Our Bailey loves her and I feel so comfortable leaving town knowing April is taking wonderful care of her. She sends me pictures and text updates. She is very clean and tidy. I highly highly recommend her.
