Your Pet's Second Best Friend

Hello and a warm welcome! As a lifelong pet owner myself, I understand that your pets are not just animals—they are loyal companions and cherished members of your family. ​With over 16 years of experience in reliable pet care, I am committed to providing your furry friends with love, attention, and total peace of mind. From walks and feeding routines to playtime and cuddles, I personalize my care to meet the specific needs of your home and pets. ​I offer flexible dog walks, drop-in visits, and in-home house sitting at your place. I also have a friendly, gentle 2-year-old pug named Milo! For house-sitting stays, Milo is open to tagging along if your dog enjoys having a social playmate (pending a successful Meet & Greet, of course). ​Thank you for considering me to care for your pets—I can't wait to become their second best friend! Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions.

My dog Grizzly is new to our house hold and I needed a break from his puppyness. April made me feel comfortable about leaving my dog there with her. It helps that she also watches my sister dog as well! Grizzly was comfortable from the get go from the pictured April sent me. I highly recommend her!

April did a wonderful job watching our 2 cats. Our home was left exactly as we left it and my cats were both very happy. She also sent several photos after each daily check-in, which was a wonderful addition to the visits.

April was amazing babysitting our Corgi Miso. She updated pictures throughout the time gone and kept up with his energy. I was VERY impressed. We ran a little late and so of course provided a much deserved tip and was very understanding! She delivered everything we wanted in a dog sitter.

Excellent service. Jenny was well cared for and I think my apartment was cleaner than I left it. Thanks!

April was so good with max. We left him for one day at home with April. She took him out, played with him, fed him timely. When we came back I can tell max had really good time. Would highly recommend April.
