Pet care experience

A home away from home for family.

My love for dogs is endless. The fun dogs, the shy dogs, dogs of all ages. A very quiet home with playtime if they want it or quiet time that they need. I provide lots of enrichment and a full secure yard where they can run and play, or just sun bathe. I have been dog sitting for years and I've also been a part of a dog rescue where I've seen everything. Each one of our family members deserves love and respect and a little extra when their family is on vacation. It should be a relaxing time for our canine family too! I pride myself on the reaction of my visitors when they come back over and over!!!

April is the most wonderful sitter I could ask for! She is treats Lilly as her own. I have used April countless times over the years and will continue to do so. I could not ask for someone better.

Been using April to dog-sit for the last 3 years. Whether it’s a week-long family vacation or a long weekend for sports, I always know my two dogs are very well taken care of. They have their own crate and room, she gives any meds/supplements needed, and makes sure they get plenty of play time. Both my large-breed dogs (pit bull and lab mix) absolutely LOVE going to her house. She treats and loves them like her own, sends me daily picture updates, and keeps me informed on their daily routines. I truly couldn’t recommend April more!

Schedule

My schedule allows for me to give your family members all the time and attention they could ask for in my home. I am home most of the time and spend as much time as possible with our furry family members.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced in yard, but no one is out in the yard unattended. I also have the ability to completely separate dogs with separate exits/entrances if your dog needs special care. All dogs are able to go on couches and dog beds throughout the house and if they need their own space, I have that capability as well. The separate room has it's own tv, couch and is where I spend most of my day working. If our visitor is friendly, they are able to keep us company throughout the house. Smoke-free home.

Pets

A typical day

I offer a ton of enrichment, whether it's toys, long lasting treats from home, some good music and cuddle, or just some relaxing chill time in the sun. I'm pretty good about speaking, "dog" and do my level best to give them what they need.

Is your dog crate trained? Potty trained? Do they chase critters in the yard? Are they protective over food, beds, or any of their belongings? Does your pup need leash walking? Tell me all. No detail is too small!
