I recently had my first experience boarding my dogs over night and I couldn’t be more pleased! From the moment I dropped them off April made me feel at ease. She offered a walkthrough of her home which was immaculate and very dog-friendly. Her experience with dogs was evident and it reassured me, especially since one of my dogs is a chihuahua mix. I felt confident leaving my furry babies in her care. When I picked them up, both of my dogs looked incredibly happy and seemed like they had a wonderful time. I will definitely be booking with her again! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a loving and reliable dog sitter! 🐾❤️

April is so good with my girls. They love her pool for sure. Sadie is high maintenance with her meds and finicky eating, April always has it handled.

My older dog did very well with April. She was responsive and professional. She shared his progress and expressed other concerns she had with my dog during his stay. The setup for the animals is hands down the best I've seen. I am happy with his care and would recommend April if you're looking for a place for your dog to visit for a day or stay over night.

April was awesome!!! We needed to leave the country for two and a half weeks and our dog had never stayed with anyone overnight! April has the perfect home for taking care of our dog!!! She kept us updated with photos, emails and videos!!! Our trip was made so much better because of her care for our precious dog!!!!!

Safety, trust & environment

My backyard is all brick wall, fenced in. I have artificial turf for the dogs and a shallow pool for them during the summer. There are often training puppies here and my 2 dogs so your dog won't be alone. If solitude is needed, I can accommodate. All dogs sleep in crates at night to ensure safety during the night, I can make exceptions if necessary. Doggie door is available for inside and outside time. All time here is monitored. I follow all instructions for drop in visits in the clients home.

Pets

A typical day

I always start my day with a walk with the dogs. It's important to drain energy to maintain a calm environment. There is a mini pool for them to play in or they can simply come through the doggie door and lounge around inside. There's turf outside for them to rough house amongst each other on and plenty of room for them to run :)

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs

Everyone fills out a pet profile for each pet in my home at drop off so I'm aware of any health or behavioral issues upon arrival.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
