Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
April was so great! My husband and I were traveling to the area and wanted our pup to be close by. Dropping our girl off with a new sitter in a new area made me a little anxious but April quickly made that go away. She’s knowledgeable, confident, and took great care of our baby. Would definitely book with her again!
April was amazing! She was very communicative and loved that my Nellie girl got to hang out with other dogs. 💕
Amazing as always! Thank you for taking care of Loretta 💕
Very professional, super clean place and my dog is very happy 💕
This was our first time using April, and we had a great experience! She was very knowledgeable, communicative, and kept us updated throughout Zeus’s stay. We especially appreciated the insight and feedback she provided about Zeus, which gave us peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. April was also very flexible and accommodating with our last-minute weekend trip. We were very happy with the care she provided and would definitely feel comfortable having Zeus stay with her again. Thank you, April, for taking such great care of him!
April is great! She sent me updates through Loretta’s stay which helped me a lot as it was her first time away from home💕 April is also very communicative. Loretta loved her stay!

Schedule
I work from home so I am always available to my clients and their needs. I also have an apprentice to fill in if I need to go out of town. 24/7 care is always available. I'm available for all major holidays. I offer pick up and drop off for my clients that are leaving unexpectedly or who live far.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
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 :)
