Ratings and reviews
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!!!!!
April is amazing. She is a professional and dedicated dog lover. Her home is perfect and she has a big yard. We will definitely use again. Thank you April.
April is absolutely amazing! She was so accommodating with having my cat stay at her place! My cat, Rosie, had her own separate room that was cleaned often to keep away from the dogs and Rosie had such a fun time! April would send updates and videos whenever she was able to do so! She also would make sure that none of the dogs would be around my cat and would make a effort to spend time with Rosie and play with her and stick to her food schedule! I will definitely be rebooking with April for future cat sitting!
My puppy had so much fun during his stay. Received photos/videos throughout his stay. My puppy got to get well socialized with other pups during his boarding stay in a safe and supervised environment. Thank you! We’ll need to bring our pup again so he can have more fun.
April did a great job with my dog. She regularly updated me and followed the list of instructions I gave her lol. I am looking forward to working with her in the future. My dog enjoyed being with her too! Thank you April!!!
Our second trip out of town for 2 days leaving our two boys with April was another amazing time … videos and pictures she sent were on point. Our boys were alert when she called their names in the video to say hi we think that she is one of the best if not the best dog sitter out there… if you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babes, like if they’re home but away from home then April is the right person for the job… We will see you next time April. Thank you so much.

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 :)
