April was great! Our dogs were well taken care of, and she kept us connected by sending photos of our pups throughout her stay.

She took great care of our dog and provided thoughtful updates. We especially appreciated that she came back the day we returned home before our flight landed to make sure our dog got outside and had everything she needed.

We are thankful to be safely back to our home and dog after a short trip away so soon after being gone the better part of a week for our daughter's wedding. April did not disappoint! We returned to a happy dog and a tidy home! We were worried about delays at the airports and April was willing to come to the rescue if it was needed. Thank you, April!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a pet-friendly apartment that is clean, safe, and comfortable, with plenty of space for relaxation and play. I’m happy to provide regular walks, exercise, and lots of attention to ensure your dog feels at home and well cared for.

A typical day

Our time together includes enjoyable walks suited to your dog’s age and energy level, engaging playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. Whether your pup loves long strolls, gentle sniff walks, games of fetch, or just relaxing companionship, I tailor activities to their needs. I also provide regular potty breaks, fresh water, and a calm environment for rest. My goal is to give your dog a fun, secure, and enriching experience while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, reliable hands.

Before I spend time with your pup, I love to learn a few things to make sure they’re comfortable and happy 😊 • What’s their usual routine for meals, walks, and potty breaks? • How’s their energy level and what do they enjoy most? • Any medical needs, medications, or allergies I should know about? • Are there any quirks, fears, or leash behaviors I should be aware of? • How do they do with other dogs and new people? • Do they know any commands or have house rules I should follow? • Anything else that helps your pup feel safe and loved?
