Pet care experience
Dogs, Cats, Fish, Pigs, All Pets!
Hello! Don't let my profile location deter you from reaching out, I have a very wide service area. I am available to care for all of your pets while you're away! Please contact me for a quote if you have a pet you'd like me to care for other than a dog or cat (submit it as a dog/cat request) ☺️ New to Rover? I have a discount code for you if you book your first service with me! I am available for night and evening drop-ins to feed and play with your pets. Do you work nights and hate leaving your babies alone? Are you going to a fancy dinner and want to make sure your pets are okay when you're gone? I can come by and give you some peace of mind. I can also care for other pets, including lizards, fish, hamsters, rabbits, etc. I am a huge animal lover. I adopted a senior dog years ago and he was the best dog ever, up until his very last day in December, 2023. Our household has water snails, fish, three cats, a dog, and a pig! I have experience with rabbits and hamsters and other small pets, and I have experience with special needs animals. My longest boarding to date was 5 months for a senior cat with Cerebellar hypoplasia.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
April was a great sitter and our cat was very happy. She was a wonderful communicator and sent pictures through the stay.

April was a fantastic dog and cat sitter to our four pets and did a great job looking after our house and resident houseplants when we were away for a week and took in our mail and packages. She gave my dog Lady her heart medication as well. She is also very responsive! I would definitely seek out April again for future trips and would recommend her to others!




What a great lover of the Animal Kingdom with intelligence and the perfect touch to be cared and trusted taking her responsibilities as part of her life, you can’t go wrong with a person of this value

Wow! My experience with April was PHENOMENAL! Blessed that she lives in my neighborhood although I’m sure even if she didn’t she would have helped none the less :) I booked her to come let me dog out at dinner time as hubby and I were gonna be gone for an extended amount of time. But when I noticed my pup on our doggy cam acting weird I messaged April and she came over immediately! Turns out my boy did not have diarrhea or pain rather likely anxiety when his mom & dad weren’t home at their regular schedule 😭 So she comforted him both visits and also gave him a pain/anxiety pill to take the edge off. We were so grateful to have her care for our almost 9 year old Great Dane and also grateful she feels more like a friend to us as well. Double bonus! Book April! You won’t be disappointed. She loves animals. ALL animals 💛

April was so lovely! She provided safe and nurturing care for my little kitten and even on very short notice. Highly recommend booking with her for your fur baby needs 🥰
Extremely friendly and accommodating to me and my needs with gorgeous helped me find another when she became unavailable and also even helped deliver

Schedule
My schedule recently changed, so I am available on most days for drop-ins and walks. I also offer boarding, house sitting, and daycare. We are a very animal friendly household.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard and a kiddie pool so your doggos can play and keep cool! My piggy will be there to keep your baby company and I have a 14 year old kid who loves to snuggle and play with all your pets! Cats will enjoy their own space so they can feel comfortable ☺️ !!!Important Notes!!!: I love watching and caring for your snuggle bug(s)! However, I have to sleep too. If you can't pick up your pet before 7pm, one additional day of boarding or doggy daycare will be added to your booking. An additional fee will be added for dogs over 40 pounds. Dogs under 1 year and/or "bully breeds" will be accepted on a case-by-case basis. By booking with me, you acknowledge that if your puppo damages property, you are responsible for any cost of repairs or replacement. When damage occurs, it is usually caused by pets that do not crate or have high anxiety when left alone for even short periods. My policy on dog breeds and sizes is in place because of two separate incidents. First, I lost a beloved pet to a boarded Rover doggo on Christmas morning, 2020. Having to put my little pig Minnie in the freezer after being attacked on Christmas morning was a horribly traumatic experience. In June 2023 I was attacked by a 110lb Rover dog at a meet and greet and had to go to the hospital. If the owner had not been present, I would have been killed. These are incidents that I will not risk repeating. Thank you so much for understanding!
Pets
A typical day
If your pet stays here they will be exhausted by the end of the day from playing with toys and other pets. I spoil your babies and give them lots of love, attention, and treats.
