Fun dog lover with excellent care

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is April and I'm 37 years old. I am a mother of 3. Age 13, 8, and 3. They too love animals just as much as I do! I started my career with dogs at the age of 15 at a Kennel. After I moved on to Petco to be come a dog groomer and just kept progressing there. Now I am a dog bather at Petsmart. Building myself back up again. My goal with Rover is just to continue to do what I love to do. Animals in General have always been my life since i was a little girl and I cannot see me doing anything other than working with animals. Thank you for taking the time out to get to know me and I hope to see you soon!

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.
