Pet care experience

Hi! I'm April. I have been dog sitting & walking for 15+ years and cared for cats much longer. In the last couple of months I have met a few rabbits - I would prefer to watch them instead of Netflix. Dogs - I will bring my own poop bags for walks, leave fresh water for your best friend, and of course belly rubs are ALWAYS free! Extra time will be taken to ensure all dogs are comfortable before starting a walk. I strive for a beautiful picture on every service.

April takes such incredible care of our cat, Archie. He is clearly happy, and she very much cares about him. It leaves us feeling great while we our away that our little guy is well looked after. We've used April a few times, and we absolutely will keep using her! Thank you, April!

April is the best pet sitter around. She goes out of her way to make sure my cat is comfortable and happy while I’m away and is great with communication!
