Pet care experience

Pet owner away? We walk sit & stay

Hello! I am a pet loving stay at home mom with one sweet toddler! I love to be home but I also love to be active and outdoors. I get out of the house several times a day and would love your pet to come along but I’m never out for too long so your dog will never be alone for long. You can usually find me out walking around the neighborhood or at a public park. I spend time walking downtown, on the swamp rabbit trail or hiking. I have been around and working with dogs for 10+ years. I have worked at a dog boarding facility. I have lived with several roommates and their dogs. Most of which were puppies who I assisted in training. I had one family dog growing up and I had a personal dog I had for eight amazing years.

April did an excellent job taking care of our cats. She communicated well, met all their needs, and left everything just as she found it.

This was the second time our big shepard mix girl (Indy) stayed with April and her family. Indy sure had a great summer vacation, playing with April's daughter inside and outside in the fenced in backyard. We can only recommend April for pet boarding.

April and her family were wonderful with Mika! They sent daily updates and pictures, which gave me great peace of mind. Mika looked very happy and well cared for. I would absolutely trust them with her again.

April was very accommodating and responsive to my needs. She sent multiple pics throughout the day (which were very adorable). My dog had a fun and safe place to stay while I visited relatives for the day.

Safety, trust & environment

My happy place with my toddler outside! You can find me in my fenced in backyard or walking in the neighborhood. The dog is free to roam the house or be contained to the downstairs.

A typical day

I am very flexible to your pets preferences! Your pet and I can take long walks at a near by shady park or we can take a short walk around the neighborhood. Whether your pet prefers to relax alone or has high energy and loves interaction I can accommodate them! I can take them while I go out and about and they can run free in my fenced in backyard for some play and fresh air.

Your dog must be kid friendly and must not jump! I would prefer them to have been around children before but if not they can have no signs of aggression. I prefer potty trained but if not still willing to take just be honest! I can take out for potty breaks frequently if I know.
