Safety, trust & environment

I prefer to take care of pets at clients homes because my dog doesn’t like other animals or people. It is easier for me and my family

Information April S. would like to know about your pet

I do not have training in special needs dogs, but if the instructions are clear, and you can give me a tutorial, then we’re good

A typical day

The time I get up is determined by the pets. Some like to sleep longer, others do not. That’s OK. Because my normal time to get up for work is 430.

Pet care experience

My name is April. I love animals. I have always had dogs at home. Growing up we had a lab, pointer and a poodle. Then later the poodle had puppies and they had to be bottle fed, all 6 of them. It was exhaust, fun and exciting. Mom and sister and I took turns. For awhile we also had 2 English sheep dogs. I like to walk and run with the dogs and explore the neighborhood. I also have a 12 year old girl, 17 year old boy and a 19 year old girl that would help me out, if needed. Size and breed doesn’t bother me. I like all dogs. I remember watching the movie All Dogs Go to Heaven when I was younger and I believe that

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.
