The Dog Girl

Animals have been a meaningful part of my life for as long as I can remember. They’re family members who bring comfort, joy, and unconditional love, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. For over 20 years, I’ve helped families care for their beloved companions—both dogs and cats. I previously owned and operated an in-home dog boarding business, Play With Des, in Hong Kong for six years. The business was inspired by my late best friend of 16 years, Desmond. Seeing him grow more confident and social simply by being around other dogs was incredibly rewarding and remains one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Through my work, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of many breeds, ages, temperaments, and abilities. I truly enjoy cats and appreciate their unique personalities, independence, and routines. Many of the families I worked with trusted me long-term and returned year after year. I’m comfortable supporting companions with health concerns or special needs and always aim to care for them as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks or check-ins, I’m happy to provide dependable, thoughtful care so you can feel at ease knowing your family member is in loving, experienced hands.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for animals exclusively in their own homes, where they feel safest and most at ease. I treat every companion like family, offering play, comfort, and consistency while maintaining routines. I’m thorough with care and always make sure your home is left exactly as I found it.

April is the best - caring, communicative, reliable. I’ve booked with her at least 5 times and will continue to do so, highly recommend :)

April is honestly the best. Our dogs love her, she follows directions perfectly (even with some odd teeth brushing routines for our older dog), and is extremely trustworthy in the home. Hope to have April’s support for many years to come. Our dogs would be devastated to lose her.

Absolutely the best with our pups and cats! I always feel at ease knowing April is watching over our fur babies when we are out of town.

Schedule

Caring for animals fits naturally into my routine. I work PRN, which gives me flexibility in my schedule. I only accept bookings that I can fully commit to, and once care is confirmed, your companion’s routine and needs are my priority. I plan my days carefully to ensure every visit, walk, or check-in is consistent and reliable.

April can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
It’s helpful to know about any special needs, medical considerations, anxiety around new people, or safety concerns such as door-dashing or escaping. I’m always happy to schedule a meet & greet beforehand so everyone feels comfortable and confident moving forward.
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.
