Dog Lady

Pet care experience

I have taken care of dogs from a very younger age. When I was 8 I got my first puppy and my mother taught me how to train her and how to walk her and how to feed her nutritious meals. I have been and always will bring home a stray in need, foster and nurse to health and find them forever homes! My family and friends would always have me stay in their home with their fur child or drop them off at my house when they couldn't go with them on a trip. At large functions (or small) you'll find I'm very timid with humans and then I see a dog and I'm fully animated. In 2018 I worked for Doggie District for a year. I took 17 hours of training with Doggie University to learn a dogs body language and verbal ques, How to handle any temperament, and how to speak/talk to dogs. I can garentee availability, a sense of urgency, ownership during working hours, tentative attention to your pup., and extra play time.

I’m so thankful to have had April dog sit for us while my husband and I were away on vacation. She did such a wonderful job caring for our 7 month old puppy. She sent regular updates and I felt comfortable knowing April was there taking care of her.

April was the best person to take care of our dogs! She sent us pictures in all the time we were out and she was very communicative. As well she kept our house clean which is a super plus and our dogs already miss her. I do recommend her for yours :)

I have 5 Dogs at home and a cat. Every morning at 5 am I get my dogs out of their beds and take them out side to go potty, then i feed all five a special blend of fresh vegetables, brown rice, and turkey or chicken, mixed with thier iams dry food and water. After ive done my own morning routine i take them to the dog park for play time. For the rest of the day i let my dogs out every hour that I am home. I take breaks working to play with them outside or for a cuddle sesh. At night they get their dinner around 5 pm and they go out multiple times. I take the water bowl away (b.c. they drink non stop and pee everywhere at night.) Then tuck them in their own bed or more likey my own haha.

Information April Vivian B. would like to know about your pet

Important information I need to know is if they take any medications how and when. And what their behaviors are towards receiving meds. What kinds of toys you don't allow them to play with. ARE they aggressive towards humans, kids, dogs or cats? What toy is their favorite. Are they on a special diet? How much do you feed them? Can they have treats if so what their favorite? Do they like kisses? Are they potty trained? Do they eat poop?

A typical day

I like to go to well maintained dog parks, long walks at a lake,or park on leash of course. I may try to teach a new trick. Throw the ball at the dog park. One on one pets and cuddles. All based on your dog's preferences. (House sitting services and fees include me staying at your house all day and overnight)
