Information april w. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs, behaviors, anxieties that I need to accommodate for— I’m very flexible and willing to accommodate as such. PLEASE NOTE: ~ All dogs MUST be spayed or neutered (only exception is for puppies and those too young to be fixed) -MUST provide up to date documentation on Rabies, Bordetella and Distemper. I will need a photo copy of the shot records to keep on file. You may bring a hard copy and I’ll snap a photo and return the papers to you. This is in the best interest in any and all animals I come into contact! Each and every pet is precious to me, I do not wish for any to get sick during their time in my care!

A typical day

I love to stimulate dogs mentally and physically if it be toys or puzzles. Exploring our neighborhood, finding new smells on walks, running around our backyard.... The possibilities are endless!

April is great! She treated my dog like her own and was awesome with communication. We unfortunately had a medical emergency with my pet and she handled it so well. Highly recommended April!

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.
