Pet care experience

Your Pet’s New Best Friend

I've had dogs in my life since I was a baby, and caring for them has always come naturally. I often look after friends' dogs when they're away, and I genuinely love spending time with animals of all kinds. Whether it’s going for long walks, giving them attention and playtime, or just making sure they feel safe and loved, I treat every pet like my own. I’m reliable, patient, and always happy to tailor care to your pet’s specific needs—whether they're energetic puppies or older dogs who need a gentler touch.

Boarding • Apr 09, 2026

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we handed over our Egyptian Mau/American Tabby mix, Odin, we felt completely at ease. April was attentive, communicative, and clearly genuinely loves animals. Odin can be particular about new people, but he settled right in. We received regular photo updates showing him relaxed, well-fed, and happily lounging. When we picked him up, he was calm and content, which told us everything we needed to know. It’s rare to find someone you trust completely with your pet, and we’ve absolutely found that. We’ll be booking again without hesitation. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our boy! In fact, Odin loved April so much he didn’t even want to leave. The ultimate seal of approval from a very discerning cat!

April is reliable and communicative. She arrived at the appointed times, and gave Koya long, pleasant walks in the park. Koya happily bonded with her and seemed happy with the time they spent together. We will book April again!

April has been great visiting my dog, ensuring he gets his dinner and chew followed by a comfort break! Thank you!

My dog is always happy when I get home after he has been with April! April has always been very reliable with good communication, and looked after my dog well. She has really helped out when I needed it!

House Sitting • Nov 30, 2025

April was amazing!! She arrived exactly on time, was so at ease with Gus (our 5-month-old puppy), followed his schedule and put him to bed - when we got home Gus was happily asleep and was in a great mood in the morning. Can’t recommend her enough

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large terrace which is great for small dogs but also live right next to Victoria Park which is where I'll do most of my dog walks! I also have a crate if needed.

A typical day

I love going on long walks, playing fetch or tug-of-war, exploring parks, and giving lots of belly rubs and attention. Every pet gets personalised playtime and care.

It helps a lot to know your pet’s routine, what they love (or don’t love), any health issues, and how they are around other animals. If they have any quirks, special needs, or things that make them nervous, please do let me know! The more I know, the better.
