Pet care experience
WFH Pet Sitter and Animal Lover 🐾
Hello! My name is April, and I'm currently accepting requests for overnight housesitting and weekend drop in visits! I will only accept 1 client at a time per day, so I can make sure your pets get all the attention they need! Although I'm new to Rover, I have taken care of multiple cats and dogs for friends over the past 10 years while they are out of town on weekend or month long trips. I've also owned pet rats and cared for a friend's hamster, so I'm comfortable with small animals too. I have experience with giving oral medication to cats and rats. Most of my pet-sitting experience has been with cats, but I love dogs too! I would like to do a meet and greet with new clients before accepting bookings, to make sure that your pet and I would be a good fit and that I can provide the care that they need! What to Expect for Overnight Housesitting - I have a foldable mattress I can bring to sleep on, so you don't need to worry about setting up a bed for me. I don't mind sleeping in a bed with your pets though if that's what they prefer. - I can stay with your pets during weekdays since I work from home, as long as I can use your Wi-Fi. - I can also go back to my home for a couple hours everyday to shower/get food, as long as your pet is okay with being left alone for a few hours. But if you would like me to stay for 24 hours a day, that can be arranged as long as I can use your shower and kitchen. - I may ask if my boyfriend or a friend can come over during the day if you are okay with me having guests over. I can bring my boyfriend to the meet and greet as well so he can meet you and your pets.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I'll be sure to respect your space and make sure your pet feels at ease while you're away! I'm also happy to share my location for overnight housesitting if that would make you feel more at ease about your pets not being left alone for too long. I can also provide as many daily updates as you need.
Ratings and reviews
April had taken care of my cat Moko while we’re out of town many times during a two years period. She loves animals, especially cats. she is very responsible , patient , gentle, and played a lot with my cat. She is a perfect cat sitter. Thank you April.
April took such good care of my rescue dog Watson! He’s usually slow to warm up to people, but he warmed up to April pretty much immediately. She was kind and gentle with him—exactly what he needed. She welcomed him into her home as if he were her own. She is responsible and professional! She took him on walks, fed him, and he had a lot of fun during his stay. 10/10 would recommend!
April took fantastic care of my two cats for over 10 years, and she goes above and beyond to make sure the fur babies receive proper care and love! I always felt completely at ease during my trips because I knew my cats were in good hands 💕

Schedule
Schedule: For housesitting on weekdays, although I do work remotely from 7am-4pm on weekdays, I'll try to follow your pet's regular schedule as much as I can. My personal schedule is usually wide open on weekends, so I have more time to take your pets to the park or any other special enrichment activities!
