Pet care experience
It's hard to pinpoint what I love most about dogs! Their smiles, their companionship, all their different quirks and personalities. Nothing is as loving and loyal as a dog! I became a pet sitter because there’s just nothing more gratifying than getting to provide the love and care to a pup that needs it. As a dog mom to three of my own dogs (a Golden Retriever, a Dalmatian, and a Heeler/Terrier mix), I know just how important it is to make sure that your own pups are taken care of in a professional and loving way. I make my own schedule, so I typically am very open and flexible for lots of fun during a stay. That makes me a great fit for pups that like to have plenty of interaction throughout the day, since I’ll be with them for the majority of the day. Since we’ll have plenty of time together, I always like to update owners by way of text, picture, or video messages to let you know how we’re getting along and what adventures we’ve gotten into that day! I am a very outdoorsy person and love to stay active, so we’ll have plenty of opportunities together to have some fun in the sun! I always like to go for a hike on the Greenbelt or perhaps to my favorite park on Lake Austin, which is doggie heaven. I am rarely anywhere without my dogs, so your pup is always welcome to accompany me on an adventure! Nothing makes me happier than seeing a big happy smile on the face of a dog. I have a huge fenced yard but I am also open to taking dogs on hikes and runs. I have had people tell me often that they would love to come back as one of my dogs in a second life because we have so much fun together!
Reviews
I've never seen anyone so loving and compassionate for animals than April. Since she was a child she's had a great love of animals and has taken great joy on taking care of them. I would recommend April to anyone to care for their pet.
As a dog mama herself, April is experienced, flexible, and has a genuine love for animals. Your pet will find an immediate connection with her.
April is one of the kindest most caring individuals I have ever known!! That's why she is my best friend!! She wouldn't even let me kill a wasp nest that was posing a threat! There is nothing she loves more in this world than animals!!! Her dogs are her babies, and she will treat yours the same!!!
April is a very capable, caring and knowledgable lady and I have no hesitation in recommending her as a responsible and loving dog caregiver. Your pets will be safe and happy in her hands.

Skills
Information April Y. would like to know about your pet
Some things I like to learn ahead of time: Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? What’s your preferred method of communication? Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? What’s the best way to spoil your pup?
A typical day
Since I love to stay active, we’ll have plenty of time for exercising and new adventures. We would bond together very quickly over our love of walks and runs before heading out for a hike. I love to head to the Greenbelt with my own pups, so we’ll have a blast exploring that area together and getting out into nature. I’m also a big fan of heading to to dog parks, especially the park at Lake Austin, which is my favorite place for some off-leash fun! I’m also just as happy to spend some time with pups that are a bit more easygoing, be it time spent exploring the neighborhood, cuddling on the couch, or getting caught up on Netflix together! I’m happy to meet your pup at their speed, no matter what it is.
