Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving care with vet-experience
I have loved and cared for dogs for many years. During college, I spent five years working in a veterinary office where I gained valuable experience. I have a friendly Golden retriever who enjoys having other dogs around (large or small). I have cared for dogs belonging to our friends and family while they travel and understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. I provide a safe, comfortable home where your dog can be a part of the family while enjoying our spacious fenced yard and receive plenty of attention. Our two children are older and comfortable with dogs. They understand how to be respectful around dogs so your dog will be joining a calm, family-oriented home. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine and will do my best to make your dog feel at home while you're away.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Apryl was such a great sitter for my dog! She was attentive and kept me updated through the day!! My dog has always been very skidish and she was able to get her to have fun and mingle anyways! I totally would recommend Apryl to anyone who is looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive sitter/walker for their dog!
My dog loves to go over for play dates at Apryl’s house. She has a big yard with lots of him to run around in, and he always comes back happy.
Apryl Harbaugh has watched my dog for over three years now. She’s always been great with animals and this has stayed true with my energetic and mischievous toy poodle Polly. Regardless of the amount of time she’s happy to watch Polly and does a great job of giving her time to play and exercise. She also makes sure that poly who loves people and dogs gets adequate time with both. I couldn’t recommend Apryl more heavily, my experience has been wonderful.

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my daily life because I am home much of the time and enjoy having dogs as part of our family routine. I have the flexibility to give boarding dogs plenty of attention and outdoor time. I am able to accommodate each dog's normal routine as much as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, playtime and bedtime. My goal is for your dog to feel comfortable in our home rather than staying in a kennel.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Our home has a large fenced yard where dogs can safely play and explore. My friendly Golden Retriever enjoys playing with friends. I keep my boarding groups under 2 dogs so I can give each dog individual attention and maintain a calm environment.
Pets
A typical day
We have plenty of space to play in our fenced yard. My dog loves to play catch and I enjoy being outside tossing the ball for him. I would do the same to engage your dog, but they may just enjoy exploring the yard and napping in the shade!

- Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or requires special attention. Along those lines, it would be helpful to know if your dog has any fears we should be aware of, for example, our dog is fearful of hats.
