“Elaine you are an Angel! We came home to a very happy kitty. Little is a shy cat who generally isn’t too trusting and amazingly you got her to play and feel comfortable with you in her space. I know there are other sitters out there but my future sitter will absolutely be you!! Thank you so much, I will recommend you to all of our friends and family.”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and animals they’ve always been a big part of my life. From the time I was 11 to 17 I helped my aunt with her animal care business, which gave me lots of walking, feeding, bathing, and spending quality time with dogs of all kinds. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets too, and I always treat each one like they’re my own. I truly enjoy giving animals love, attention, and a safe, happy environment. This is my second job! As I am a young adult trying to save up for my future so my schedule is very tight around my other jobs schedule as of right now. When caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I stick to their normal routines for feeding, walks, and playtime so they feel secure. I give plenty of attention, exercise, and cuddles, and always keep their space clean and cozy. I also follow any special instructions carefully, whether that’s giving medications, handling specific diets, or keeping up with training. My goal is to make each pet feel like they’re part of my family while their owner is away.

“We are so happy to have April take care of Lefty because she genuinely loves dogs from what we experienced. She helped us so much when we went on vacation when one of us came down with covid and could not fly until my husbands was not contagious. April was so understanding about this.”
