Introduction
HI! My name is April and I was raised on a farm where I loved learning all of the personalities of the animals. I recognize that your pets are your “babies” and to me they are my #1 priority. I’m retired, full of energy, and sharing my love with dogs. Grandmothers go above and beyond with grandchildren, similar to what I can do for your pets. I specialize in delivering the utmost standard of care to all of my clients and their fur babies. I have a wide range of experience, including with celebrity and professional athlete clients. Attention to every detail is why most of my clients have been coming to me for years. Every detail is taken care of to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Please note: I only care for small/medium dogs. I do not pet sit in your home. Boarding is $60 per day Training With boarding $100.00 per day Via phone $50.00 per session Your location $150 per session Reviews, please take the time to read for I appreciate the time given by parents. I provide undivided attention in my home. I pick up and deliver. Pets will have free range in my home; I am a companion and trainer not a kennel. I am not a believer of placing in a room alone, they are always with me while away from you. With parent's permission, I will give rides to Lowe’s, Play Dates, and even a visit to you when possible! The gratitude I receive from taking care of someone’s dog is knowing that they’re not alone in a kennel with sad eyes. One on one time is very important to me, and provides great joy knowing that your pet is getting quality care, love, and enjoying their vacation time away from their parents while in my care.

April was so wonderful to not only us but to our dog. She responded immediately and was able to help us out on very short notice. You can clearly tell she loves animals and does everything she can to make your pet as happy and comfortable as possible while you are away. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter!

We didn’t know what we were going to do we were leaving for 5 days and we needed to find a dog sitter or do boarding. Our 1 year old Schnoodle goes to doggie day care as couple days a week to run off some of her energy but we didn’t like their boarding policy. Our dog doesn’t get crated andsleeps in bed with us and yes she is spoiled. We found April online and she sounded perfect for what we were looking for. We arranged a meeting and April came to our house to meet Harley. Well April sat on our floor and petted and held her and my anxiety was slowly disappearing. We discussed everything. We knew what we needed to do for Harleys vacation at Aprils and when she left, my husband and I looked at each other and said Oh I think we found the perfect answer. We got Harley ready and April picked her up and Harley was excited. Off they went, we left and April took a photo of Harley sleeping on the way to Aprils. I am a lot over the top, and called and texted and I actually had a good time while we were gone. I especially appreciated the photos. We arrived home and April and Harley came home and as April says Harley was on vacation and doesn’t need to know we were gone. She just thinks she was on her own vacation. April did work on some things with Harley such as sitting while e put her leash on and now it’s just routine. We are so thankful we found April and have already scheduled another trip for our grand daughters 1st birthday. April is amazing!!

April is truly a Blessing to my Romeo! Her personal care and her her experience with pet sitting is above and beyond expectations! In addition, her knowledge and training is very evident in her patience and passion as she treats Romeo as her own dog. Without reservation, I highly recommend April for all of your pet's needs and services. She has a servant's heart and genuinely goes out of her way to achieve what is in the best interest of your pet.
