Initial Consultation

Before securing initial services, an in-home consultation ("meet & greet") will be conducted to not only meet you and your pet(s), but to gain pertinent information and answer any further questions you may have.

If during the "meet & greet" you decide to hire my services, that would be the ideal time to have a key for me.

"Hi April, I just thought you want to know that Caitlin surpassed my expectations! [I] was absolutely amazed at how happy the dogs were when I arrived home. [Caitlin] clearly took AMAZING care of my dogs AND my house!!! It was as clean as if I had just left hours earlier! Thank you SO much for taking such good care of my pups. Sincere thanks for everything!!"

- Jennifer S.

"Seriously, best notes/updates I've ever received from a pet sitter. Thank you!"

- Charla M.

"April is awesome! It was clear to me that she paid attention to details especially with my two cats. Details about my fur kids' personality that I didn't tell her, she readily observed. I think they didn't miss me much with the 10 days I was away. I will definitely call April in the future."

- Cristina T.

- Vanessa W.

"April's service was far better than we would have ever expected. It felt so nice to come home to happy cats and a clean house. April's professionalism is the greatest and her care is above all. It is also nice in this day and age to be able to trust such a nice soul."

"Thank you so much for your excellent care of Betty. It was a relief to know you were coming and the daily emails were reassuring. Thanks!"

- Jimmy, Larry & "Betty"

"Loved the daily updates. They really put my mind at ease. Thank you for cleaning the kitchen, you really went above and beyond. I will definitely hire you again the next time I go out of town. Thank you!!"

- Trysta B.

"April is an excellent pet sitter and the best I've ever employed. She did every thing and more in caring for my dog, and her daily emails were very entertaining and reassuring. The only "downside" to hiring April was that my dog wasn't nearly as happy to see me when I returned as she usually is, no doubt because she missed all of April's attention and affection! I would hire April again in a minute and recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter!!"

- Janice L.

"Thanks so much, I returned home and my dogs looked at me like 'where's April?' I could tell that they had been entertained, as they were less crazy when I got home. Thank God and Thank you April."

- Kara Saun, Project Runway

"April absolutely adored and cared for my animals while I was away for a long period of time working in production. Frequently leaving my cats is the hardest part of my job and leaving them with a someone who truly appreciates how important they are to me is of utmost importance. April is that person in spades and I recommend her services to any concerned pet owner!"

- Christine Anisko

"Thanks again! I loved the daily emails and looked forward to them everyday. Reading them kept me at ease and your care and concern were evident. And "Mazy" says thanks for the toy you left for her."

- Karen Rose

"April's pet care is outstanding and I especially loved receiving a daily report via email about my pet's experience. I would highly recommend a.b.'s fuzzy babies."

- Frances Edwards

"April took such good care of our cat Santiago. We could not have felt better about her services. The daily diary is so comforting and our cat seemed happy upon our return. We know he had been in good hands!"

- Dionne A. & Todd S.

"You were a terrific choice. You made my trip worry-free and your extras, i.e. emails, updates and pictures were wonderful. We vote you best cat sitter ever. Your framed pictures of the two are delightful, and it proves you have a special way with animals."

- Marilyn & Frank M.
