I'm so excited to meet your dogs!
Pet care experience
Hello everyone! I'm a recent University of California Irvine graduate working in the field of Applied Behavioral Analysis as a behavioral therapist. Because I have a very flexible work schedule, I decided to take up working part time with my other passion in addition to psychology: taking care of dogs! I love all animals, but I have a special place in my heart for dogs! I grew up with a Cairn Terrier and took care of her into old age. I take care of two dogs when I go to my parents' house, both of which we've had since they were puppies. I also have been pet sitting for UCI faculty for a few years now! Dogs that stay with me will get lots of attention, affection, and walks!

Olivia took care of my elder Australian Shepherd in her home for 10 days while I was on vacation. My dog has had many sitters and kennel experiences over her lifetime and has always done well with good care, yet I can always see subtle signs of how comfortable she was in any particular location by how she greets me and how well she adjusts back to everyday circumstances. As she's become older, I see it in her gait (compromised by arthritis in her hips and legs). After I picked her up from Olivia's home, I could tell she had been extremely comfortable and well-cared for. Her walking was strong and she was in good spirits. Olivia's reports while I was gone as well as on pick up made me secure of her care, including special walks. Olivia had also helped her feel comfortable getting up and down in higher places and given her medication when needed. I also appreciated that Olivia was able to keep her on the homemade food she has done well on. In short, although my dog is a joy and very sweet, her care requires attention and love, and Olivia provided that beyond my expectations, I wouldn't hestitate to recommend her for any dog, especially one that requires extra attention like an elderly one, and I would love to use her again.
Olivia was fantastic! She took my pooch for many walks and truly appeared to have enjoyed him! She kept in touch throughout Charlie’s stay, asking questions such as “is he allowed on the couch... I don’t want to confuse him!” How thoughtful is that? Thanks Olivia
I enjoined very much leaving my puppy with Olivia, he came back home happy and tired, Olivia treated him so good, I definitely will ask her again!!!

A typical day
We will go on lots of walks around my neighborhood. There are plenty of paths for shorter walks, but also space to go on a longer walk near the back bay! Dogs that stay with me get a lot of attention and energy!
