A passion for making animals happy!
Pet care experience
I've loved dogs my entire life and got my first dog when I was 10, after years of researching breeds and trying to instill my passion on the rest of my family. Since then I have not only devoted my life to making animals happy but also expanding my knowledge and experience of all things pet related, including working in boarding facilities, as a walker, house sitter, and even in retail pet stores. Right now, I personally own two dogs (an American bully puppy, who is an aspiring UKC show dog, and a Central Asian Ovcharka). My skills include a vast knowledge of dogs (including dog breeds, care, basic training techniques, canine behavior, and puppy and senior dog care), experience with reptiles, cats, rodents, and arachnids, very good housekeeping skills to maintain your home while you are away, and the ability to multitask and watch many pets at once. I currently have availability Monday through Friday between the hours of 9am and 4pm, weekends fully free, for walks and drop ins, and house sitting I am available to do as well on an open schedule. I have many years of personal and professional experience with handling dogs, so I’ve picked up a lot of tips for ensuring safety on walks and during sitting. I will follow all rules you give me, and beyond that, your pets will be treated with the same care I treat my pets.
Reviews
Olivier was wonderful. Our shy cats became his best pals by the end of the visit! Thanks!!
Olivier was very kind and friendly to work with! He took the time to meet with us and our cats beforehand to get to know them and us. We felt comfortable leaving our cats in his care and we looked forward to his updates and photos after every visit. Our cats were well taken care of while we were away. We’d recommend Olivier to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!
I have had a couple of sitters look after my cat in the past, but Olivier leaves them in the dust. He’s responsible, genuinely cares about doing a good job, and respects your home. It’s so heartwarming to see the bond my cat has formed with him, as well. Appreciate you, Olivier!
Thanks Olivier. Appreciate the short notice acceptance of my last minute booking.

Information Olivier L. would like to know about your pet
General information like age, sex, breed, and socialization level. Also if they have any allergies or special care instructions that must be followed, of course. Any other information is also welcomed such as toy preferences and activity preferences. I have absolutely no breed preferences, I love dogs of all shapes and sizes, though I must say that big dogs are my favorite.
A typical day
We will definitely enjoy many walks in the park, and around the neighborhood. Other places I love walking are on boardwalks, along the water, through forest trails, and so on. I love exploring new areas I haven't been to so my client's dog(s) will definitely get to see a lot of that. I also love playing with dogs, as I find playtime with my dogs to be one of the most enriching parts of my day. I'm a tug o' war pro and am up for playing fetch for hours on end. In the past I've also really enjoyed biking and skateboarding with my dogs and if my client is okay with it and their canine companion is willing, so am I. I'm also totally down for cuddles on the couch if the pet I'm spending time with is older or just not quite as inclined to have vigorous play sessions.
