Tabitha was amazing. Marley loved her and was delighted after the walk because he got into a playful frenzy. Thanks, Tabitha! I think you are a dog whisperer.

Shannon did a great job with my dog! She was patient and kind to him on their walks, building a rapport with him and ensuring he was ok, as he has some anxiety over walking our new neighborhood. I would definitely recommend her!

Emma was a big help walking my dog while I was on a work trip. My dog stayed with my parents but it was too cold for either of them to walk her so we relied on Emma to come twice a day to walk Lexi. Thank you so much!

I cannot recommend Ben highly enough. He is very attentive to dogs needs and provides an abundance of attention and love. He is great about taking dogs on longs walks and making sure that they are comfortable. I know my dog is always in safe hands with Ben and I utilize him frequently for this reason.

Shannon has taken care of my senior dog Daisy 4-5 times a week while I’m at work for over six months now, and I’ve never once had a single problem. She’s taken a lot of stress out of my days knowing Daisy is well taken care of.

Cat has always been amazing with my two dogs. She is very patient and kind with them. Even my grumpy old female husky. They love her and even though both of my dogs are older and more on the lazy side, she still helps them stay active and healthy. Thank you Cat!

Paul is the kindest guy to both people and dogs. He’s been wonderful with my 5-month old pup, whom he takes out when I’m at work and spends quality time tuckering her out! He takes her for long walks, plays with her, and practices training. And sends me pictures of all the cute things she does! I’m so grateful to have found safe hands to check-in on her when I have to be away.

Sydney has been a godsend! My husband usually takes Rudy for her daytime walks, but is now suffering from a back injury & is unable to walk without a walker. Sydney was available right away & has become a lifesaver for us! Rudy waits by the door everyday when it's time for her to come & definitely enjoys her time with Sydney

About: Hello, pet parents! I’m Olivia, here to offer a loving retreat for your furry family. As I work from home, I will be keeping your pet company throughout the day, ensuring they receive continuous care and attention. Here’s what I offer: Pet-Friendly Home: Pets are welcome on all furniture and warmly invited to sleep in bed with me. Housesitting & Boarding: I prefer housesitting, but I'm also happy to host pets in my pet-free apartment surrounded by scenic trails and walkable neighborhoods. Attention to Detail: Described as kind, attentive, and nurturing, I provide regular photo updates and am happy to accommodate any special requests your pet might have. Health and Safety: Experienced in administering medication and living just across the street from a vet clinic, ensuring swift care in emergencies. Choosing me means your pet will have a temporary guardian and a genuine buddy who delights in their company. I treat every opportunity as a sacred trust, caring for your pet and home as if they were my own. Working from home allows me to give your pet constant care and companionship, offering my undivided attention throughout the day. They will be my top priority, ensuring they are never left alone and always well cared for. In My Home: When boarding pets at my apartment, I create a nurturing environment tailored to each pet's needs. I ensure they feel comfortable and safe, with access to cozy spots for resting and plenty of playtime. We enjoy regular walks along nearby trails and quiet time indoors, maintaining a routine that keeps them happy and relaxed. In Your Home: During housesitting, I focus on keeping your pet’s routine as normal as possible to minimize stress. I'll handle everything from feeding and medications to exercise and play, all in their familiar surroundings. Plus, I make sure to keep your home tidy and secure, giving you peace of mind while you're away.
