About: Ever since i was a kid my passion has been animals and taking care of them. Ive made it a priority in my life to ensure that pets are living a good, happy, and healthy life style by being active and having fun. I pride my self in my ability to interact and socialize with all types of breeds and i make it my goal to keep them safe and living a great and fulfilling life.

I've loved every minute and every interaction ive had and i hope to be able to spread my passion and experience with others. I enjoy what I do and my rates are flexible and I will do everything possible to work with your needs to ensure your animals get the attention they need and deserve.
“This was our first time using Rover. We needed someone to check in on our cat and make sure he had food, water, and some attention. Olivia was great! She was very responsive to our questions and even came over ahead of time for a meet and greet. She gave us an update and pictures after each visit and even spent extra time with our cat. It gave us peace of mind knowing that he was taken care of and we came home to a happy cat! Thanks Olivia!”

About: I have 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes. I am deeply passionate about dogs and cats. I believe every animal deserves individualized attention and affection, and I always strive to treat each pet with the highest level of respect and care. My goal is to ensure that every animal in my care feels genuinely loved and valued. My approach focuses on creating a calm, peaceful, and enjoyable environment for your furry companions. I work to provide a trustworthy and comforting space, giving your pets a sense of being at home even when you are away. Comfort, security, and joy are at the heart of my pet care philosophy. I currently hold a full-time job from 8 AM to 5 PM, but I am available in the evenings and on weekends to provide care for your pets and their own familiar surroundings. I prefer to care for animals in their own home to help them maintain their routine and comfort Should you wish, I can provide excellent references from current clients to demonstrate my commitment and reliability.

About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for my own dogs and cats, as well as helping family members with their pets. Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I truly understand how much they mean to their families. I am patient, calm, and very respectful of each animal’s personality and space. I’m especially gentle with shy, senior, or more sensitive pets, helping them feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. During each visit, I make sure pets are fed on time, have fresh water, receive attention, playtime, and plenty of affection. I understand how important routines are and I always follow instructions carefully. I treat every pet as if they were part of my own family, and I provide updates and photos so you can feel relaxed and confident knowing your pets are in caring and reliable hands. Pet care is a dedicated and organized part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule one day in advance to ensure I can provide reliable and punctual service to every client. I currently offer drop-in visits Monday through Friday between 6am and 3pm. I limit the number of visits per day so each pet receives calm, focused, and attentive care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully to maintain the pet’s normal routine and environment. I ensure doors and gates are secured, food and medications are administered as directed, and the home is kept clean and respectful. I provide regular updates with messages and photos so owners feel informed and reassured. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and stable experience for both the pet and the family.
About: I am known as a dog whisper, I have been able to calm angry simply through a gentle hand. My chickens follow me around like the Pied Piper. I am retired, so their routine is my routine. I generally rise between 6am - 7am and begin dog walking. After they have been fed, I take care of the other pets. At this time I do not plan to offer boarding on my eight acre hobby farm. If I do, then dogs, horses, cattle, sheep, and goats will be accomodated.

About: I own a 1-year-old Lab mix and a eight-year-old German Shepherd, and I have over four years of experience working at a veterinary clinic.

I eagerly anticipate meeting your pets! ☺️🥰 My regular working hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5p.m. However, I am available to work outside these hours, including weekends and holidays. My expertise extends to canine care across a diverse range of ages and temperaments, encompassing both fearful and aggressive animals. I am also proficient in feline care and medication administration.

About: I always grew up with dogs and got in to the industry 6 years ago. I started at a doggy daycare and eventually got a job training protection dogs.

I have a room dedicated to the pets I am sitting as well as a securely fenced backyard. I will crate and rotate guests with my dogs, unless explicitly friendly, to ensure the safety of all. Any pet in my home is treated as my own!
About: I have always loved animals from feeding, trying to talk to strays, to having animals of my own! I have always been the person to take the responsibility of all care of dogs mainly but I have experience with cats and even bunnies ! Sadly I don't get my dogs any more due to the family dogs passing away I gifted my baby girl to my mom I would love to see and take care of yours! Truly missing all 3 of mine ! Currently my schedule is open I am trying to get more time home with my daughter would love for it to be a regular thing ! Tell me how you take care of yours and I'll do the same!

As a recent high school graduate, I have plenty of free time to care for your kitties! Boarding at my home and housesitting at yours is available throughout the summer.

About: With over 4 years of pet care experience, I have developed a deep understanding of various breeds and their unique needs. Whether it's providing daily exercise, playtime, or administering medications, I ensure that every pet feels loved and safe. My goal is to create a comfortable environment where your furry friend can thrive while you're away! I currently work remotely, which allows me to be home all day and provide consistent care and attention to your dog. I dedicate quality time for play, companionship, and plenty of cuddles throughout the day. On weekends, I enjoy taking dogs on longer adventures, such as walks or trips to the park, to keep them active and engaged. I strive to create a fun, safe, and loving environment that keeps my routine lively and enjoyable—for both me and your pup! 🐶💚 I have a patio with a small fenced yard, providing a safe outdoor space for your dog to relax and play.

About: Animals have always been a part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally. Over the past 8 years, I’ve worked with pets of all kinds—playful pups, independent cats, curious bunnies, and even the occasional lizard. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether it’s a quick visit, a long walk, or just keeping them company, I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. As a remote worker, I have the flexibility to easily incorporate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. My schedule allows me to plan visits, walks, and check-ins throughout the day without the constraints of a traditional 9–5 job. This means I can provide consistent, timely care and adjust to each pet’s specific needs—whether that’s a morning walk, a midday visit, or evening playtime. Being remote also allows me to stay nearby in case any last-minute needs come up. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my focus is always on creating a safe, clean, and low-stress environment. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide—so they feel secure and comfortable in their familiar space. I make sure your home is respected and left just as I found it. If pets are staying in my home, they’ll have a cozy, quiet space with plenty of attention, play, and supervised care throughout the day. In both cases, I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
About: As a veterinary technician, I’m trained in medication administration, senior and special-needs care, and post-op monitoring. I provide professional, compassionate care that goes beyond standard sitting. As a full-time veterinary technician, pet care is an extension of my daily routine and passion. I start and end my days with dog walks, feeding, and check-ins, and I’m available for extended visits, overnight care, and specialized support for senior or medicated pets on weekdays before 7:30 am and after 6:00 pm. Fridays, Sundays, and Saturdays on off weeks provide additional flexible availability for longer visits and boarding. My experience ensures pets receive professional, attentive care even while maintaining my busy schedule. I provide attentive, professional care in both my home and your home, always prioritizing your pet’s comfort, safety, and well-being. In your home, I follow your routines for feeding, walks, and playtime, and can administer medications, monitor health, and care for senior or recovering pets. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, clean, and enriching environment with regular walks, supervised play, and individualized attention. As a veterinary technician, I am trained to notice subtle changes in behavior or health and respond promptly, giving you peace of mind whether you’re away for a few hours or overnight.
“She is hands down the best dog sitter that I’ve ever encountered, and I will definitely work with her again in the foreseeable future. She made me feel at ease with everything, and I didn’t have anything to worry about when it came to my animals’ safety and the security of my home. She’s very communicative and attentive when it came to the animals’ activity/progress. She is extremely awesome, and I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for the best dog sitter on the planet.”
