Dog Sitting in Little Silver

About: I'm an experienced, caring, and playful sitter with a passion for providing exceptional care to dogs of all shapes, sizes, and energy levels. Whether your pup needs a running buddy or a gentle hand for a drop-in visit, I'm here to offer reliable, attentive, and fun care tailored to their unique needs. 🐶 About My Dog Experience With over 13 years of hands-on experience, I've proudly been a dog parent to two wonderful, high-energy Lab mixes—so I truly understand the dedication it takes to manage and love energetic breeds! Beyond my own dogs, I have walked and cared for countless friends' dogs, ranging from playful puppies needing potty breaks to gentle seniors requiring specialized attention. I am adept at handling everything from basic training reinforcement to complex walks and am ready to welcome your beloved dog into my care. 🌟 Why Choose Me? (The Energy Advantage!) The High-Energy Expert: Training for a half marathon means I have miles to burn! If you have a high-octane dog that needs a serious run (not just a walk), I'm your girl. I love giving dogs the focused exercise they need to be happy and well-behaved at home. Experience & Trust: With a background spanning over a decade, I bring a calm, knowledgeable presence. You can trust that I will treat your home and your dog with the utmost respect and care, ensuring their routine is maintained and their safety is always the top priority. Playful & Caring: I believe dog care should be fun! I prioritize not just exercise, but also playtime and cuddles, ensuring your dog feels loved and mentally stimulated while you're away. Services Offered 🏡 House Sitting (Your Home, Their Comfort) I stay in your home, providing around-the-clock companionship and care. This is perfect for dogs who thrive in their own environment. I manage feeding, medications, playtime, walks, and make sure they feel safe and loved until your return. 🚶 Dog Walking (Customized Exercise) From a brisk 30-minute neighborhood walk to a high-intensity run for the athletic pup, I offer personalized exercise designed to match your dog's specific needs and stamina. ⏱️ Drop-In Visits (Quick & Comprehensive) Ideal for quick check-ins, potty breaks, feeding, and a little playtime/snuggle time. I make sure their basic needs are met and they get a happy human interaction to break up their day. I look forward to meeting your furry family member and becoming their trusted caregiver! I work from home so have flexibility to work from anywhere and stop to play/walk/feed/etc. whenever is needed! I run my own consulting business so my hours are my own to build around what is needed and can flex on any given day. I am a loving pet parent myself and will treat your dog just like my own with lots of cuddles, pets and playtime. If they just need someone to be near, I can stay in your home for most of the day and try to keep life as normal for them as possible while you're away. If they crave socialization, I can also bring to play with my 2 year old lab in our fenced in yard, as needed/wanted.

About: My family has owned and cared for animals since I was born. You can say my family and I are animal lovers through and through. Whether it was my first poodle, my wife's rat, yes a rat(Humphrey was his name and she loooooved him), our neighbors goats, or our current duo(Terrier mix and Shichon) we are not complete unless we have a four legged friend or two to take care of. We pride ourselves on the treatment of our family members. We look forward to sharing the love we foster in our home with your loved ones. I work remote during the day and have the ability to plan walks, drop-ins or day sitting. My household is up early and nods of late. Hopefully we can be a good fit. Regardless of location playing fetch, going for a walk or just providing a good scratch on the belly or behind the ear should be expected. I understand the importance of the timeliness of meals, meds, bathroom breaks and exercise take those instructions seriously.

“Olivia was so sweet and communicative; she gave me all the details of my pup’s walk and sent multiple pictures, which I always appreciate. We will definitely be working with Olivia again!”

I’m excited to help others take care of their furry friends! I work remote full-time so my schedule is pretty flexible. Unfortunately my rental does not allow pets, so I cannot have any overnight. But on a case by case basis I can stay at the owners house with pet(s) if needed, or make multiple stops during the day and before bed time. I can take your pet for walks, play fetch with them, feed them, and more. Whatever is needed while you’re gone throughout the day or overnight within reason!
