I am a cat and dog purrson.
Pet care experience
From an early age, I was taught that dog spelled backwards is “God.” Animals hold a special place in my heart. With 10+ years of pet care experience, you can count on me to ensure the safety and well-being of your beloved pet. In middle school, I started my own dog walking company called "Gigi's Dog-Walking Service," offering daily walks and house sits to fellow residents. While attending University of San Francisco in 2015, I worked with WAG for over twenty families. Since then, I have lived with dogs, snakes, cats, and horses. Ever since I can remember, animals have played an essential role in my life. I am currently available for house/dog sitting, walking, drop-ins, and kitty care.
Reviews
Ovi’s genuine love for animals, warm approach and gentle demeanor truly sets her apart. She goes above and beyond to ensure every animal receives the best possible care, and gets regular exercise and playtime. She is a very respectful and clean guest, very communicative and will ensure you feel at ease leaving your pet in her care. I’d highly recommend Ovi if you are in need of someone you can trust to watch over your beloved pets
Ovi was the best pet sitter that one could dream of. She took wonderful care of our baby with a truly caring heart. She was incredibly thoughtful and responsive, not to mention our house was clean as a whistle! Can’t recommend highly enough.
I promise you can feel right at ease leaving your furry friend in the care of Ovi. She is responsible, professional and dedicated to the work and it will show through her immediate connection she has with your pets (especially dogs). You will never have to worry that your pet feels safe, nurtured, and happy in her care. I would recommend Ovi to anyone in need of a reliable pet sitter!
Ovi is a STAR! Her gentility and calm demeanor instantly put our pup, Sasha, at ease. Sasha is 10+ yrs old and doesn't love to be away from her humans - we are very discerning when leaving Sasha in the care of others. We couldn't be more thrilled to have discovered Ovi, who is an excellent communicator - sending daily updates and photos - and mindful caregiver, taking Sasha exploring on walks. Sasha was so peaceful and calm when we returned, clearly loved and cared for. Additionally, Ovi stayed in our home to dog-sit and it was in pristine shape with welcoming lights on to greet us upon return. If possible, I'd give Ovi 10 stars!! Beyond pleased to welcome Ovi to our Sasha-loving family and will absolutely re-book.

Safety, trust & environment
Keeping your pet safe is my first priority. I consistently follow necessary protocol such as checking fence gates before letting your dog outside, locking doors, making sure I don’t step outside without a key, and doing a final check that things are in order before leaving your home. My preference is to leave your home in a better condition than when I found it.
Information Claudia "Ovi" T. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, and whether or not they are friendly with other dogs or children. Help me to understand if they are occasionally erratic or have aggressive tendencies, as well as their level of training which includes being potty trained. If your dog is prone to pulling the leash or running when they see other animals, please let me know about that. Any important information about your pet's behavior, positive or negative, is very much welcome and appreciated.
A typical day
Let's take a stroll around your neighborhood and/or play fetch in the backyard! Having a designated place to run around is always a plus. I enjoy finding ways to make sure your dog gets a healthy amount of exercise and feels well taken care of.
