Pet care experience

Happy Dogs, Safe & Loved

I’ve had dogs for over 23 years and love caring for pups of all ages—from playful puppies to calm seniors. I’m experienced, reliable, and always attentive to your dog’s routine and personality. Whether your dog needs long walks, playtime, medication, or just lots of love and snuggles, I’m here to help them feel safe, happy, and at home while you're away.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space and routines with the utmost respect. I make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and loved while keeping their schedule consistent—mealtimes, walks, play, and quiet time included. I’m tidy, dependable, and communicative, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing while you’re away. I try to add special touches like rinsing out wet food cans so they don't stink up the house, and taking the trash out if it's full. I'll always refill doggy water after we've gone for a walk, and am happy to take lots of pictures for you while you're away.

Octavia took great care of our 2 cats while we were in a quick trip. Great communication and went above and beyond taking care of little things too! Would definitely recommend Octavia!

Octavia was a fabulous walker! She was on time, attentive, wrote through notes, took many walks, did double potty breaks in a visit and more. We are so appreciative of her care for our old girl. We would recommend her.

Octavia was great with my dog Clara! She has separation anxiety and I was so nervous leaving her the first time but Octavia was patient and loving to my girl and we had a great success.

Octavia was wonderful! Super easy to work with. Was able to accommodate a last minute booking and took great care of my boys. She sent me a bunch of pictures and always wrote an in depth summary of her visit. The boys seemed to love their time with her. Will definitely look to book with her again in the future.

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my day. I work part-time from home and homeschool my child, which means I’m home often and have a very flexible schedule. I’m able to give your pet plenty of attention, keep them company throughout the day, and stick to their usual routine. Whether it's walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I’m here when your pet needs me most.
