Traveling Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

While you're out of town, keep your furry friends comfortable at home! Our beloved pets can become very stressed in a new environment. I want to help deter that from happening, by staying with your pets in your home while you're away! A little bit about Octavia: My journey of caring for animals started 8 years ago when I began working in the veterinary field as a veterinary assistant. I have experience medicating diabetic animals and dispensing medication in accordance with veterinary prescription. I enjoy volunteering and helping my community. During my internship with Farm Sanctuary in Orland, CA, I worked side-by-side with all farm animals and feel very comfortable caring for these wonderful, hard working beings. I have experience with puppies and those with high anxiety or special needs. In need of a sitter for long periods while you're out of town (2+ weeks and beyond)? I prefer it! Does your dog or cat take oral medication or need injectable medication? I have you covered! Do you have a special needs pet at home that needs some extra love and attention? I have you covered! Are you having a hard time finding care for your snake, hamster, or sugar glider (or any similar creature)? I have you covered! When booking with me, your pet won't go more than 3-4 hours without a potty break. All clients receive daily photo updates via Rover or SMS. I provide customized pet care that outlines my client's needs. I'm here for you and your pet during this time! You can count on top-notch care that's fueled by transparency, honesty, and love.

Octavia was amazing with our dogs! She was professional and made us feel really comfortable right away. We have a Dalmatian and border collie mix and they loved her. We got picture updates and she was really informative and easy to communicate with throughout the rover process. Highly recommend!

Octavia was great with our large yellow lab, and she took great care of our home. We hope to hire her again!

Octavia watched our 7 month old puppy and did a great job! I got daily updates and photos which really helped.

Octavia is simply the best! She’s been my go-to house sitter for my two rambunctious mutts for over a year now and I just can’t say enough good things about her. I’d give her a hundred star review if Rover would let me!
