Treating your babies like my own
Pet care experience
I've taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I have experience with puppies, seniors, and special needs pets and am well versed in managing complex medication schedules. I understand that every fur baby is unique and I take my time to understand them. Whether it's long walks, toy playtime, or couch cuddle sessions, I'm happy to hang out with your pet however they prefer.
Reviews
Ola has been my dog's walker for over a year now. She regularly walks him 2-4x per week depending on my work schedule. She has also helped with doggy daycare when my apartment has been under construction and boarding when I went to vacation. My puppy LOVES Ola and her fur baby (doggy) Donna. It's been such a relief to know my boy is happy, safe, and well cared for every time I have to be away from him. Five stars isn't enough for how wonderful Ola (and Donna) have been to my Apollo. You absolutely want her to take care of your fur baby too!
Ola did a great job walking my dog! He had a good time :-)
Ola was wonderful! She took the way care of our 14 year old Guinness who had so much fun with her. We received regular updates everyday, we couldn’t have been happier, and Guinness loves his stay!
I have known Ola for years and she is one of the only people I trust to walk and check in on my dog. She treats her own dog and every pet she sees with such kindness and love. Ola is a natural with animals and is vigilant with instructions and care. Ola is an ideal Rover walker and caretaker and will treat all the animals like her own.

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a spacious two-bedroom apartment with my Shih Tzu Donna and my husband. We have many baskets of toys and puzzles and live within walking distance of a dog park. Our condo is in a neighborhood so our walks are generally around the neighborhood and the nearby parks. Donna is very friendly if your pet would like to socialize, otherwise, I will separate the dogs into their own spaces. I always separate pets during meal times just to be extra safe. Our nights are typically spent cuddling on the couch and watching a movie.
Home
Information Ola K. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs that I should be aware of. Whether that be medications, allergies, or quirks! (are we afraid of thunderstorms? do we feel safe in a bed or on the couch?) I am happy to accommodate most needs as long as I am aware of them
A typical day
We have a dog park nearby if you are comfortable with those. Otherwise, we have two people parks nearby where we love to people/dog watch and meet friends in a leash-on environment. I also have many types of puzzles and toys for indoor fun and mental stimulation.

Availability
I work from home and set my own schedule, so I spend most of my day with my little lady Shih Tzu. We typically go on three structured walks a day plus a potty break before bed. My previous dog was a senior with complex medical needs, so I am well versed in planning my schedule around a pet's needs.
