Dogs are people too

Pet care experience

I've grown up with dogs, and currently my wife and I have a wonderful little 8lb mutt and a loud siamese cat. I have extensive experience dogsitting (Dollops, the labradoodle in my profile pic, is a frequent guest) and I love nothing better than spending time with animals. We have a large single-floor house in a multifamily home, with plenty of room for dogs to galavant and play. I think walks are extremely important for the health and happiness of dogs, and I make sure to get outside with my dog at least two times a day. I work from home and so I can spend lots of quality time with your dog, playing, walking, or just hanging out. Rules are also important, so if you have particular do's and don'ts for your dog, I'll be happy to respect and enforce them!

Olin has been dropping in on our young pup who's still learning the rules, and has been really great. I appreciate the notes and (many!) photos he provides. It makes me feel better about not being home myself. We plan to continue booking with Olin, and recommend him for your furbaby needs!

Olin and his wife Patricia are two of the most dedicated pet owners I have ever known. They love their own pets with all their hearts, and will surely do the same to yours. They are also among the most responsible people I know. You will feel lucky to know them!

Olin has been helping look after my dog, Sven, for the last 4/5 years. He is attentive, responsible, and very caring to the needs of the animals. Sven is a little neurotic when not with his main human, but Olin welcomes him into his home and reassures his anxious little heart! I know Olin's animals at home are both rescues, and were animals once considered 'behaviourally challenged' - but Olin, and his wife, both have the ability to look past animals who are not in their finest moments, whether they are stressed or scared, and find their good side. Olin will make sure your doggo eats on time, has approved of treats, gets any needed medicine, and receives plenty of exercise, walks, play time, and cuddles afterwards! Bringing comfort, care, and owner requests into the picture, you couldn't find a better pet sitter to care for your babies.

Olin is patient and kind with every dog he encounters. He is responsible and trustworthy, and always up for a walk. My dog loves him!
