Availability
I’m fully available on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. From Sunday through Wednesday, I’m happy to help before 11:30 AM and after 4:00 PM. Boarding is still possible on these days if you’re comfortable with a short 4.5-hour break while your pet is alone.

About Oliver C.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a very friendly 1-year-old Golden Retriever who loves keeping other pets company. I also have a large indoor playpen that can be set up if needed. While I prefer to let dogs move freely so they feel comfortable and at home, I do use a few playpen panels in the kitchen doorway to keep dogs out of the kitchen for their safety. I also have a calm, easygoing cat who tends to keep to herself but is friendly and accustomed to being around dogs. Your pet will enjoy multiple walks throughout the day, along with plenty of playtime. We’re lucky to have two large parks just a few blocks away, including one with a fenced area where dogs can safely run and play. I always follow each owner’s preferences, so please let me know your comfort level with park visits or off-leash play, and I’ll adjust accordingly. All interactions are always fully supervised to ensure everyone stays safe, comfortable, and happy.

Information Oliver C. would like to know about your pet
I like to know as much as possible so I can give your pet the best care. Things that are especially helpful: any medical conditions or medications, if they're reactive to people, pets, or noises, and what their favorite activities are. I also appreciate knowing any sensitivities (like food, loud sounds, or handling) so I can keep your pet happy and stress free. Written instructions are always welcome and I will follow them closely.
A typical day
I guarantee your pup will have a fun time with me, whether its for a short walk or a long stay. I will make sure there is a lot of love, playtime, and attention involved.

Safe, Fun Care for Dogs & Cats
Pet care experience
I’ve spent many years caring for animals, including fostering cats and dogs of all ages. Through my fostering experience, I learned how to care for animals with various disabilities and how to properly administer medication to dogs and cats. I have owned dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, and even a cockatoo! I treat pets like they're my own, and their safety always comes first.
Reviews
Oliver was communicative and kind! Bear was a happy guy upon his return.
Oliver was incredibly flexible and responsive!
Oliver is so gentle and kind-hearted! He's always on time, extremely flexible, and perfectly follows instructions. He makes it so easy to leave my dog in his care, and I have full confidence whenever she's with him that she's safe and happy. Her delighted reaction whenever he comes over to pick her up is the only 5⭐ review that anyone will ever need!
Oliver was great! He good good care of my cat Yuki and sent me updates about her too!
