Oliver can care for
Availability
I work at a veterinary hospital, my usual hours are 11am - 7pm on weekdays. If I’m doing house-sitting, I can spend most of my time at your place with your pets on days when I don’t work, and on days when I do work, I can drop by during my work day!

About Oliver W.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I can’t have pets over at my house, but I’ll have plenty of time to hang out at yours! Unless we’re in a fenced in area and I have permission, I’ll have dogs on leash. I’m an expert at making sure cats don’t run out when opening the door (I’ve had cats since I was a baby). I understand it can take time for animals to trust strangers, so for overnight stays I prefer to meet and greet beforehand if possible so it’s not upsetting to your pet when a stranger opens the door. Even if cats are allowed outside, I’d much prefer to keep them indoors while I’m with them.
Information Oliver W. would like to know about your pet
I always like to know a couple things: how does your dog/cat get along with other animals, adults, and children. If/when they need medication and what specific signs to look out for in case of a medical emergency if they have a condition. Please also inform your veterinary hospital that I will be taking care of your pet in case of an emergency where I would need to bring them to the hospital. Thank you!
A typical day
We can go to dog parks, play fetch, hikes, and pal around with doggy friends! Let me know if you have any suggestions! My golden retriever loves to play with other dogs (and cats), so if you’re comfortable with that, I can bring him over for a play date or walk.

Pet care experience
I’m non-binary (I don’t specifically identify as a male or female) and I use any pronoun. He/she/they are all fine. I've done pet care for quite some time!I helped rehabilitate pit bulls in a rescue program for about six months, it was one of my favorite experiences. I love all types of animals! I've got a golden retriever and three cats as well! I'm always up for a challenge and ready to help you and your dog(s). I have other experience as well (I’ve owned multiple snakes, fish, lizards, and geckos). I'm timely and will do my best to answer any questions you might have. I can administer medications and can help with your animal. My experience with animals has always been a blessing and I hope that I can help your furry family out! I have my own car for reliable transportation.
Cat care experience
Oliver also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Thank you for always being so mindful with oir cats!!
Oliver takes care of our 2 cats whenever we’re out of town, since 2021. We feel very comfortable knowing Oliver will be here - our cats are happy with them and so are we!! Highly recommended.
Oliver is kind, flexible, and easy to work with! I’ve appreciated their communication and I always feel comfortable leaving my cats in their care.
Second time Oliver has watched my cats and the consistency of care is fantastic 💕 Will be booking again!
