Caring & responsible dog owner here to help
Pet care experience
I’m a fellow dog owner & lover, and I look forward to supporting you in looking after yours. I’m highly empathetic, caring and responsible. Providing your pup with a safe, comfortable and enjoyable environment with lots of affection is key to me. I have loved developing my understanding of dogs ever since I trained my own from 8 weeks old, so I can match or balance their energy and respond to their needs. I have completed a pet first aid course and am currently studying canine communication.
Reviews
I can't thank Liv, Spencer and Wally enough for looking after our boy for us. He was so well cared for and we got so many lovely pics and vids. Liv really wanted to know Rus likes and dislikes and commands etc we use and then kept this consistent during his weekend with them. Thank you
Olivia took great care of our pup Ralph, she’s very welcoming and friendly and ensured that Ralph was made to feel at home. Our dog is naturally quite anxious in new environments with new people, but we knew that he was being well looked after at all times. We received lots of pupdates during his stay and it was great that he got on so well with Wally. He was absolutely exhausted when he came home after hours of them playing together! ☺️
Liv, Spencer, and Wally are great! We were looking for a new local daycare for our Boston Terrier and meeting Liv automatically put us at ease. Quick communication and at the initial meet and greet Liv asked lots of questions, and we quickly knew that Luna would be comfortable and well taken care of. Luna really enjoys her time at Liv's and absolutely loves having Wally to play with. Luna isn't the easiest of dogs but we're so happy with how well she has settled with Liv, Spencer and Wally; a real home away from home.
I have a very needy loving cocker spaniel Ralph who absolutely loves staying with Olivia. She gives him lots of cuddles and takes him on long walks to satisfy his need to smell everything. I feel very happy to know she is taking care of him when I am away. He really enjoys his time with her and I am relaxed knowing he is there. I would pass her details on to anyone that asked

Safety, trust & environment
In terms of your dog’s safety, I am DBS checked and have a pet first aid certificate. When I meet you & your dog, I’ll approach them calmly so I can get to know them and what they need from me. We can introduce Spencer and then Wally, if the type of dog minding you require means they’ll be socialising. I will always follow your guidelines for diet and medication, if they struggle with separation anxiety or socialising, and other things like being on the sofa/bed and receiving treats. I will also always walk your dog on lead unless you specify otherwise and once we have bonded through several comfortable on-lead walks. At home, I have a stair gate to keep your dog from going upstairs depending on your preference / their level of training. If needed, I have both a car seat and a seat belt for small to medium dogs in my car, and a rucksack to carry small dogs & puppies. And of course, I will keep you updated on how your dog is doing by sharing photos & videos of our time together!

Information Olivia A. would like to know about your pet
- Personality and behavioural quirks; likes, dislikes, such as their favourite toys and games - Any specific needs regarding their health, routine and training, e.g. any allergies and medication, commands that they respond to, treats, behaviour you want to avoid, items/areas of the house you want to keep them away from - Emergency contact info including vet
A typical day
I’m a very active person who needs my daily exercise just as much as your pup! I love to be outdoors and have no problem with long walks or multiple walks a day. Your dog can engage their nose while exploring the forest and chase after their favourite ball. At home, we can play indoors and outdoors, with games like hide & seek with their toys and sniffing things out in the garden.

Availability
I’m home full time and am totally flexible. I’m available to take your dog out for their walks, pop in and keep them company, or host them in the home that I share with my partner, Spencer, and our miniature sausage, Wally, for daycare or overnight stays. Spencer works from home and grew up with dogs (we regularly look after family members’ dogs too), so you can be assured that your dog is not only in experienced hands, they would have constant supervision should I need to pop out, and we can maintain their routines as if they were at home. We are childfree which reduces noise and stress in the environment. I’m a very active person who needs my daily exercise as much as your dog! I’m grateful to live with Epping Forest on my doorstep and the golf course, where your dog and I can adventure. At home I have a fenced garden and lots of toys, so plenty of options for exercise and play whatever the weather. I can care for your dog on their own or have them socialise with Wally, who is a very friendly, playful and well trained pup with no resource guarding issues.
