About Olivia B.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I only offer care for pets in my client's home. I am willing to house sit alongside pet sitting (and will take care of any additional housework that you need to be done-such as watering/weeding plants, cleaning, bringing in mail). I love cuddling with the pets I take care of and have no problem with sleeping with them to prevent them from getting anxious at night. I will make sure to walk pets everyday, follow dietary restrictions, and follow any specific routines. I would be happy to help with training as well. When I am pet sitting I often send photos to the owners to let them know how everything is going at home :)
Information Olivia B. would like to know about your pet
I want to know if there are any dietary restrictions or allergies that I need to be aware of. I also need to know if the pet has any visual/hearing impairments so that I can best know how to engage with the pet. If there is any specific times for a routine (especially in regards to a set time for oral medication distribution). It would also be helpful to know how the pet responds to strangers so I can be prepared for any anxiety or possible hostility and can work on overcoming that.
A typical day
Walks (I am willing to drive dogs to a better walking location if there is not one nearby). For cats I like to hide catnip in toys while I play with them. Fetch for retrievers. For hounds I think a good enrichment activity would be hiding treats inside of a toy and putting it in different locations for them to find. My family dog liked to play tug of war and chase her chew toy around the house (5 pound Maltese). I like to take lots of photos of all types of animals and I will be happy to send any photos I take of your pet :)

A Cat and a Dog Person
Pet care experience
I helped raise the family dog (5 pound Maltese) and took care of her throughout her puppy years and senior years. I helped potty train her and taught her basic tricks (such as how to sit). I groomed her, took her on walks, and would carry her when walking became too tiring for her. I also administered medication during her senior years. I have watched over the pets of family friends and neighbors. Some of these instances include: a household of 1 medium sized dog, 1 cat, and 1 turtle; a senior medium sized poodle that was partially deaf and blind; a large boxer; a household of 2 cats. I have experience with cat and dog care. For cat care I have experience with nail trimming and litter box cleaning as well as medication administration.

Reviews
We have a very anxious dog but after we were gone for a day I knew I didn’t have to worry. Olivia was always in touch with me and sent many pictures. She has just the right demeanor for anxious dogs and Phoebe took to her quickly. Giving meds and dealing with Phoebe’s different foods and odd schedule was not a problem for Olivia. The house was left clean and she even cleaned the bathroom! Would use her again when she’s not in school. We were gone 5 days and all was well when we came back. Thanks Olivia!
Olivia is absolutely wonderful. She has dog/house sat for us many times and is great at communicating while we are away. Highly recommend Olivia!
Olivia is the best! We trust her and she makes Milo (our dog) smile and sneeze! That is his love language ❤️would highly recommend her!
Olivia helped us thru a time when one spouse was travelling extensively and the other was working full time and we had a new puppy who was not yet ready to stay alone. She took great care, was always on time, and was a delight to work with. We recommend her to anyone with pet needs and will certainly use her as a sitter in the future.
