WFH girl seeking long dog walks
Pet care experience
I’m not currently in a position to have a dog at my house so I’d love to take care of yours! My family had dogs for many years and I also have helped care for friends pets as well. I have experience with small dogs like a Cairn Terrier and large dogs like a Chocolate Lab - and everything in between. Most of that work has been in home dog sitting and dog walking. I love getting the opportunity to take my dad’s dog to the dog park - it’s her favorite place! I also have cared for senior dogs and I love to hang out on the couch with them. I have puppy experience but I do require that they’re potty trained and good on walks. I also have cat experience! I’ve had cats for most of my life, I’m now the owner of a sweet black cat Nyx. If I were to point out any flaws in my dog sitting skills, it would be that I let good doggies onto the couch when they’re not supposed to - but only as a treat (;
Reviews
Olivia stayed with my pups for 2 days while I was working long hours. My pups were well cared for and seemed to really enjoy her being around! She sent photos and updates, which was much appreciated. We hope to use Olivia in the future for dog sitting!
Olivia was great and very flexible with a last minute request. She provided photos and updates during her drop-in visits. She was punctual and very patient with my rambunctious puppy and older protective dog. Highly recommend her as a sitter and for drop-in visits!
Olivia was great - super responsive and sent lots of pictures which was great while I was out of town.
I always appreciate the notes about the walks!
About Olivia B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I love to start by making sure pets have everything they need - food, water, and a clean litter box if applicable. If I’m greeted by pets at the door I start with a meet and greet - letting them sniff my hand and letting your pet. After that I let the pet dictate what’s next - whether it’s a quick trip outside to use the bathroom, a longer walk to burn up energy, indoor playtime, or just snuggle time!
Information Olivia B. would like to know about your pet
I’d love to know about your pets personality! If they’re shy or outgoing and particularly how they do with meeting other dogs. If they need to keep their distance or if they love to say hello! Info about their diet & any allergies is also extremely helpful for giving out treats. I also need to know how your pet does with new people, on walks, and if they’re house trained.
A typical day
I love to take dogs to a dog park if they’re nearby! I always keep an eye on them in case they get into trouble. Otherwise I love a long walk through a neighborhood or park. I like to bring some toys with if we’re in a place they can be off leash. Most days, if I’m working, I love to hang out the couch with pets.

Availability
I work full time but mainly from home. I like to go into the office on Wednesdays but I’m flexible about that. I have plenty time to take your pet for a walk or run over for some care - no matter the weather. I can also work from your home if needed!
