Understanding Every Pet
Hello! My name is Olivia, I’m an experienced and compassionate pet caregiver with a lifelong love for animals. I walk around 15,000 steps a day, so I have no issue keeping up with active animals! I have two cats of my own and have fostered dogs of all sizes and personalities, from big to small ones. Through my experience and extensive research, I am very knowledgeable about pet body language and how to safely and calmly handle animals in a variety of situations. This also includes not being scared of them and knowing when animals are just trying to play! I am comfortable with caring for less traditional pets as well, including bunnies, reptiles, or other small animals. I’m not shy with the more gross parts of pet care such as accidents, vomit, pee, all kinds of messes are part of caring for animals and it’s something I’m comfortable to do! I’m happy to help your pet and make sure they’re comfortable and cared for. I believe every animal deserves patience, understanding, and love. Behavior is a form of communication and even when a pet is scared, anxious, reactive, or difficult, there is always a reason behind it and I take time to understand that reason, and meet each animal where they are. My Goal is to make every pet feel safe, respected, loved and comfortable while in my care!

Safety, trust & environment
I do my best to keep the pets normal routine and make them feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I take time to learn each pets personality, preferences, habits, and boundaries, so I can care for them in the way that works best for them. I’m very patient and adaptable, I am also creative when a pet is hesitant or difficult to work with. If I need to distract a pet, redirect their attention, get them to take something they don’t want to take, or encourage them to do something they don’t want to do, I am good at finding solutions that work with their personality, rather than forcing them. After learning an animal’s behaviors and personality, I usually adjust my approach based on that. I’m happy to follow their lead and make sure they get the appropriate amount of exercise, enrichment, affection, and downtime. I also make it a point to keep the home clean and treat it with the same respect I would my own. I’m happy to clean up accidents or messes and make sure everything is in order when I leave. I keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.
Ratings and reviews
Olivia is an absolutely wonderful person! She’s caring, reliable, communicative, and has a very strong love for animals. I always felt completely confident knowing that my pet was in her care. She goes above and beyond, gives frequent updates, and treats my pet like one of her own. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter and would happily and highly recommend Olivia to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and exceptional!

I currently work part-time and go to school part-time. My school schedule is currently Mondays from 10:45 am-12:05 pm, and Wednesdays from 10:45am - 12:05pm, as well as 3:15 pm - 4:35 pm. For my work schedule, my start times vary from 3pm to 6pm, and I consistently get Tuesdays & Thursdays off. 7 am is my usual wake up time, so I have a lot of time throughout the week to care for your animals!
