I am currently in school and have classes Monday until 12pm and Wednesday all day. Other than Monday and Wednesday I have plenty of time to walk, play, and check in on dogs. I also am available to stay overnight for any duration of time. I have found letting dogs stay in their home with their routine reduces almost all the stress of their favorite people being away.

Information Olivia C. would like to know about your pet
I have worked with lots of dogs and many who were in the shelter so didn't have anyone to tell me about them. I am flexible with behaviors and can read body language well.
A typical day
I think mental stimulation is important as physical stimulation. I know dogs love to smell all kinds of things so on walks or runs I wait for them to be finished sniffing before we move on. I have a few dog treat puzzles I find that a lot of the dogs I take care of love doing the puzzles. It is also very exciting once they figure it out and become a puzzle master. I always wash the puzzles so no germs would ever be shared. My neighbor use to have a border collie so I can throw a tennis ball for hours.

Pet care experience
I've taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was 10. I used to walk my neighbors dogs locally and throughout the years I have taken care of all kinds of dogs. Specifically large breeds. Some of the dogs I have taken care of include, an 8 month old Cane Corso and a 1 year old Staffordshire in the same house, two Italian Marmmano (livestock guardians) and their goats, bully breeds, golden doodles and golden retrievers. I currently have 2 senior pitbulls, one of which takes medication twice a day because of a past head injury. At my college I worked and lived on my school farm. I was working around the clock caring for our cattle, pigs, sheep, and dogs. I worked in the kennels for 2 years where I walked and trained many shelter dogs from litters of puppies to senior dogs. I'd invite dogs in my trailer to work on house training which gave them a better chance at finding homes, and many did. More of my responsibilities on the farm included assisting in the birthing of cattle, sheep, and pigs and doing various medical procedures when needed. My background is mainly in raising livestock. I started in a youth organization (4H) when I was 10 where I've owned and trained all my own show animals that include goats, sheep, pigs, cattle, chickens, turkeys, and rabbits. In highschool I was part of FFA (Future Farmers of America) and I became the president of my FFA Chapter. I also have 10 years of horse experience and take care of multiple people's horses on a regular basis. I not only work with large animals but I have experience caring for birds like finches, cockatiels, and parrots. I am currently studying Animal Science and would like to become a veterinarian. I have a strong passion for animals since I was 10 and that is why I want to continue to devote my life to taking care of them.

Reviews
Olivia saved us when we had another pet sitter cancel on us, mid-booking! She was flexible and was ok with me walking her through everything over the phone since we had already left town. She is very responsible and a great communicator, sending us lots of photos and updating us on how our pets were doing. She took excellent care of our pets and home, and we look forward to booking her for more pet care in the future!
