Pet care experience
Quality caretaker and enthusiastic attention giver with boots made for walking. I’ve been running around with dogs since before I can remember and have experience working with a varied range of personalities, temperaments, and needs - at all stages of life. Books currently open!
Reviews
Olivia and Susie had a great time together. I know that I can rely on Olivia to take very good care of Susie.
Olivia has been my go-to pet sitter for over three years. I have two dogs and two cats, and Olivia stays at my house with them whenever I'm away. I can trust her to keep up with their dietary, exercise, and play needs, and all of my animals adore her. And again, I have four animals: an elderly dog who is 15-years-old and 70+ pounds, an energetic Austrailian Shepard mix who is 8-years-old, a 3-year-old cat, and a 1-year-old kitten. All of my animals have different diets, and one of my dogs has a physical defect which requires medicine to treat. Olivia has proven to be knowledgeable and competent in regards to caring for my small herd. She sends me updates and pictures of my animals while I'm away. And my standoffish pets who don't like strangers - the elderly dog and my male cat - have grown to be comfortable and trusting around her. They're always excited and don't hide away when she visits my house. Olivia loves animals, she's great at caring for them, and it shows.
Olivia D. was number one on our list whenever we needed someone to take care of our dog, Strider. Others I know routinely call on her to sit with or walk their pets. Olivia gets to know the personalities of the animals she spends time with. She is their watchful and upbeat companion and uses guidance that is calm and consistent. Our dog Strider was always a happy boy after being with Olivia.

I can provide both drop-in & overnight in-home care at this time. Comfortable walking, feeding, teaching, playing, or simply providing regular affection and companionship. Love to go on more involved adventures - just let me know what you’re looking for and we can see if it is a good fit!
Information Olivia D. would like to know about your pet
I love working with all dogs - no breed requirements or qualifying temperaments, though I do ask that larger dogs wear a harness in order to prevent walk-related accidents. If your dog is high-anxiety or otherwise has particular needs which I should take into consideration just let me know ahead of time so I can anticipate certain behaviors and provide appropriate care accordingly.
A typical day
I’m a walker by nature, so spending time with dogs is a natural outlet for that energy - my steps per day is probably insane by a lot of people’s standard, but it’s what makes me happy. Also love to play all the games, teach all the words, or just read on the couch for a bit for the quieter crowd.

Availability
My schedule is open, available for both short and long-term care but ideally seeking to provide care for candidates who would like to build an established rapport with consistent routine.
