Caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s how I live. I have pets of my own, so my day naturally revolves around feeding schedules, playtime, walks, and lots of love. Because of that, adding your pet into my routine feels completely seamless. I’m already in the rhythm of giving consistent care and attention, and I truly enjoy every moment of it.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, their comfort and well being are always my top priorities. In my home, I create a safe, clean, and welcoming environment where pets can relax and feel at ease. I stick to their usual routines as closely as possible feeding times, walks, play, and even cuddles so they feel secure and happy. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow your instructions carefully, keeping your pet’s routine, habits, and preferences in mind. I also keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you always know your furry friend is in good hands.

Information Olivia D. would like to know about your pet

Before watching any pet, it’s really important for me to learn about their routines, preferences, and any special needs. I always ask about their feeding schedule, any medications, how they do on walks or around other animals, and what helps them feel comfortable when their owners are away. I also like to know what their favorite toys or activities are, any fears or triggers they might have, and how they usually behave at home. That way, I can make sure they’re as happy and stress-free as possible while their family is away!

A typical day

When I watch pets, I love making sure they feel happy, safe, and entertained. For dogs, I enjoy going on walks, playing fetch, and having fun with their favorite toys. If they like learning, I also do some basic training or tricks for mental stimulation. I also make sure they get plenty of cuddle time (if they’re into that) and keep their routines as normal as possible. Every pet is different, so I always try to match the fun to their personality and energy level!

Your Pups New Best Friend

Pet care experience

I bring a deep love for dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities-paired with hands-on experience that goes beyond basic care. I’ve worked with puppies full of energy, seniors needing a gentle touch, and dogs with medical needs that require extra attention and knowledge. Whether it’s administering medication, recognizing signs of discomfort, or just knowing when a pup needs a little extra love, I treat every dog like my own. This isn’t just a job for me…it’s a passion. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities.
