Availability
I work from home on Monday Wednesday and Friday, and I am off on Saturdays and Sundays, so I have plenty of flexibility for walks and drop ins. I have parks close by which makes it easy to take dogs out multiple times a day. I can fit walks around your dogs usual routine and I am happy to work with whatever times suit you best.

A typical day
A typical day with me and Barry starts with a walk to the park, usually changing up the route so dogs can enjoy new smells and new surroundings. We can walk in a secure dog park or explore the woods nearby, like Esher. Barry loves swimming in rivers or lakes, so we like to find somewhere for a little swim and I don’t mind them getting a bit mucky and will give them a good wash. I also like to include a bit of light training once they have burnt off some energy. After our morning adventures we head home for breakfast, followed by a nap and some quiet time to relax. Later in the day we might go on a short leashed walk around the area or pop to the park again if needed, before returning home for dinner and more chill time. The area is really quiet and peaceful, which makes it a calm and safe environment for dogs to enjoy.

Pet care experience
Hi I am Olivia and this is Barry my two year old Labrador. He is a calm and friendly dog who gets on well with everyone and is always happy to have company. I have grown up with dogs my whole life, from Newfoundlands to French Bulldogs, so I am comfortable with all sizes and all temperaments. I work from home a few days a week which gives me plenty of time and flexibility for walks and drop ins. We live in a secure flat and I drive so travelling is not a problem. I have a real interest in puppy training and understanding dog behaviour, and my long term goal is to become a dog trainer. I am always learning and practising positive training methods with Barry and I enjoy helping pups feel confident and calm. I am a patient and caring person and I will always treat your dog with the same attention and respect I give my own. Barry is castrated and well mannered, so he is a great companion for dogs who like having a friend on their walks. I am looking forward to meeting your dog and helping make your day a little easier.
Reviews
There aren’t a lot of times that I have genuinely felt so comfortable leaving my furbaby with a sitter, as I did when leaving Marshall (5 month old golden retriever) with Olivia. She is clearly a natural with dogs, having one of her own! Olivia is excellent with communication and sending updates, takes extra care to make sure the doggos are happy and safe. I am grateful to have found her to look after Marshall and would not hesitate to ask her to have him again :)
Olivia was great with Sully and he had a lovely 1st walk with Barry. We will 100% ask Olivia to look after Sully again in the future!
Olivia is probably the biggest animal lover I know! She has 3 dogs and they are all definitely very loved and well looked after. Your dog will be in very safe hands with her!
I have known Olivia for almost 15 years and she is a very friendly, trustworthy person. She absolutely loves dogs and is great with them - they always respond well to her and gravitate towards her. Olivia is reliable and extremely caring and would be a great dog sitter for your dog. She has always grown up with dogs so understands them well and would give your dog the care they need. I could not recommend her enough!
