Experienced Compassionate Caretaker
Pet care experience
My entire life I've been surrounded by animals– my family's yellow labs (all trained from puppy-hood), my horses that I've managed and loved largely by myself since age eleven, chickens that my sister and I solely cared for, and now my mom's Angora goats on our farm (guarded by our now-enormous Great Pyrenees). In addition to personal experience, I worked for a pet care business in my last two years of high school. I managed multiple clients, walking, exercising and adventuring with dogs daily while also house-sitting for dogs, cats, chickens, and small pets on the weekends. It was an extremely rewarding and enjoyable part of my life and I am beyond excited to care for beloved pets while I continue my studies at UVM!
Reviews
Layla has stayed with Olivia twice now for two separate weeks. Olivia has been super flexible with drop off and pick up times, which is nice when travel plans aren't firm at the beginning of the week. Layla is now just as excited for vacation as we are. Olivia does a great job following the schedule/structure we have in place for her, so she's (nearly) as good at remembering her manners when she comes home as when we dropped her off.
Olivia was great. She was very flexible and willing to make our lives easy when it came to babysitting our pup for the weekend. I could tell when I picked Doug up he was happy and had been in good hands. We will definitely be reaching out to her again for future babysitting opportunities!
Olivia is great. She came and met Lennon and I walked her through the routine. She always sends great summaries and photos, so I know he is in good hands. He loves her visits and we will definitely use her in the future.
Olivia was great! At the meet and greet, she was likable, friendly, nice and an obvious animal person (Igor also liked her). I got an update and photos of her walk with Igor. She walked Igor in a heel like we asked, since he is in training. Olivia also closed our gate when she left and even folded Igor's jacket afterward...it's the little things! I think she was a great find, it was my first time using Rover and I'll be using her again.

Information Olivia G. would like to know about your pet
If possible, I'd love to know their general temperament, any fears they have, what they love/hate (toys, treats, sounds, places, people), where they like to sleep, the extent of their training (sit, stay, come, leave it– basic safety commands), and how they are with other animals (important for encounters with other dogs on walks or excursions!).
A typical day
I've gone on backyard romps, neighborhood walks, trips to local dog parks, and adventures on wooded trails in the past– and would love to meet new pups and go on similar outings!
