Pet care experience
Hi I'm Liv! Over the years, I've had the privilege of caring for a diverse array of pets – from playful pups to sophisticated seniors, cats, birds, exotics consisting of chinchillas, snakes, guinea pigs, turtles, lizards and more. I understand that each pet is an individual with distinct needs. Whether it's a game of fetch, interactive play with your whiskered fur babies, dropping a visit to make sure everybody's got a happy belly, or simply just providing a calming presence, I ensure you they will feel secure, happy, and loved under my care. Older pets hold a special place in my heart, as I understand the nuanced care they often require. Whether it's helping administer medication, accommodating slower walks, or providing extra cuddle time. **** Or a nice stroll! I will ask to please let me know in advance if your pup is good on a leash! before accepting (just so there's no inconvenience for you!) I myself of am short stature (4'2). If they happen to be of decent size 40 pounds and up and tend to get pretty rambunctious I may not be handle them to the best of my ability (hence the weight limit) . Otherwise if they like to stroll, the size does not matter, we are absolutely golden! :) Transparency is key. I believe in open communication with pet parents. Giving regular updates and photos, so your mind can be at ease knowing how your furry friend is doing.
Reviews
We were very thankful to have Olivia watch our dog Milo! She was very attentive, following all instructions very closely and giving lots of updates with pictures. Thank you Olivia!
Olivia house sits for me when I have to travel for about two years now. She spends time with my dog so he is not alone, plays with him in the yard, feeds him according to schedule and Festus just adores her. When I used to drop Festus off for daycare, I didn't know he spends most of the day in a crate and was only getting 45 minutes of socialization. I have my own crate so why would I pay for someone to crate him? I feel I get my money's worth when she sits with him, as he is not crated, he is played with and socialized.

Unfortunately at the moment, I do not have the option to sit/board at my own home. As I have a couple of whiskered fur babies of my own who aren't the fondest of sharing their space.

Availability
Working remotely allows me the opportunity of being able to drop in at any given point during the day. I'm generally available 7 days a week from 9am to 11pm unless I need to be called in for work or if something has come up where my presence is needed/ emergencies. I will usually have a day's notice at least if anything were to pop up!
