Animal lover, helpful, and friendly
Pet care experience
I’m very hands on and love animals with a passion! I am an avid animal lover that has fostered, rescued, and raised animals like dogs, cats, and even squirrels! I’m very active so I love to play and help your animals use up a lot of their energy. I am willing to run/walk dogs and cats and will provide extra care if asked. Good at cleaning and grooming as well as picking up after animals if desired. I’m very friendly and patient so young animals are welcomed. I’m very good about watching dogs/Cats behavior and knowing what they need, like going outside. I understand that your animals are a huge priority to you and I’m willing to provide them with loving care when you need my assistance. I have owned rescue dogs and cats so I understand that the needs of every dog/cat is very different and I will be dedicated to understanding your animal. I would love to be your next sitter or walker for your animals :)
Reviews
Olivia was awesome! She texted pictures and updates a couple times a day which definitely made us feel comfortable that our dogs were in great hands. She also goes the extra
Olivia is our go-to sitter when we need someone to stay overnight with our dog. We’ve used her 3 times and will definitely ask her to watch him again.
Olivia has a gentle way with animals and she runs with my dog, giving her much needed exercise. We can go to work and know the dog will be well cared for in our absence.
This was our second time having Olivia watch Sammy and we wouldn’t hesitate to have her back the next time Sammy needs a sitter. She’s so great with him, shows patience when his behavior isn’t perfect, and we felt we could completely relax on vacation knowing she was taking care of our dog.

Safety, trust & environment
Pets feels the safest at their own home environment which is why I choose to sit at peoples homes. Having a stranger come in is not an easy adjustment for many animals so allowing them space and time to get to know me, is usually the approach that works best! I have worked with many animals that require special tools like harnesses and muzzles and animals that require medication or calming moments for anxiety or reactivity. I make sure that not only your pet, but you feel safe leaving them in my hands!
Information Olivia H. would like to know about your pet
I am not allergic to any animals so any breed is acceptable for me to work with. I like to get to know the dogs personality as they are all different. I’ve worked with rescue dogs as well so I understand how to calm a dog and be gentle with their feelings.
A typical day
I love to play with dogs, running around or playing tug of war. I love to walk dogs and occasionally run with them as well!
