Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring & Experienced Sitter
I’ve been caring for my own dogs my whole life and started pet sitting for others when I was 13. Over the years I’ve gained experience with animals of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, and everything in between. In addition to dogs, I also have experience looking after cats, birds, and even horses. I’m attentive, responsible, and always aim to make pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m happy to follow each pet’s routine, provide plenty of playtime and exercise, and keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Olivia cared very well for our cat and dog for the five days we were away. She came by before the date of our departure to meet our pets and learn the details of their care. She kept us updated on how they were doing during the trip and was easy to communicate with. We’d definitely have her take care of our pets again. Thanks Olivia!
Olivia is one of the most hardworking and responsible people I know. I have worked with her in childcare and seen firsthand the intentionality and care she gives each child. She ensures they feel valued and have all of their needs met, and she does the exact same for animals in her care. I've seen her care for dogs, chickens, birds, bunnies, and horses with ease. She loves her own dogs and bird so much and cares for other animals like they are her own. If I needed someone to help with my cats, she would be the first person I'd call.
Olivia would be a great fit for this job, as she has been a pet owner herself with two birds and two dogs that she wholeheartedly cares for and treats like her kids. I have no doubt in my mind that she would excel in this position/field. All in all I believe that her experience is key in being able to appropriately handle this job. 100% Recommend her for this job!
Olivia is incredibly responsible and reliable, and her love for animals is obvious in the way she cares for them. She always puts their needs first and treats every pet with patience, kindness, and attention. You can trust that she will care for your pets as if they were her own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well loved while you’re away.
Olivia is incredible with animals. She is always prompt in feeding, and gives pets her utmost attention. She is very responsible and has great attention to detail. She genuinely cares for animals and is a great choice for animal care.
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I am currently working full-time during the week, but am available all weekend for pet care! Since moving to Valencia, I have missed my fur babies back in the States, so anytime I can get loving on pet friends will be treasured & prioritized! I am also available most weekday evenings after 7pm.
Where your pet will stay
Safety, trust & environment
In a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their pet’s routine to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. I provide regular feeding, exercise, and playtime tailored to each pet’s needs. I also focus on creating a safe environment by keeping hazards out of reach and ensuring all doors and gates are secure. For dogs, I incorporate daily walks and training exercises, while for birds, I ensure they have engaging toys and social interaction. I make it a point to communicate with the pet owners, providing updates and photos to keep them informed and at ease. My goal is to treat each pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive the highest level of care and affection.
A typical day
When pet sitting, I prioritize engaging activities tailored to each pet’s personality and energy level. For active dogs, we’ll enjoy long walks, fetch games in the park, and even agility exercises if they’re up for it. With more laid-back dogs, I’ll incorporate gentle strolls and lots of cuddle time. For cats, I’ll use interactive toys to encourage play, set up climbing challenges, and provide cozy spots for napping. I also love to spend time simply sitting with them, giving attention and affection. Overall, I ensure each pet feels loved and entertained, keeping their routines in mind for a comfortable and enjoyable experience.
