Pet care experience

Growing up with different kinds of rescued animals in my family not only helped me gain the respect and the insight of how unique, loving, and extraordinary our furry family members can be, but also fueled my love and passion for keeping them all happy, healthy, and well-adjusted. Because of these special interactions I’ve been able to experience, it has inspired me to start my veterinarian technologist training! As far as my background goes, I’ve taken care of my cats as well as my neighbors’ and family members’ cats and dogs while I was growing up and throughout my school years. More recently, I’ve adopted three chinchillas, two bunnies, three hamsters, and two puppies with my fiancé. After caring for all of our small ones and our puppies (one with separation anxiety and another with special dietary needs) for some time, I think I can finally say I really know how much responsibility, energy, hard work, dedication, patience, and, most importantly, love go into caring for them and making sure they get the best of everything. I have taken care of many dogs and other kinds of animals, so I truly understand how important and necessary that sufficient stimulation and affection daily are to their happiness and health. I would love to make sure your furry friend gets all of the attention and love it deserves (and much more!) when you’re not able to. I believe it’s paramount to establish a relationship of trust and respect with both you and your dog so I am more than happy to send as many updates (through text, email, or note-taking) and pictures as you would like. I’m very available, flexible, and accommodating so if you have any special requests or needs for your pet, I’d be very willing and happy to work things out with you. Your loved one's happiness, health, and safety will always be my top priority!

Olivia did very good with our ornery dog. She was very patient and attentive to her.

Very reliable and understanding! She's helped me out so much even when it's last minute, and she'll go out of her way to do what I asked and more. I can tell why my dog loves her, she's such a sweet person! She makes sure that my dog is safe and loved!

Information Olivia H. would like to know about your pet

First of all, I would want to know your dog's name! Some additional things I would like to know would be: •If they have a certain schedule (for eating, walking, medications, or anything else) •How you deal with good and bad behavior •What their personality is like •If they're allowed on the furniture •Their favorite places to get scratches and rubs as well as their favorite things that they love to eat/do (preferably two days in advance so I can make sure I can get them their favorite treats or chews!) •Anything that triggers them and stresses them out like thunder or other dogs/animals (I can reduce the amount of time they’re exposed to my dogs easily) and what tends to help them through those situations (whether they have a toy they like to chew on or if cuddling and comforting words are best) •If there are any medical concerns and allergies that I should be aware of and what you would like me to do if there’s an emergency, whether there’s a certain number I should reach or a specific clinic to go to I really just want to provide a loving, safe, and comfortable place to make it their home away from home as best as possible!

A typical day

We have some dog parks around in our apartment complex as well as some trails and parks that are very close by that our dogs love walking/running around at. We also have a large, grassy area behind our apartment that I can throw a ball or a frisbee in. We also live about two miles from downtown in Fredericksburg, so if your dog loves getting a lot of attention, I’d be more than happy to walk with them there if you're comfortable with that. We have a lot of toys and chews, so if the weather isn’t agreeable, there’s still plenty to do!
