Lover of all dogs!
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Olivia, and I’d love to check in on or walk your furry friend during the day! I grew up around animals. My family always had Australian Shepherds and I rode horses. Now I have 3 dogs of my own—a yellow Lab, an Aussie mix, and a Catahoula mix! I also have a horse and the family cat. I have experience puppy raising and working for a guide dog school where I worked with many Labs and German Shepherds. I’ve also walked dogs and pet sat for many neighbors over the years. I currently work in the film industry with animals and like to dog walk and pet sit in my free time. I have several unique experiences that have allowed me to gain skills that assure I will safely and happily care for your pets! *Please note that for house sitting jobs, I am unable to stay overnight at the client’s house.
Reviews
Olivia was a great companion to pup! She promptly responded my messages, was reliable, and took great care of my 5-month old puppy. I highly recommend her.
Olivia has been watching my Bulldog and Boxer for the past 6 years. She takes amazing care of them and is extremely patient with the stubborn Bulldog- they both love her! I would recommend Olivia to anyone- she will love your baby like her own!
Olivia has walked several of our dogs over the years. She has always been very concerned for our pets and their well being. We never have any worries when Olivia has our pets. She is a true animal lover, and will always be our first choice for any pet services.
Olivia is a live-long animal lover. Her formal education in Animal Studies, her many internships caring for animals large and small, and her travel to Patagonia and beyond have prepared her for any situation involving animals. Olivia was selected by the Guiding Eyes Foundation to foster a puppy, and for the past several months, during her senior year of college, has been selflessly training "Nanook". Moreover, her personal passion and genuine love of animals combined with her excellent judgment, reliability and long-term commitment make her a top choice. I wholeheartedly endorse Olivia as a capable, compassionate, trustworthy and loving dog caregiver.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in yard which provides a secure space for your dog to play in. My own dogs are crate trained but have good house manners and are often left loose. I can easily crate your pup if desired.
Information Olivia H. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog requires any special kind of care, has any behavioral or reactivity issues I should be aware of, or has any special training or “do’s and dont’s.”
A typical day
I want to not only tire your dog out physically, but mentally, too! Drop in visits will involve lots of play and games. If you have a fenced in yard, I will happily tire your pup out playing outside. On walks I will let your dog stop to take in all of the smells and enjoy some time out of the house.
