Passion for working with all dogs
Pet care experience
Hi! I'm Olivia and I have many years of experience working with dogs ranging from aggressive or nervous dogs, to young untrained puppies, and even senior dogs with health problems. I have 2 dogs of my own and a horse as well and I enjoy every second spent with them. I’ve also cared for cats, bearded dragons, rabbits, and guinea pigs. I try to surround myself with and get to know as many dogs as possible because they make my life whole and I couldn't live a happy life without them. I am very patient with all dogs and get along with every one I meet. I am not nervous around aggressive dogs and I am totally comfortable working with any dog. I am an active person, so I can take high energy dogs on runs or long walks. I am a full time college student at Temple University so I do have classes during the week, but my schedule is very accommodating and I am free a lot during the weekdays and weekends! Feel free to call or text me with any questions you may have and I will work with you to create a perfect schedule for your beloved dog!
Reviews
Olivia took perfect care of our dog and cat over the holiday!
Olivia quickly bonded with my dog Gabby. I strongly recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a dependable, caring and knowledgeable person to walk and care for their pet. Her rates are reasonable, and she provides exceptional service.
Olivia is great with our excitable but anxious 70lb pitbull! I’m confident she is great with any dog of any size and personality!
Olivia is absolutely wonderful!! We have an anxious dog and she has been so patient, gentle, and understanding with him. She took her time to ensure our dog felt safe and she gained his trust and was able to take him on plenty of walks. Will definitely reach out again for more walks and visits from Olivia in the future! Thanks again so much for caring for our Toby!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am very respectful of the owner's home, I focus on the pet and their needs, but if you have any requests, like taking out the trash or bringing in mail/packages, I will gladly do that for you. I like to make sure your pet is comfortable with me, if they seem nervous, I will take the time to sit and let them get used to me. I don't want it to be a stressful experience for your pet, so I always try to show them that they are safe and taken care of. They will receive lots of love if they are comfortable with it, including lots of belly rubs!
Information Olivia H. would like to know about your pet
I welcome all types of dogs, if you have any special requests or care requirements needed for your dog, I am happy to oblige! I can administer oral and topical medications and your dog will be treated with respect and care throughout the process!
A typical day
When I take a dog out for a walk, I like to let them smell. It is very mentally stimulating for a dog to be able to smell things on their walk, so that is an important part of their experience. If it is a drop-in visit, I like to play with your dog, including things like catch or tug. They will get lots of cuddles and love as well.

I am currently a student at Temple University, but my schedule is very flexible and I have lots of time to care for your pets. Luckily I have a car at school, so it is easy for me to travel. During the summer, I will be working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to focus on pet care as well.
