Availability
I work a rotating shift schedule, typically alternating between daytime (7:00 AM to 3:00 PM) and evening (3:00 PM to 11:00 PM) hours. Because my hours shift, I am the perfect fit for highly independent, low-maintenance dogs who are comfortable being left alone for an 8-hour stretch at various times of the day. No matter my shift, I always provide a dedicated presence at the home overnight, ensuring your property is secure and your pets get their consistent morning and late-night routines.

Safety, trust & environment
I strictly follow all homeowner instructions regarding property security, locking doors, and gate safety. To ensure the highest possible quality of care and complete safety, I exclusively limit my services to properties with no pets or to healthy pets that do not require medical care, injections, or complex medication schedules. I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean, bringing in mail, and managing curbside bins so it always looks occupied. I am also a dog owner.
Information Olivia J. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about your pet's personality, energy level, routine, triggers, fears, and any training cues they know. I also like to know how they interact with other people, pets, children, and unfamiliar environments. The more I know about their likes, dislikes, and daily habits, the better I can make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home while you're away!
A typical day
Every pet is different, so I tailor activities to their personality, age, and energy level! For active pets, I love going on walks, playing fetch, tug-of-war, and practicing tricks with positive reinforcement. For calmer or senior pets, I enjoy gentle walks, cuddle time, and lots of one-on-one attention. Most importantly, I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can see all the fun we're having together!

Reviews
immediately kept me informed of any issues
I've had the privilege of watching Olivia care for animals her entire life, and I can confidently say that she is one of the most responsible and compassionate people I know. She genuinely loves animals and treats them as family members rather than simply pets. Olivia has helped care for our own dog for years, from daily walks and playtime to making sure medical needs are looked after and appointments are never missed. She pays attention to the little things -changes in behaviour, appetite, or energy - and always puts the pet's well-being first. What sets Olivia apart is that she combines a genuine love of animals with a strong sense of responsibility. She is reliable, trustworthy, organized, and patient. If I needed someone to care for my pet while I was away, I would have complete peace of mind knowing Olivia was looking after them. Any pet in her care will be safe, loved, and treated as if it were her own. -Dr. Atul Joshi
