Highlights
Pet care experience
Tons of experience, welcoming pack!
My boyfriend, Alex, and I are very excited to open our home to new dog friends! I grew up with multiple dogs (and bunnies, hamsters, gerbils, hedgehog, lizards) as a kid and have always had a huge love for animals of all kinds. Alex has also had dogs all of his life and is a huge softie for all dogs. We accept dogs of all kinds and are looking to make the stay for them as fun as possible. Daily walks and play sessions will definitely be included. If you so wish, while you are away we can send pictures and updates to you of your little friend having fun. There are also so many fun parks in the area to take dogs for walks at! We am open to any special instructions and will try to accommodate your dog(s) as best as we can! We know that if we were to leave our buddies with anyone, we would only want the best! I have been pet sitting animals of all kinds for 10+ years now both in my house and at the house of the pets. We do have a small pack of 3 dogs of our own who love other dogs. We have Bear the 5 year old husky/dalmatian/lab mix, Millie the 3 year old Golden Retriever, and Argo the 2 year old husky/shepherd mix. All of our dogs are very friendly and outgoing, always ready to make new canine friends. They are typically pretty lazy during the day, usually all lounging on the couch while we are at work, and are welcoming to add another pup to the pack. We are also able to crate or separate doggos if needed while we are working. For housesitting I (Olivia) would also be more than happy to complete any other home tasks such as watering plants or bringing in mail while you are away. Please feel free to contact me with any other questions or for additional information.

Ratings and reviews
Olivia and Millie were great! She was very responsive and sent an update everyday! We came back to a happy and not neurotic dog!
Our dogs stayed overnight with Olivia and she was great with them! She was super communicative with us the whole time and we were incredibly happy with her services. Will definitely be booking with her again in the future!
Wow - what an incredible experience our pup and our family had with Olivia. Our pup is older, deaf and very skittish and we knew from the first moment we met Olivia that his stay would with her would be perfect - and it was! Olivia is calm, kind and very communicative. Her love for dogs is evident as she cared for Jimmy as if he was her own! Thank you Olivia for keeping us updated, providing us with reassurances and taking such wonderful care of Jimmy while we were away. We never worried about him and if you will have him, we will most definitely be back should we need assistance again in the future. You are WONDERFUL!
Olivia , thank you so much for watching Murphy. You made us feel comfortable and ensured us that our dog(Murphy) was in good hands. I know Murphy enjoyed his sleepover because he came home and slept the whole next day ! We can’t wait to use you again in the future !
Olivia took great care of my two cats while I was away. They were both eagerly waiting by the front door when I got home, which they don't usually do - I think they were hoping it would be Olivia again :) They were happy, litter boxes and eating area were clean, and I was sent some adorable pictures while I was away. I'll definitely be reaching back out next time I need a cat sitter!
Olivia is awesome! She is very easy going and takes amazing care of my two senior dogs. I don’t have to worry when I’m away because Olivia is trustworthy, responsible, and truly cares. She followed all of my instructions for this quirky crew. She stayed in my home for two nights and left my home tidy and clean. Thank you again, Olivia!

Schedule
I work 8 hours per day so I can only watch dogs who are okay with being home alone for 8 hours. I am typically gone from 6:30am to 2:30pm leaving plenty of time for afternoon walks and cuddles for the rest of the day!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My house is very secure with a 10 foot high fully fenced in backyard! I have extensive experience with senior pets and those with special needs. I am very respectful of client's space and leave a home looking the same as when I got there.

A typical day
Walks can be anywhere the owner would like! Around the neighborhood, around a local lake, local hiking spots, anything! Tailored to the length that works best for your pup!
