Availability

Pet care fits into my daily routine because my fiancé and I already structure our day around consistency with taking care of our own pets. Even with my full time job, I plan my schedule carefully so walks, check-ins, feedings and play sessions are never overlooked. Those are my dogs favorite parts of the day so I make sure to treat your pet the same way. Caring for pets is not something I squeeze in, it's something I love to do and make time for. Having pets of my own keeps me in routine of exercise, and attentive care which carries over right into how I look after every pet I am sitting for. Owners will feel confident in knowing their pets are being cared for by someone who lives this routine every day, not just during bookings.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide attentive, structured and personalized care, whether pets are in my home or the clients home. I follow each pet's normal routines as closely as I can; including feeding schedule, walk times, medications, crate habits, and play preferences so I can keep them comfortable and stress-free. In my home, pets get a clean, safe and calm environment with supervised time, exercise and plenty of affection. I also have a friendly dog and cat who are well-socialized and get along with other dogs. If they are not crate trained I will be sure to sleep with them in our guest room so that they will get rest apart from where my dog and cat sleeps in our bedroom. In a client home I am respectful of the space and keep things so pets feel secure in their home. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, communication and enrichment and I always send regular updates and photos, so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for. I need to know ahead of time if you dog gets along with cats, if they do not, I will need to watch your dog in your home. I also require a meet and greet if your pets will be coming to our home ahead of time to be sure they get along with our dog and cat as well.

Information Olivia J. would like to know about your pet

Things I would like to know about your pets ahead of time: Do they get along with other dogs? In case we come across one on our walk? (if we take walks) Do they bark at new people or dogs? I do not have a problem with this at all, just so I am aware. Do they limp, or tire easily on walks? How long and how far are they comfortable walking? Any sensitivity with any body parts being touched? (Example, don’t like their feet touched or belly, face touched) Any restrictions on running, stairs, jumping off of couch/beds? Any medications? Are they allowed on furniture or should that be prevented? I need to know ahead of time if you dog gets along with cats, if they do not, I will need to watch your dog in your home. I also require a meet and greet if your pets will be coming to our home ahead of time to be sure they get along with our dog and cat as well.

A typical day

Fun, engaging activities are a big part of how I care for my own pets. I like to keep them both mentally and physically happy. This depends on each pet's energy level and preferences, I include activities like neighborhood walks, play sessions with their favorite toys, enrichment games and basic training refreshers to work their brain. For more relaxed pets we can get in cuddle time, gentle play and calm companionship. Every activity is tailored to the pet so that the pet feels comfortable, stimulated and cared for, and not just supervised.

Pet care experience

-I treat all pets like that are my own- it is not just "another booking" for me. -I try my best to keep all their routines consistent, so I don't add any extra stress to their life, since I am sure they are already missing you. -I adjust care to each pet's needs, and I am very patient with dogs who are anxious and shy and also ones that are very high energy. -I send frequent photo + video updates (unless you would not prefer this, please let me know, I am happy to refrain.) & I leave detailed visit summaries and always use the app, so you know when I am in your home. -I am responsible, reliable, caring and trustworthy. I have struggled to find the right pet sitter in the past before I used rover, and to find someone that was available when I needed them was everything. I would love to be that person for you, and able to help you out when you need it most.

Olivia did such an amazing job taking care of our cats while we were out of town! She went above and beyond to make sure Blackjack got his medicine despite his best efforts to avoid it, and she even shoveled our stairs when a snowstorm hit. We would definitely choose her to cat sit for us again and would highly recommend her!
