Pet care experience
Holistic Pet Care You Can Trust!
Hi, I’m Olivia! With a background in behavioral work and trauma-informed care, I bring a uniquely calming, intuitive presence to the animals I support. I’ve spent years caring for pets in my personal life and community—everything from energetic puppies to gentle seniors—always with patience, respect, and a deep understanding of their emotional world. As a Registered Behavior Technician and Somatic Trauma-Informed Practitioner for both people and animals, I’m attuned to body language, stress signals, and what helps animals feel safe. I specialize in: -Structure, positive reinforcement, routine-building -Senior support (slow walks, mobility assistance, medication reminders, extra gentleness) -Anxious or shy pets who benefit from a calm, regulated, grounded human -Consistent routines that help pets feel secure when their humans are away My care style is warm, grounded, and attentive. I take the time to understand each animal’s personality, needs, and comfort level. Your pet will get affection, enrichment, mindful walks, and a nurturing presence, not just supervision. I’d love to care for your furry family member as if they were my own.

Ratings and reviews
Olivia is friendly, positive, accommodating, loving, communicative and very responsible -- in short, everything you could want in a sitter for your four legged fur baby! We drive 30 minutes **each way** specifically so we she can care for our beloved pup when we have to go out of town. She checks in often and sends plenty of pictures so we know our pup is getting the best care (and behaving!) Her home is lovely -- spacious, welcoming and just right for a pup who might sometimes be a little too curious for her own good. We highly recommend Olivia! You cannot go wrong with her.
livia was wonderful with our Labrador, Cupcake. She took excellent care of her, making sure she was happy, safe, and well looked after. Olivia also kept the house very clean and tidy while we were away. We truly appreciated her reliability and care, and we are having her watch Cupcake again.
Olivia took great care of my pup, Willow, while I was gone, and Willow took to Olivia right away-- like she'd known her for years! Olivia went off of what Willow was up for during the day, so she said they got in some snuggling in the morning and had a lot of playtime later. Olivia was very respectful and considerate of my home, and attentive during our meet-and-greet when we reviewed the training I'm working on with Willow so she could maintain it during their time together. I would gladly have Olivia look after my pup again and would recommend her to others!
My two shy cats hate everyone …. except Olivia! She is their favorite person outside the family, and they do not hide when she comes over. She is completely reliable and gives them plenty of attention. She tends to the litter box, feeds them and plays with them. Olivia is great with dogs as well. I can highly recommend her for your pet care needs too!
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to accommodate drop-ins, feeding schedules, and quality time with your pets. I’m available on weekends as well, and I genuinely enjoy building my days around caring for animals. Whether it’s morning check-ins, afternoon playtime, or evening wind-down visits, I can easily adjust my schedule to meet your cat’s needs and keep their routine consistent and comforting.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets, my top priority is creating a safe, comfortable, and predictable environment where they feel secure and loved. Whether in their home or mine, I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routines, and preferences so that care is tailored to their individual needs. My home is a two-level row home with a park nearby and lots of greenery, where they are free to roam. I ensure food and water are fresh, spaces are clean, and doors or gates are secure at all times. I’m attentive to subtle changes in behavior—energy levels, eating habits, or signs of stress—and will communicate promptly with the owner if anything seems off. Above all, I treat every pet like a beloved family member, and I keep owners updated with notes and photos so they feel confident and at ease while away.
