Highlights
Pet care experience
Cats of all kinds welcome
I volunteered at my local shelter (caring for cats, dogs, and rodents) in Longmont, CO from ages 10-15. I've pet sit for friends, family, and colleagues over the years as well, ranging from a few drop-ins to 2+ weeks of overnight care. Nowadays, I volunteer at a cat cafe in downtown Rochester once a week. For about 3 hours, I'm required to: - Feed 20+ cats wet food - Scoop and sift 10+ litter boxes - Clean up accidents and sweep the floors of fur and other debris - Socialize with the cats, especially more reserved ones I'm experienced with animals of all ages and personalities, and I'm comfortable administering medicine and other medical needs. I've lived with cats my whole life. The longest I've ever owned a cat is 17 years; Trouble lived to 19 and was in my care full-time through her last stages of life. Therefore, I can tend to medical needs and can quickly identify behaviors that would require medical attention. Above all else, I understand that all cats have different boundaries. Making them feel comfortable is my priority.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When first meeting a cat, I’m sure to move slowly, quietly, and keep space between us if they aren’t ready to approach me on their own. Often, I find cats enjoy the company, even if it’s from a distance.
Ratings and reviews
Olivia was wonderful with my cat. I would have her sit again for sure!
Olivia got my very shy cats to come out of hiding, and provided a lot of cute photos both days I was gone. I came home to happy and well cared for kitties. Thank you so much!!
Olivia is absolutely amazing! My cats instantly trusted her at our meet and greet. I am super anxious leaving my 2 cats but she was so communicative with me and provided such great updates- I felt so at ease. I will absolutely use Olivia again. I have very high expectations for care for my cats, She went above and beyond my expectations and then some! Thank you!!
Olivia did an excellent job watching our cat. She is clearly very good with animals and our anxious cat took to her immediately. she was communicative and on time every day and I appreciated how thoughtful she was cleaning around the litterbox. I would happily have her watch our cat again!

Schedule
I'm a part-time horticulturalist with a flexible schedule. As long as a client is within a few miles of downtown Rochester, I can easily drop in and/or stay overnight.
- CatsOlivia can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
- If your cat has any behavioral triggers (smells, noises, etc.), please let me know in advance. I have no breed preference, any and all are welcome!
