Part-Time Convivial Pet Caretaker

My expertise and background lie in zoo and wildlife biology. For the past 10+ years, I’ve worked with a number of reputable animal and wildlife properties, including shelters, nature centers (e.g., Indiana Dunes State Park and Lyman Woods Interpretive Center), wildlife rehab. facilities (e.g., Willowbrook Wildlife Center), and zoological societies (e.g., Safari Lake Geneva). I have an unparalleled passion for animals of all breeds and species, possessing direct experience with the following: dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, birds, malacostracans, arachnids, and various hooved mammals (horses, giraffes, camels, donkeys, zebras, antelope, etc.). Our family has also owned a diverse array of critters, great and small; my husband and I are currently proud pet parents to rats, a leopard gecko, a bearded dragon, and an albino Florida kingsnake! As a part-time sitter, I am well-versed in walking, bathing, feeding, and administering medication.

I’m happy to walk, bathe, feed, and provide medication if need be to your pet. I especially enjoy playtime (e.g. fetch) whether within my client's home, in a fenced-in yard, or at a local park.

Olivia is amazing! She was extremely patient with our 11 month old Australian Cattle Dog and treated her like her own :)

Olivia was a gem. This was my first time using Rover. I am very particular about who I would trust to take good care of my little girl. She did a fabulous job. She was very respectful of my instructions for my dog and my home was perfect when I returned. I am looking forward to using Olivia again in the future.

Olivia was great with my dogs. They can be a pain but she handled them well. I will definitely use her again!!

Olivia treated our fur babies as her own. She went above and beyond. We would have her house sit a million and one more times!

Olivia is the most compassionate animal lover I've ever known – but she's not just loving and kind with every type of dog ... she is smart and knows how to "read" them; she knows what's good for them. When she's caring for a dog, their safety and well-being are her top priority. She has solid common sense and she's completely trustworthy. She's also great with people and knows how to communicate clearly. She follows direction and has a positive, super-friendly attitude – she wants to do a good job and cares about her work. Olivia has an excellent work ethic and does the right thing. I don't trust anyone else to care for my dog. Believe me, your dog will love her and will be in very competent hands!

I would like to know in advance of anything that may instigate aggression or anxiety, especially on walks. For instance, how does your dog react to strangers and/or other dogs/animals?
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
