Highlights
Pet care experience
Veterinary Technician / Nurse
Hi! my name is Olivia, and I am an emergency & shelter veterinary professional providing attentive, knowledgeable, and compassionate care for your pets 🐾 I currently work in both emergency and shelter medicine, which means I’m experienced in recognizing urgent medical concerns, handling high-stress situations, and supporting animals who may be anxious or reactive. I’m also certified in pet CPR, so your pet’s safety is always my top priority. Through my shelter work, I’ve developed a strong understanding of the importance of daily exercise, structure, and mental enrichment—especially for high-energy or stressed animals. I always tailor my care to match each pet’s individual needs and personality. I’m comfortable with: • Oral and injectable medications (including insulin) • Senior, special-needs, and post-op care • Anxious or shy pets who need extra patience • Assisting with routine care like nail trims and ear cleanings I’m a recent graduate of both the Animal Care program at Durham College and the Veterinary Technician program at Georgian College, with hands-on placement experience in a variety of clinical and animal care settings. Working with animals has always been my passion, and I love being able to apply my skills while building trust with both pets and their owners 🤍 You can expect lots of updates, attention, and a calm, safe environment for your pet. I’d love to meet you and your furry family—feel free to reach out anytime!

Safety, trust & environment
I have experience working with animals that are anxious or stressed meeting a new person. What I have learned is patience and understanding is the best way for an animal to gain your trust. I am willing to take time with each animal to learn their limits and comfort levels, and do whatever I can to make a fear-free, positive experience for them.
Ratings and reviews
I would highly recommend Olivia for an animal care position. Olivia walks and looks after our 2 dogs. A 11 year old shit zu poodle, and an 15 month shit zu Maltese. She’s always greets them, with warm open arms. spends the time with them until they feel comfortable with her. She shows our pets so much love and gives them so much attention, like if they were her own. Olivia is a kind, warm hearted, knowledgeable pet loving individual. I can leave my pets in her care and not worry about them at all. I know they’re in good capable hands.
Olivia is the biggest animal lover I know! She has worked very hard to complete her veterinary technician degree. Olivia is also a responsible pet owner herself, she has two dogs in which one of them she rescued and helped over come his anxiety towards people. Olivia’s passion and care for animals is inspiring, she would help any animal she comes across without hesitation. Olivia would be a perfect fit to care for your pet!
Olivia is a sweet and passionate animal lover and any furry friend would be so lucky to be in her care. Watching Olivia spend the last 3 years working hard to become a registered veterinary technician has been so wonderful because I see first hand how much she loves this career. She, without a doubt, would be incredibly responsible and loving to any pet that comes into her care.

Schedule
I own 2 dogs of my own, so the care for animals never stops outside of work! I am beyond excited to provide services outside of work whenever I can to help pet owners with busy schedules ensure their animals are being cared for.
