Attentive and knowledgeable
Pet care experience
I have experience working at two different boarding/daycare facilities. Additionally, I have personal experience caring for senior animals, puppies, and reactive/fearful dogs. I have fostered dogs and volunteered time at rescues to further care for dogs. I am currently investing time into online seminars and trainings to become an animal behavioralist, which has all helped me to train my own dog.
Reviews
Olivia has been awesome with my dog and I love all the cute pictures. There’s has been such an improvement in my dog’s behavior on walks. Olivia does such a great job!
Olivia is awesome! My old dog is a handful and she handled him well. She gave me good reports and pictures. Olivia was very helpful, sent get pictures and great communication!
Olivia M. cancelled a booking within a day of the start date.
My puppy loves her mid day walks and play time with Olivia. She’s fabulous, caring and very easy to communicate with.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I personally have a fenced in backyard; however, I have experience walking multiple dogs at a time and handling dogs safely in open environments. I make intentional points to always be attentive to dogs regardless if they are fenced in or not. When I am caring for someone else’s dog, or my own, I make sure their safety is guaranteed. This is a skill I have sharpened since owning a fear reactive dog.
Information Olivia M. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know your dogs temperament, their friendliness with other dogs and people, the basic skills they already possess, and any fun things about them! I have experience with training my own personal dog which has harbored much success; however, I acknowledge every dog is different. This means that with the proper information, I am willing to work with any dogs and find out the best methods that work for their care whether you want walks, check-ins, short, informal training sessions, or anything else!
A typical day
I enjoy finding a variety of activities to do with dogs that can include physical and mental stimulation. To me, exercising your dog is not only about walking or playing fetch. I like to play "find it" with my dog by using a portion of his daily meal. This is a type of searching game for dogs that is mentally stimulating and sharpens their scent work. Additionally, I meet dogs where they are basic obedience wise and take time to work on basic skills. This is another mental stimulation game in which the dogs works for their food.

I am currently working part time as a care provider at a dog boarding and daycare boutique. I regularly have Mondays and Thursday entirely open. However, can make availability with enough notice. I care for multiple pets on a regular basis which includes physical exercise (walking and playtimes), feedings, bathroom breaks, etc.
