Pet care experience
I already love your pets!
Hey Chicago! I moved here from LA in 2024 and am looking to revive my Rover account! I’ve been pet sitting for my neighbors in my very large building here (I love my neighbors and their pets— they keep me pretty busy!) but I am looking to extend my services beyond the building. I have tons of experience and am available to provide love and care for any and all pets of the Gold Coast/River North area! I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies soon! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ 8/10/24 To all of my wonderful Los Angeles pet parents- After much consideration, I have decided to make a move to Chicago at the end of the month. I am really excited for this new energy and change of pace, however, it pains me to say I will have to close up my pet sitting services in Los Angeles. Caring for your pets this past year and a half has given me such purpose and fulfillment. I have enjoyed every moment of it and I am so happy I was able to provide care, comfort and safety for you and your pets! I am available for the next couple of weeks and then I will be winding down as I prepare for my move. Thank you to all of you for putting your trust in me and please kiss each of your babies on the head for me! I love them all! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Celebrating my one year anniversary here on Rover! Thank you so much to all of the wonderful pet parents who have trusted me to take care of your babies. The joy and fulfillment I feel caring for your pets like I care for my own is beyond words. I look forward to continuing to sit for my regulars and well as hopefully making many, many more furry friends! I was recently called “The Kitty Mary Poppins” by a client and I wear that title proudly! I love meeting a new pet and understanding their needs so they are as comfortable as possible while their parents are away. I am an extremely thorough sitter. I love when parents give me detailed instructions to follow so that I can maintain a pets usual routine as much as possible and detect any changes in behavior so I can note it in my updates. I take tons of pictures— I’m pretty proud of my cat photography skills! I love when pet parents say I’ve captured some of their favorite photos of their babies. I love getting to know each cat and their personality. I’ve developed some really special bonds with my kitty clients and I'm so glad to be a source of safety and comfort for them. This truly doesn’t feel like a job to me at all! A little bit about my personal pet life: As soon as I was out of my college dorm I adopted my first baby (and best friend); a female kitty named Emilio who is now 12 years old! A few years ago, on a trip to Guatemala, my boyfriend and I spotted a puppy chewing on a dirty bone, alone in the mountains by Lake Atitlan, scooped her up and took her home with us. Our wild girl, Papaya is now about 4 years old! And back in May 2022 we stumbled upon a street adoption and saw a 2 month old blonde kitten and knew he belonged in our pack. Sonny is now two years old! My babies are my world. I know, firsthand, the importance of finding a sitter that you trust with you fur babies so you can go about your travels with true peace of mind. I am here to provide that for you. I will take care of your babies as well as you do and I will give them oodles and oodles of love! Whatever you need to make you and your babies happy--I got you!

Safety, trust & environment
Animal safety is one of my top priorities in this world. I am admittedly a bit obsessive about my own pets safety and this extends to any animal that is in my care. If I am walking your dog they will never leave their leash or my sight. I will make sure I have eyes on your pet before I leave a visit and that all doors and windows are closed and that there is nothing out or accessible to a pet that may put them in harms way. You set the rules and I will happily follow them. Your baby is safe with me! A typical visit means feeding your cat, give them play time (if they are interested), nap time, scoop the litter box every visit, and send pictures every visit. Please let me know if your dog or cat has any special needs or behaviors. The more info the better so I can be as prepared as possible for whatever they may need!
Ratings and reviews
Olivia was great!! Our sweet boy took to her immediately and she was very communicative with updates and cute photos.
Olivia was extremely communicative and warm! Kept me in the loop throughout her visit and was very intuitive with Caviar!
The best sitter there is! Olivia was so kind and awesome with our two kittens while we were out of town. She provided great updates along with awesome pictures! I would recommend her to anyone!

Olivia was great! She was prompt and sent lots of updates and pictures! I felt like my cat was in very good hands with her.
Olivia was the best! Loved the daily videos and write-ups, her flexibility when plans changed and overall care she gave to my cat, Murray. I felt completely at ease when I was away and have already booked her again.

Schedule
I am 100% available for any pet sitting needs for the foreseeable future. I am an actor, not currently on a project, and since auditioning is 100% remote due to COVID, I can schedule my tapes around my pet sitting commitments. If I were to book acting work I would give you as large of a heads up as possible and set you up with one of my personal, trusted pet sitters or refer you to another volunteer or staff member at the cat shelter I volunteer at. You are in EXCELLENT hands!
