Professional dog lover ❤️
Pet care experience
I'm a young woman living in Ames, Iowa who wants to be a professional dog trainer. I currently work full time in a doggy daycare and boarding facility, as well as helping to provide small group structured time including treadmills, training, and enriching dogs' lives! I've been pet sitting for 10 years, have 3 years of veterinary experience, and have been working full time with dogs specifically for a year. Providing excellent care and enrichment to your dog or cat's day isn't a temporary gig I'm using to make more money, its a goal and experience I want to spend my entire life achieving! I have experience with many different behavioral problems both from family dogs as well as other people's pets in the work place, and understand that *every* dog and cat is different, and would love to learn about and work with each individuals' needs!
Reviews
We were initially anxious about using Rover to have someone home and dog sit, but Olivia completely eased our worries and was absolutely phenomenal. She checked in with us regularly and the dogs absolutely loved her. We were able to completely enjoy our vacation knowing the dogs were in capable hands. We would definitely recommend Olivia, especially if this is your first time using Rover, and will definitely book with her again!
About Olivia M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have experience in a shelter environment, a veterinary environment, as well as various dog-specific care facilities! I grew up with multiple dogs in the home, and have professional experience with working with both dogs and cats, with and without behavioral and medical concerns. I have experience with being the sole provider of care for hospitalized pets over the weekend in a veterinary facility, as well as in-home pet care for animals of various ages, species, and needs. I'm confident in my ability to provide care that is as close to your pets' daily routine as possible, communicating as much or as little as desired, and ensuring you and your pets' happiness!
Information Olivia M. would like to know about your pet
Please communicate your dog’s quirks and needs with me! I have experience working with almost every dog breed, and many rescues and mixed breeds. I would love to be able to provide your pets with the closest thing to their normal routine that I can, and every little detail counts! If they like to be left alone when they’re on their blue bed upstairs, but want to cuddle on their other bed, let me know so I can respect their boundaries and wants! I have thousands of hours of experience with reading dog body language in large groups as well as small groups and one on one. Please also let me know your communication preferences! I can message you frequently or give an occasional update to let you know everything is going great, or anything in between.
A typical day
As a dog professional I would love to provide your pet with their favorite activities as well as some new ones! Teaching dogs new tricks is a great way to stimulate their brain and their body! I’m happy to spend time working with your dogs in whatever way you’d like and have over a year of professional training and behavior experience.

Availability
I typically work from either 5 am to 3 pm, or 7 am to about 4 pm. With just over two weeks of notice, I'll happily adjust my work schedule to try and prioritize your pets' needs. I have over 4 years of experience with staying overnight in people's homes with their pets, as well as stopping in in the morning afternoon, and evening to care for pets, so I'm comfortable with both or a combination! I'm happy to communicate with and be flexible for anyone who's looking for pet care though!
