Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable dog walker & pet lover 🐾
I’ve grown up around dogs and cats, and have always loved being around them, so I’m very used to daily walks, routines, and keeping pets active and happy. I’m confident walking dogs with different energy levels. This can be whether they need a long, active walk or something more relaxed, I know plenty of great local spots that suit dogs of all sizes. I’m often trusted to walk and look after dogs for longer periods, and I’ve also cared for cats in the past. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable handling different personalities, including excitable or shy dogs. As a postgrad student training to be a teacher, I’m naturally organised, responsible, and always easy to communicate with

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a shared house, so caring for pets in my own home isn’t the best option. Instead I focus on providing reliable, attentive care in your pet’s familiar environment. I follow your routines closely to help your pet feel secure, whether that’s sticking to feeding times, keeping to their usual walking routes, or maintaining any training you have in place. I’m patient, safety‑conscious, and always make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and well looked after. Your pet will always get plenty of attention, affection, and calm, consistent care.
Ratings and reviews
Olivia was amazing with our dog Ani. I was really worried as Ani does get anxious when we all leave her. However, Olivia made her feel so comfortable that she accepted her like another member of our family and does did her normal of disappearing upstairs to sleep on our bed. I would highly recommend Olivia who is a lovely kind caring sitter.
Olivia walked my little dog, Maxi, for a week while I had some late shifts at work. She’s very sweet and was reliable throughout the week. Her rates were fair, shes definitely a solid, dependable choice if you need a hand with your pets :)
She looked after my dog this weekend and did a great job. She was kind, and clearly very comfortable around animals. I felt confident leaving my dog in her care, and everything was handled smoothly. She was reliable, easy to communicate with, and made sure my dog was well looked after. I’d happily recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter.
Olivia took care of my cat Ben for a long weekend and she was fantastic. She kept me updated throughout, gave Ben plenty of affection, and made sure his routine stayed consistent. I came home to a very content cat. I wholeheartedly recommend Olivia as a trustworthy and dependable caregiver.
Olivia is a very warm and caring person. She has 17 years experience with our family dog, from boisterous puppy to ageing senior and she has always been patient and loving towards Connie. Olivia is very dependable and you can have utmost confidence that she will look after your dog, also acting responsibly and making good decisions if anything unexpected arises. She has had this maturity from a young age and this translates to her career choice as a primary school teacher. As a parent I would of course say good things, but in Olivia’s case, I cannot speak more highly of her as a reliable and loving person.
Olivia has looked after my pet cat, Dragon, on a number of occasions and I can safely say she smashes it out of the park. Whilst Dragon is quite independent he does love a good play and groom in the evening which Olivia excels at. She is amazing at keeping his usual schedule of feeding and waking to ensure that he feels comfortable whilst I am away.

Schedule
I’m a PGCE Primary student, so my weekdays are usually full from about 8am to 4:30pm. After that, I enjoy staying active, so evening walks and drop‑ins fit really well around my routine. At weekends I’m generally flexible and able to help out, whether that’s regular walks, pop‑ins, or longer pet‑sitting bookings. I like keeping busy, and spending time with animals is one of my favourite ways to do that.
