Highlights
Pet care experience
Your dog & me? The ultimate duo!
I'm a dog loving girl who thinks dogs deserve the same amount of love and affection that their owners give them, even when their owners are away! Petsitting is something I really find enjoyable. Looking after the animal is only partly what's great; it's the friendship, the companionship and the sense that I'm not actually completely alone in my house! I own my own home, so am always happy to accomodate a dog in my own house if you'd prefer. With my own house, comes my own family dog petsitting! Not only do I get trusted with Max, I'm the go to dog sitter for our family friends, my own friends and my work colleagues. This is something I truly value because to be trusted with looking after your family dog is something, but to be trusted with dogs you don't already have a relationship with is really a feeling I can't quite put into words but is something I'm incredibly grateful for. I can't wait to own my own dog one day, but I'm not set on getting a puppy. I'd like to get a dog from a shelter and because of this, I'd like to gain lots of experience with all kinds of breeds of dogs - I'm not prejudice, I love them all! This way when the dog chooses me (because lets be honest, the dog ALWAYS chooses the owner), I'll be able to say I've had lots of experience with it's breed! I work as an 9-5 chartered accountant during the day, which comes with its pros and cons. The main con is that I'm often sat at my desk for hours on end so all I want is to get out and have a big long walk... Now what dog do you know that doesn't want to do that? The main pro of my job, is I'm very disciplined, organised and have a very level head when the situation requires it. I also live close by to the office, so am able to go home to make sure your dog is not alone for too long and that they're able to go out for a walk at lunch too. The last thing I would like to mention is that I will only take vaccinated pets unfortunately, as I'm obviously around a few dogs a lot of the time but the main one being my family dog Max who is 17 years young, but I obviously don't want to pass anything onto him, so your co-operation with that would be extremely appreciated.

Ratings and reviews
Honey loves staying with Olivia and always has a great time. Olivia always keeps me in the loop with how Honey is doing and I have real peace of mind that she is in good hands.
Olivia was on time, communicative, and followed instructions. She is always great. Baker loves her!
Olivia was punctual, communicative and friendly! She spent the night with Baker and updated us with messages and photos. You can tell she really cares and loves dogs!
Olivia provided a 5star service to our little poochie girl. It was such a lovely experience leaving her with Olivia, we rarely leave her with other people, and Olivia understood what that meant… our little anxious Luna had a lovely weekend in Olivia’s calm, quiet and cuddly home. Perfect! Thank you x
Olivia is a super lovely, friendly and experienced dog person and Honey was completely happy and relaxed being with her. I was sent photos and kept informed of how Honey was through her stay and I was happy that she was being taken good care of.
Olivia was marvellous with Bailey hope we can arrange next time! Bailey had a great time we appreciated the photos and updates!
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I work mostly from the office but have 1 day a week where I can work from home which is usually a Wednesday. I only live 15 minutes away from my office so it's easy to get home and make sure the dogs get let out and have a good 30 minute walk on a lunch time everyday. On weekends I am usually free, but will obviously block out any weekends I cannot do, but I'll be flexible in the sense that I'll plan weekends around which dog I'm looking after rather than the other way around!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced back garden, it's small but still enjoyable. Plus i'm only a 2 minute walk from a very large field that dogs are allowed to be let off and roam around in, play ball in and meet friends! I have enough space in my house to crate your dog if you'd prefer them to be crated. I am very respectful of others houses as my main rule is treat the house how you'd want your house to be treated, and I'd seriously not want my own home mistreated!
A typical day
I love to stimulate your dogs both physically and mentally. We’ll play loads of games, check out new walks and new smells in my neighbourhood and will explore lots of new areas together! I’m always happy to drive a dog to a new walk I’ve found as long as your dog is happy with that!
