Animals are family ❤️

Pet care experience

From the moment I was born I was around animals, wild and domestic. My first dog was a 110+ pound Chow/Shepherd mix, she was very protective and territorial and took it upon herself to protect me and my sibling from any bullies on our street, from then on I've had a deer head rescue chihuahua named Prue she was my best friend, followed me everywhere, two 110+ pound Native American Shepherds, three cats one old named Milo, a very hyper and playful kitty name Cleo, a sweet loving sensitive tuxedo cat named Marley, a Terra fish named Ruby, a beautiful tropical bird named AU, two Guinea pigs named Opie and Didley, three turtles, one red eared slider named Jack, two painted turtles a big one named Perry and a smaller one I found named Damien, a black rescue lab named Jack Jack with a injured ear and no tail, a grey cat named Tom Tom who followed my fiance home from a fire station, a little apple head chihuahua corgi mix named Willow who was found in the streets of New Orleans after a flood, I've been around disabled animals my whole life, a cat who's tail was injured and had to be removed, a roudy white poodle mix who was born with half a paw, I've gone to interactive zoos and played with the animals, every animal I meet instantly loves me as I approach them with a warm welcoming energy and show them that we are on the same level, yet I'm dominant in training scenarios. Across my street lives 3 dogs and a cat named jerry, sweet pups Pablo, Matilda and Bailey, Bailey is an old paranoid shitzu with a therapy jacket that makes her more docile, if you're not in the sun rubbing her belly she can't see clearly and assumes you're a threat, so I approach her with loving speech and body language, Matilda is a very emotional rescue who is older and very docile and sad until she met Pablo a 1 year old puppy crossbreed, he keeps her young and spry, he has beautiful white teeth and hair, I am very interested in the upkeep of your animal's physical, emotional, environmental and mental wellbeing. I will pamper your loved ones to the highest degree while also showing them how to act in a strangers house without being scared, homesick, nervous or rowdy. :)

My dog Hallie adopted Olivia from the first meet and greet and ran to say hello to her. She’s a friendly dog but this was unusual . Olivia has a special touch:)

I am very interested in the upkeep of your animal's physical, emotional, environmental and mental wellbeing. I will pamper your loved ones to the highest degree while also showing them how to act appropriately in a sitter's house without becoming territorial, aggressive, homesick, nervous or rowdy. I love all animals and understand that just because they can't communicate verbally, doesn't mean they can't communicate. I have a home with energy balancing Buddhist symbols (laughing Buddha, energy cleansing aromas and a clean peaceful home for your animal's stay. I will interact with them the entire time and make sure all their needs and wants are met. I love caring for living things whether it be a baby or an ant, a wolf or a worm 🤣 I will take care of them to the fullest of my capabilities and make them comfortable. I can even help train them to not get separation anxiety when you leave home and become independent individuals who can care for themselves. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your pet's journey to happiness and healthiness. Love to all ❤️✨️

Information Olivia R. would like to know about your pet

If your dog needs any form of medication, dietary needs or are differently abled, I would love to know ahead of time so I can prepare our environment to fit their every need. I would also like to know how they interact with other animals and strangers to prepare for their introductions and meet and greets. Thank you! :)

A typical day

I live 3 minutes from Norrie Park in Staatsburg NY where there are many trails ranging from fields to wooded areas and places for your animal to go for a safe swim to cool off. I live across the street from my aunt's house that provides a beautiful large field for burning off some excess energy where they can play with neighborhood dogs depending on the owner's level of comfort. I can also provide your animals the most beautiful parts of the upstate NY including Esopus creek, many other beautiful swimming holes, waterfalls and hikes up the large plateaus, the town of Phoenicia that's full of lovely people who have an affinity for the beauty of nature and animals from all walks of life. I promise to make sure my clients pets are safe, secure and protected from the area's pests including ticks by providing tick collars and comfortable harnesses. Your animals will return to your care happy and intact. If any health concerns arise, I have a direct line to an emergency and specialty vet who has taken care of many of the neighborhood animals and a direct line to the rover emergency team. I will protect your pets as if they are my own. Thank you for allowing me to care for your loved ones. <3

I've been around all types of animals caged, untrained, unspayed in heat animals who need extra care and attention, I am exploring animal behaviors, training and pet sitting animals of all walks of life, I am also attempting to train the neighborhood Squirrells and chipmunks to eat food out of my hands and avoid the road, I know bird calls and how to attract owls, hawks, butterflies and most social animals. When I was young I hand fed a wild doe and Bambi as we called him, a calm baby deer. My father lives in the Catskill mountains and since birth I've played with, caterpillars, ants, daddy long legs, peepers, frogs, toads, tadpoles, and threw back all the fish my dad caught. I have a photo of my younger self in preschool approaching a praying mantis that had got into the classroom, all the kids were screaming and I'm seen holding and playing with him until I brought him back outside. All the bugs I find in my house I trap and release back into the wild including ants, spiders, stink bugs, bees, lady bugs, inch worms and more. I feel that all living things deserve respect and empathy.
