Safety, trust & environment

I always follow care instructions to a T, am perfectly comfortable pet sitting in a home with cameras if it makes the pet owners feel more comfortable, and I am always sure to send many pictures so you know that your beloved pet is doing okay in your absence!

Information Olivia S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special behaviors or needs. I am more than happy to take the time to make them feel comfortable and to closely monitor any health/behavioral issues for you while you are away.

A typical day

I will take dogs on walks, to parks, run with them and play with toys! Walking around or near local trails and paths is a favorite of mine, but I'm happy to accommodate wherever your pup's preference is.

Animal Advocate & Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m a practicing attorney and lifelong animal lover who’s always looking for more time with pets. I have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals, and I genuinely love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments — from tiny lap dogs to giant breeds (I have a rambunctious and behaviorally challenging German Shepherd of my own!). I’m also experienced with shy or nervous cats, as well as rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, and mice. I currently have two guinea pigs and regularly foster small animals. Beyond personal pet care experience, I’ve volunteered with animal rescue organizations as a cat care attendant, adoption matchmaker, and dog handler, so I’m very comfortable working with unfamiliar animals and helping pets feel safe and comfortable. I also have experience administering medications and caring for pets with special needs. I’m an active, attentive, and reliable caregiver who’s happy to walk, run, play, cuddle, or just keep your pet company and comfortable while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your animals, and I’ll care for them like they’re my own.

Olivia was fantastic with our cat! She provided lots of love and pets on top of the standard cat duties, and he seemed in a great mood when we got home.

Olivia was fantastic, as usual. Book her- you won't regret it! She is the best! Simba was well played with, taken care of and fed. No complaints.
