Pet care experience
I haven't been a dog owner my whole life, but I have owned them for the last 8 years. 3 seems to be our comfort number. haha. My husband and I currently have a 6 yo Lab mix named named Indy, a 5 yo Pug named Lugnut, and we recently adopted a 1 yo Doberman named Reign. This being said, I'm used to all sorts of personality types of dogs. Our Lab is our problem child as he has a bite record and isn't the friendliest with other dogs, but I've been working very hard to getting him more comfortable and more obedient to avoid anymore issues. Our Pug well... he's a pug and they have some health issues and Napoleon complexes. Our Doberman, she's just super high energy and ALWAYS ready to go, no matter how much we try to wear her out. I have taken all my dogs through a few levels of obedience training. Lugnut used to be an agility Pug, but he has developed luxated patellas, so no more jumping and weaving for him. Indy has gone through all levels of obedience training, agility, and nose work. I am currently working with Reign in beginner Obedience, but I plan on training her in Agility and Barn hunt.
Reviews
Olivia is wonderful with animals. She is very caring, and nurturing. She loves spending time with her pups, and provides a very enrichment filled environment; she is constantly teaching her pups new things! She has watched my dogs several times, and I am always confident that my pups will be taken great care of.

With my Indy not being the nicest, I would prefer not to bring any dogs back to my house. I am more than willing to come to your house and entertain your animals! Walks, yard play, or house play! I can even work with your dogs on some obedience work or any other issues you may be having.
Information Olivia S. would like to know about your pet
I am more than willing to work on any obedience training or problems you've been having with your pet. If you have anything specific you're working on with your pet, I am more than willing to help work on it. If your pet has any favorite toys or routes they like to walk, just let me know. If there are things they don't like, that would be great to know also.
A typical day
We love going to the dog park. I also like to take my dogs to open fields and play fetch. Training is always on, no matter what we're doing.

Availability
I currently work part-time as a Licensed Massage Therapist, so my schedule is very random. I'm available most mornings, but some evenings, if notified in advance I can finagle.
