Reviews
Olivia was great, clear communication. Argus had a good time and is still tired from his stay. Thank you!
Thank you for taking great care of Gracie.
Olivia was fantastic. She went above and beyond what was expected of her. She communicated with me through out my doggies stay. I felt at ease leaving my dog with her. I will most def use her again without hesitation.
Olivia was great with Mick. She is very intuitive to a dog's needs. Mick enjoyed playing her dog, Maus. I would not hesitate to book with olivia again.

Safety, trust & environment
While sitting your dog or coming for a drop-in I'm always sure to allow your dog time to acclimate to me. During that initial period we keep it relaxed and just get to know each other. I always prefer to do a quick meet and greet for this reason. During that initial meet and greet we'll go over any instructions on care you feel necessary, activity level, feeding, and any medications and allergies I should know about. To assure the safety of your pets, I will never remove the leash outdoors on walks or hikes. Many sitters do other work while sitting your pet, and while it may be beneficial to them, I do not feel it's beneficial to your dog and can cause numerous safety hazards. You can feel safe knowing that your dog will always have my full attention while in my care.

A typical day
Exercise, as much or as little as directed. Fetch and or tug of war. Training games(I own a "Bob-It" IQ Ball, and interactive puzzles for the cold months. I also have extra leashes short to 30ft for play in open fields and parks. I can supply treats if needed, especially with the interactive puzzles(please share any allergies if so).
