Olivia was great, clear communication. Argus had a good time and is still tired from his stay. Thank you!

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.

Information Olivia S. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preference, owning a pit bull myself I am 100% non-discriminatory to any cats or dogs. Please share: Any allergies Feeding times if applicable If they are housebroken if applicable If allowed on furniture if applicable What their temperament is and ways to accomodate them for the best possible visit. Where any leash, toys, and food are if applicable. Updates as much or as little as you'd like during the visit. I always go overboard with picture taking as I want to capture every moment of fun your dog experiences on the visit, so please do not hesitate to reach out during the stay and ask how they're doing at any point!

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). I love to be active physically and mentally with my dog, and I'm sure you'd like the same.
