Olivia can care for
Availability
I am currently a student doctor at LMU-DCOM. While people think medical students are busy at class all the time, we mainly are holed up in a room studying. I rather spend my studying time with your pet. My schedule allows me to give potty breaks whenever your pet needs it.

Safety, trust & environment
It’s best to be cautious when I first enter a new pet’s home. They’re nervous about me so I go nice and slow to ensure I earn their trust. From there I make sure they have all their needs met from basics to scratches for hours.
Information Olivia U. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know size and general energy level so I can plan how they’ll get their exercise with your permission of course. I’ll take any breed, all dogs are good dogs regardless of breed.
A typical day
We can go for walks around their home or or I can take them to a nice park. If we’re at a dog park or an enclosed area we can play fetch and tug of war. As long as they’re safe, they can run till they’re exhausted. I’ll make sure they’re safe around other dogs if we encounter them. They’ll get plenty of loving and can watch TV or study with me. For cats, I respect their space and if they want cuddles and play time I’m all for it.

Pet care experience
I’ve was working through Rover during my undergrad years with around eighty different sitting jobs under my belt. I took a break during my gap years between undergrad and medical school to get more clinical experience. On top of that, I’ve owned various dogs and cats of all ages. I know how to train and take care of puppies and kittens. I can provide comfort to senior animals. I can get any animal to take pill medicine or drops but I don’t have much experience with shots. I love long scratching/cuddling sessions and can play all day with energetic youngsters.

Reviews
I'm such an anxious pet mom, so I knew I needed someone who would be reliable and attentive with my babies, and Olivia absolutely nailed it! I got check ins with every visit, and she even went above and beyond with our one little derp girl who has bathroom issues. We travel frequently and often stress about how to care for the cats while we're gone, but I feel so much better knowing we can book Olivia. Thank you!!
Olivia did great with my dogs! She was very communicative and went above and beyond what she had to do! Will definitely use again!
We much appreciate Olivia U’s great care for our two kitties — one who is elderly and the other who is very skittish. They fared quite well, and the photos of our elderly kitty letting Olivia pet her were wonderful!
Olivia is hands-down the best sitter we have ever used! I was nervous about leaving my cat, Macy, who is a bit of a shy flight risk, but Olivia handled everything with total professionalism and care. Not only did she provide excellent updates on Macy, but she also proactively helped with our home—watering plants, bringing in mail, and even taking out the trash when she heard a reminder we had forgotten to tell her about! She even helped troubleshoot our electronic lock. She is reliable, observant, and truly goes the extra mile. I cannot recommend her enough and will definitely be booking her again!
