Olivia can care for
Availability
I currently work an 8-4 in near the university so if you are in town I can let pets out during the day! After and before work I love to be active taking pets on runs and walks in the morning and evenings!

About Olivia V.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets with a strong focus on safety, consistency, and their individual needs. I always use leashes in public spaces unless otherwise directed, and I stay very aware of other dogs, cars, people, and anything else that could become a hazard. I keep a calm, attentive demeanor around animals and try to make them feel secure and comfortable. In a client’s home, I would be respectful of their routines, rules, and space, and I am happy to adjust walks, playtime, and care based on each pet’s age, energy level, and personality.
Information Olivia V. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know of any special needs or sensitivities your dog my have . Additionally if your dog is sensitive to anything please let me know ahead of time (ie, busy areas, kids etc.) also let me know what your dog loves to do!!I would love to cater to their needs and make sure they are having a good time
A typical day
A typical day with me would include lots of attention, exercise, and play. I love taking dogs on long walks, whether that is around the neighborhood or in nearby parks and trails, depending on the owner’s preferences. I also enjoy playing fetch, tug, frisbee, or just spending time keeping dogs engaged and happy. I have a lot of experience working with active dogs, including sled dogs, so I am very comfortable keeping high-energy dogs exercised in a safe and positive way. I also have training experience and would be happy to reinforce basic training or routines if requested.

Experienced dog sitter and walker!
Pet care experience
I have loved animals my whole life and have several years of hands-on experience caring for and training dogs. I spent 6 years training and competing in 4-H with my Yorkie, Milly, and we competed at the state level multiple times, which gave me a really strong foundation in dog handling, training, and patience. Beyond that, I have experience dog and house sitting for friends and neighbors, including walking, feeding, bathing, playing with, and caring for their pets. What also sets me apart is that I have now worked with sled dogs for the past two winters, including at Denali National Park. That experience has made me very comfortable handling high-energy dogs, sticking to routines, reading animal behavior, and providing attentive care in all kinds of conditions. I am confident working with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, exercised, and well cared for.
Reviews
Olivia is wonderful with our pets and takes great care of the house as well! She sends photos of all the fun she is having with our pups and they always look so incredibly happy! I’m so glad we found her!
Olivia was so incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and responsive! She kept us updated and truly went above and beyond caring for our wee ones. We felt safe leaving them in her hands and will 100% be reaching out again!
Olivia was so great with my two dogs. She left my house in perfect shape and my dogs were so happy with her. Will use her next trip for sure
Olivia did a great job as our Petsitter. She routinely walked our pups, kept track of our escaping cats and spoiled our hamster. She even kept all of my baby plants alive and protected them from too much rain. Olivia was super responsive and kept us in the loop while we were away. We even came back to a super clean house! I highly recommend her!
