Pet care experience
I love animals. I always find myself picking up strays and fostering animals. Because of my compassion and love for animals my friends and family are always asking me for pet advice, babysitting and the occasional trip taking their pets to the vet . I have about 10 years of experience taking care of pets. I have done things such as tame a timid stray, help deliver and bottle feed puppies quite a few times, administer vaccinations and medications, training (basic commands) and simple grooming (wash and brush). I have 4 dogs myself. They are all very playful little guys and always like making new friends. They like big & little dogs it doesn't matter to them they just like to play. Unfortunately, one of my dogs Jaky (German Shepherd) is great with other dogs but nervous around new people. She’s not agressive but she will bark at people she doesn’t know. If we do a meet and greet we can set something up with or without her. Typically, if I am not there to watch your pets my fiancé will be home with them. :) To me my doggies are my life. They bring me such happiness and love. While your pet is under my care they will get just as much love and attention as I give my babies and of course I will send picture updates and I probably will spoil them, too! ? I live in a house with a gated backyard. I keep my dogs outside in the yard for most of the day but if your dog is an indoor dog I will keep your dog indoors and I can bring my dogs in so he/she isn't lonely, if you prefer. Some common questions I get are what is the difference between dog boarding and doggy day care? And how do I pay? So here is my breakdown Dog boarding is overnight/ 24 hours or less. So for example...if you drop off your pet at 2pm then it is expected you pick them up by 2pm. If they pickup time is later then we can add a day care fee. (I allow a grace period for pick up and am flexible about it :) Doggy Day Care is for watching your pet for up to 12 hours. If you need more time please let me know and we can discuss an arrangement :) How do you pay? Once we get all the details for a booking you will pay through the app to confirm the booking/stay.
Reviews
Olivia and her husband are super helpful and kind with Princesa. She’s a puppy and can be a lot of energy and overwhelming but they take her willingly, it also helps that they have their own doggos for her to play with. They have even bathed her when she got dirty from playing outside!! Highly recommend, if you every need doggy day care! :)
Olivia and Alfredo are so welcoming and were happy to sit Koko! They provided her with much play with their pup Stella and helped with having her go outside to begin the potty routine. I’m very thankful I found them!! Thank you so much!!!
Olivia is great. She is very attentive to my dog and notices issues and situations then addresses them. She communicates well about bookings and visits. I am glad to have her as part of my dog care team.
She was great and helped me out in a bind when I needed a walker extremely last minute!

Typically, my dogs are kept outside during the day. I have a huge backyard for them to play in. At night, I bring my dogs in. However, if you prefer your dog to stay inside for the duration of the stay that’s fine with me. My dogs prefer outside so that’s why I keep them out in the day but I’m okay with have pets indoors.
Home
Information Olivia V. would like to know about your pet
Does your dog prefer to be alone or with other dogs? Does your dog like/dislike car rides and outings to the store? Sometimes we go to dog parks or pet friendly restaurants so if they like that sort of thing I might take them. Whats your dogs eating and activity schedule? Are they any rules you would like me to stick to (ie no jumping on the couch or bed)? Is your dog current on vaccinations and on a type of flea/tick medication? I ask that they are to ensure safety of yours and my dogs and of course dogs that stay in the future. For puppies, I understand they might not have all their shots or flea medication and that's fine I just want to know so that I can keep them safe, too.
A typical day
During hotter days, I have a kiddy pool my dogs play in. There is a nearby bike/walk trail near my house and I usually walk my dogs there. Its about a mile round trip.
