Safety, trust & environment

When seeing your pet for a drop-in visit, scheduled walk, or overnight care, I will frequently update you with details of the visit, pictures of your pet, and you will be promptly notified should any issues arise. If you feel an emergency requires a vet visit, I will gladly transport your baby to your hospital of choice. Whatever instructions you leave for me will be meticulously followed to ensure the best possible care for your animals. No task is too big!

Information Olivia V. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, medications, or quirks ahead of the booking, and I will make sure to accommodate! Additionally, I would like to know which vet clinic your animal visits in case of emergency.

A typical day

I will tailor each visit to your pet’s specific needs. Whether that be lots of playtime and long walks around the neighborhood, or a more relaxed visit while I spoil your pet with attention. I offer light brushing for those dogs whose coats need the attention, and will also bathe or more thoroughly groom your pet as an additional add-on service.

Vet Student, Pet CPR Certified, CVA

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Olivia, I am a veterinary student at State, and I look forward to working with you and your animals! I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science, have been a Certified Veterinary Assistant for the last 4 years, am RECOVER pet CPR certified, and have been trained in animal emergency response. Before vet school, I worked as a veterinary technician for 4 years. I have experience in small animal general practice, and large animal emergency medicine. Thanks to this experience, I am also comfortable giving medications of all types (oral, topical, injectable, etc.), meaning that I am ready to provide whatever level of care your animals require! I have experience with animals of all sizes. I have been a lifelong dog owner, raised and showed rabbits in high school, fostered kittens in college, and have received medical and husbandry training for a variety of species. I've taken care of many furry family members, and can't wait to help with yours!

Olivia was absolutely wonderful caring for our two 1 year old labs who have way too much energy! Very consistent communication with photo updates, absolutely no change to their normal routines. We were apprehensive using Rover for the first time but Olivia explained the process thoroughly and we had no doubt the dogs would be in amazing hands! Will definitely be booking with Olivia again if we need to, she is wonderful!

Olivia did a great job. She survived our puppy and worked with us when we feared our flight would be delayed. We received updates throughout the day, she did small tasks around the house all while taking great care of our dogs. We would definitely hire her again

Olivia was wonderful with our elderly dog. Molly can be difficult taking her medications, but not a problem for Olivia! She got creative! Highly recommend Olivia.

Olivia was great with our rambunctious four dogs. She house sat for a few days and it was so nice not to worry. She sent pictures and updates a couple times a day and they all looked so content. We would definitely have her in our home to take care of our pups again.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
