I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I leave to walk my dogs and run errands but aside from that I’m with your pets. I prefer at least a couple days notice but can occasionally do last minute so don’t be afraid to ask!

Safety, trust & environment

I’m comfortable pet sitting at your home and will follow the routine your pet is used to. Unfortunately, I can’t offer boarding at my house.

Information Olivia W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pets have any special needs, boundaries (no touch areas), resource guarding or anything else I should be made aware of.

A typical day

Every pet has different needs. I gauge whatever those are and adjust accordingly. Sometimes a fetch marathon is in order, sometimes it’s snuggling on the couch or giving them plenty of pets while I work. Other times, puzzles to mentally stimulate them. I’ve done Easter egg hunts with some of my herding breeds - they love that!

Pet care experience

I’ve raised five rescue dogs and two rescue cats over the years. I currently have two pups: my Lola, a working breed with many VERY important jobs that the future of this country depends on (if you ask her) and Linus, my funemployed couch potato. My dogs are my life and they’re spoiled for it is their God-given right. I extend that same God-given right to every pet I care for :) They deserve the best in life! They’ll get as much walking, snuggling, fetch, or enrichment if they need their minds kept busy. I also sing opera and jazz to them but will stop if they tell me to 🙂‍↕️ I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs: high energy herding/working breeds, snuggly companion breeds, 70 lb lapdogs, dogs with separation anxiety, dogs with eccentricities that we don’t judge - this is a safe space. I’ve watched so many dogs that make me crack up with their antics. I’m also a big cat lover. I have experience with social cats who need to help out when I’m doing yoga or cooking or just want to snuggle and watch movies. I also have experience with divas and independent cats who lurk and come out when and if they feel like it. I know it can be tough when you’re away from your pets, so I do everything I can to keep their routines consistent and comforting. On the first day of a house sit, I’ll usually work a half day so I can spend extra time helping them settle in or get their new person excitement out. After that, I work a flexible 9-5ish from your home, so they’ll have plenty of company throughout the day.

HIGHLY recommend Olivia! She stayed at my home over Christmas with my 2 senior greyhounds and she did an amazing job. She sent great updates, asked questions when needed, and I could tell my dogs were comfortable with her. She also left my house in wonderful condition. If you need a reliable dogsitter, book Olivia!

I am so thrilled to have found Olivia. She treated my hyper dog with such care and compassion. Taking her for walks daily; kindly helping her behave better; letting her sleep in the bed. Olivia even helped me monitor an issue that happened in my house while I was away. She sent me darling photos twice a day and answered my texts immediately. There couldn’t be a better house sitter and dog lover. You will be very lucky to have Olivia care for your little one. She is truly excellent.

Olivia was so great with my pups! She made sure to send plenty of pictures and updates throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away on a work trip. I highly recommend Olivia!

Olivia truly lets us take a vacation without having to worry about our dogs or home. She is consistently sending photos and giving updates as well as seemingly enjoying time with our dogs. Very happy to have her as a sitter!!
