Longtime animal nerd and lover
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Olivia and would love to help care for your amazing pet(s)! I have had many pets throughout my life that I have cared for, including cats, guinea pigs, salamanders, anoles, and frogs. I also have experience volunteering at animal shelters, house-sitting dogs and cats, including several senior dogs, and helping foster adult cats and kittens. I recently obtained my Master’s degree in Zoology and have experience working with many kinds of animals. During my education, I also obtained an IACUC animal care certification which included lessons in basic animal care and safety. I love being around animals and would love to get to know your furry friend!
Reviews
Olivia is awesome for dropins. My pets are always for.
Absolutely would recommend!! Such a sweet, kind person you know your pet will be safe with. She kept us updated multiple times a day with pictures and was just overall the best help we could have asked for! Thank you Olivia!!!
Olivia took care of my two needy cats while I was away on vacation and was a tremendous pet sitter! She is attentive and caring towards animals and it was easy communicating with her, both before our trip and while we were away. You can tell she is a person who genuinely cares about taking care of pets and being mindful of their needs. I will definitely be using her pet caregiver in the future and highly recommend her for your pets too!
Olivia has walked my dogs and house sat for me multiple times and has been nothing short of amazing. She is very attentive to my pets and always follows the directions I leave. I know my babies are in good hands with her!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
My experience working with cats and dogs has taught me that the best way to build trust with an animal is through patience, love and respect in an environment where they feel comfortable. For this reason, I prefer to care for animals at their house rather than taking them to mine. I am happy to take your pets for walks or to parks though! Safety is always my top priority when caring for animals and I am experienced in building safe and trusting relationships with many kinds of pets.
Information Olivia W. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has special needs or any fears/behaviors I should be aware of. I also appreciate knowing what they like to do, which toys are their favorite, and if I am permitted to give them treats while I care for them. The more information the better for both me and your pet!
A typical day
I would love to explore the neighborhood and nearby parks with your pet is they are feeling energetic. Please let me know if they have any favorite places to go! I also enjoy playing with them and giving them lots of pets. I am happy to accommodate my activities to fit your pet and their energy level.
