Pet care experience

Trust the best with your pets

Since I moved to the United States from France twenty years ago, my 5 best friends had been my 5 dogs. I took great care of my dogs as though they were my children, until they all passed from old age. I have been loving all animals my entire life. I currently do not have pets due to the suffering I recently went through when my last dog Betsy passed away.

Safety, trust & environment

When I care for pets in their own space, my priority is maintaining their established comfort zone and keeping their anxiety to an absolute minimum. Respecting the Home Ecosystem: I follow your exact house rules (e.g., allowed on the couch vs. floor-only, specific feeding spots, crating routines). The "Work from Your Home" Benefit: For overnight or extended house sitting, I bring my laptop and work right from your living room or kitchen table. Your pet gets the same "companion presence" they would get if you were home on a weekend. High-Quality Drop-Ins: For quick visits, I’m thorough. I don’t just rush in, scoop the food, and leave. I ensure the water bowl is scrubbed, accidents are checked for, and your pet gets dedicated, uninterrupted one-on-one affection and playtime. Security & Communication: I leave your home exactly as I found it (lock checks, bringing in mail/packages) and send you regular photo and text updates so you can see how happy and relaxed they are.

Oliver did a great job caring for Ranger and Tillie. Ranger is 13yo and takes oral meds for congestive heart failure and needs eye drops several times a day for his glaucoma. We really needed someone who could stay on top of his med schedule, and Oliver did so! He communicated with us and sent pictures. We are so thankful for Oliver. Ranger and Tillie can't wait to have him come back! Thank you very much!

Finding Olivier through Rover truly felt like finding an angel. I was thousands of miles away when a loved one was unexpectedly hospitalized, leaving his dog, Malibu, alone in a new city with no friends nearby to help. Olivier responded immediately and jumped into action. He was originally hired simply to walk Malibu, but he went so far above and beyond. He made sure she had food and fresh water, cleaned up after her and cared for her with genuine patience and compassion during a frightening and stressful experience. Malibu had made a mess of herself during the ordeal, and Olivier even voluntarily offered to bathe her. He sent photos, kept me updated on her anxiety and graciously tolerated my countless messages as I tried to navigate both the emergency and an unfamiliar app. Knowing Malibu was safe with someone who truly cares about animals brought me enormous relief during an unbelievably stressful time. Olivier is kind, dependable, compassionate and absolutely exceptional. I cannot recommend him highly enough, and I hope this is the beginning of a wonderful friendship between him and Malibu.

Olivier was very accommodating of my last minute booking request. He provided my husky mix with quality care and was very sensitive to his exercise needs while also balancing the hot weather. Instead of just a neighborhood walk in the intense sun, he took the initiative to drive to a shadier park so my dog could still get outside time. He was very communicative and sent great photos. I would definitely rebook with Olivier in the future.

Schedule

When I’m not designing digitally or playing shows across New Mexico, I’m working from home with a completely flexible schedule. This means I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets! From midday potty breaks and fun games to long neighborhood walks, I’m ready to keep your furry friends company.

I would like to know your dogs preferences for food, treats, and specifics about his daily routine. How does he reacts with other dogs or breeds? What type of noises set him off? Are there any sensitive areas of the body when touched? Any corks that I should be aware off.
