Highlights
Pet care experience
From a Family of Animal Lovers ❤️🏡
Hi, I'm Oliwia (but everyone calls me Olivia)! 😊 . I've grown up around both dogs and cats, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Over the years, I've looked after dogs for friends, family, and neighbours, including walks, day care, and overnight stays. . 🐶 I have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I always take the time to get to know each pet so I can provide care that suits their individual needs. . 🏡 What sets me apart is the genuine love, patience, and attention I give every animal. I treat every pet as if they were my own and do my best to make them feel safe, happy, and at home while you're away. . 📸 I'll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in good hands. 🤍🐾

Ratings and reviews
I can’t recommend Oliwia highly enough! My Shiba Inu, Mia, is incredibly stubborn and can be very difficult to handle. Before finding Oliwia, I’d booked four different sitters, and every single one struggled to manage her. I was honestly quite nervous about leaving Mia with someone new, but I booked Oliwia after a close friend’s recommendation, and I’m so glad I did. She was absolutely amazing with Mia from the very beginning. It’s like she has a special gift with dogs—they instantly trust and adore her. The biggest surprise was seeing how attached Mia became to Oliwia. She was so excited to see her and clearly loved every second they spent together. When I came to pick Mia up, she didn’t want to leave Oliwia’s side, and it was genuinely difficult to persuade her to come home! I’ve never seen her bond with someone so quickly. It’s such a relief to have finally found someone I completely trust with my dog. I’ll definitely be booking Oliwia regularly from now on. She’s kind, patient, professional, and truly wonderful with dogs. Thank you so much, Oliwia!
Oliwia Was excellent. She offered to meet up before hand. Was courteous& clear communication. Shared photos throughout the weekend. Max was clearly well looked after. Lots of walks, playtimes and swimming in the sea which he loves. Recommend Oliwia.
Oliwia has looked after my dog Betty twice now for day care. She is very patient with her, she takes her on long walks and looks after her really well. I would highly recommend her
Oliwia was wonderful with our westie Wilson who can at times be a "difficult customer" with his anxiety. I would strongly recommend her.
Olivia looked after our dog Daisy and she was great. Daisy can be a bit funny with new people but she settled with Olivia really quickly which was such a relief. We got a few updates and photos while we were away which we really appreciated, and when we came back Daisy was happy, calm and clearly well looked after. Would definitely use Olivia again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her 🧡
We couldn’t have asked for a better person than Olivia to look after our German Shepherd while we were away in New York for a week. From the start, she was so easy to communicate with and instantly put us at ease. Throughout the whole stay, she kept us updated with messages and photos, which honestly made such a difference and let us properly relax knowing everything was going smoothly. She was always quick to respond and clearly really cared about our dog, not just doing it as a job. Our dog can be quite a handful at times, but Olivia handled everything perfectly and we had absolutely zero issues. We came back to a very happy, well-looked-after dog, which says it all. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Olivia again and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely great with dogs

Schedule
🗓️ Schedule . 🐾 Pet care fits really naturally into my daily routine as I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. . 🏡 I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide walks, day care, and overnight stays throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. . 🐕🧡 I live with my partner, David, who absolutely loves animals too, so the dogs in our care naturally become part of both of our daily routines. Together, we make sure every dog gets plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. . 🐶 I make sure pet care is a priority while I’m looking after a dog, so they get regular attention, exercise, toilet breaks, and lots of companionship throughout the day. . ❤️ Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon playtime, or evening cuddles, I always plan my day around making sure each pet feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for 🤍🐾 . 🚗 I’m also happy to pick up your pet within the Portsmouth area – £7 one way £14 pick up and drop-off 🙂
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Here’s how I care for pets: 🐶🐱 . 🏡 Safe environment first — I make sure doors, gates, windows and anything risky are secure at all times . 📋 Follow your routine exactly — feeding times, walk schedule, treats, medication & house rules . 🚶♀️ Safe walks — dogs are kept on-lead unless we’re in a safe, agreed off-lead area (like a secure park or the Common) . 👀 Constant supervision — I always keep an eye on them so they’re never left in unsafe situations . 💧 Basic needs always covered — fresh water, regular toilet breaks, and comfortable rest time . 🎾 Play & attention — tailored to their energy level (whether they’re playful or prefer calm cuddles) . 🧼 Clean & tidy care — I respect your home and keep their space clean and comfortable . 📸 Updates for peace of mind — I send photos/messages so you always know how they’re doing . 💛 I also understand every pet is different, so I adapt completely to their personality, routine, and any special instructions you give me.
A typical day
A typical day with me starts with a warm welcome and a walk fairly soon after I arrive 🚶♀️🐶 — I find this helps dogs settle in quickly and start building trust and comfort with me. . If your dog is energetic and enjoys being outdoors, we’ll go on longer walks 🌿🌊, usually exploring nearby parks or walking by the sea. I always bring water and a bowl with me 💧, especially on warmer days, to make sure they stay hydrated and happy. . If your dog prefers a slower pace or has any limitations, that’s absolutely fine 🐕🦺💛 — I always adapt the walk to suit their needs, avoiding busy roads and choosing calmer, more comfortable routes. . Back at home, the day is a mix of fun and relaxation 🎾😴 We might play fetch, tug-of-war, or little enrichment games 🧠🐾, or just have cuddle time and chill depending on their mood. . I keep the environment calm, safe and open 🏡 so they can move around freely, pick their favourite spot, and feel completely at ease. I always follow their lead and make sure they feel secure, happy, and cared for throughout the day 💛
