one unfair review dropped my rating
Pet care experience
My current rating was impacted by one unfair review from a case where a dog had extreme separation anxiety, leading to noise complaints. I communicated clearly and responsibly with the owner throughout. All other clients have given me 5 stars. 🌟ONLY ONE DOG AT A TIME 🌟 — or two if they are from the same family! This way, I can give your pup my full attention and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved throughout their stay. Hi there! I’m Olivia – a music doctoral student at USC and a lifelong animal lover. I’ve previously raised a sweet Shiba Inu (who’s now happily living with my family) I currently live in a pet-friendly apartment with a dog park just downstairs and plenty of great spots for walks in the neighborhood 🌟 Rover is truly my passion project! As a musician, I love sharing sweet moments of pets listening to my piano playing. Sometimes I post these heartwarming videos on my social media — if you’re interested, your pup is welcome to join and be featured! It’s a lovely way to create joyful memories together. Since most of my work—practicing piano and teaching—is done from home, I have a flexible schedule and can spend lots of quality time with your furry friend. If you’re looking for a reliable, caring sitter who will treat your pet like family, I’d love to help. Looking forward to meeting your lovely pet soon!
Reviews
This is the second time I book with shimin, she was amazing with my pup—attentive, kind, and truly cared like family. She followed all instructions, sent regular updates, and made my dog feel safe and happy. I could tell my pup really bonded with her. Highly recommend Shimin for anyone looking for a loving and responsible sitter!
Shimin was incredible. She sent daily pictures and videos of my dogs. They loved her. I will be using her every time from now on. I would recommend her without reservation. She was available 24/7 and if there was any issues with the dogs she reached out to me immediately. I have 2 dogs. A puppy and a 1 year old. They are not easy and she was incredibly patient and loving. She was the best!
Olivia took great care of Guts for 3 weeks and took him on lots of fun little trips and fed him all kinds of yummy treats. He can't wait to go back
This is my second time booking with her and she’s amazing. She kept me updated throughout the day which I loved and my pup is also excited to see her. I would definitely recommend booking with her.

Safety, trust & environment
In my home, pets get plenty of love, attention, and a calm, safe environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddle sessions. I make sure they feel comfortable and cared for, as if they were my own. With a dog park downstairs and quiet indoor space, they enjoy both exercise and relaxation throughout the day.

Information Shimin O. would like to know about your pet
It’s important for me to know your pet’s daily routine, temperament, energy level, and any medical needs or allergies. I’d also love to know how they do with other animals, whether they’re crate-trained, and if there are any specific behaviors I should be aware of (like separation anxiety or chewing). The more I know, the better I can make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away!
A typical day
I love keeping pets happy and engaged! We’ll enjoy walks around the neighborhood, playtime with their favorite toys, gentle brushing, and lots of cuddles and affection. For dogs, we’ll visit the dog park downstairs for safe socializing and exercise. For cats, I provide quiet companionship, interactive play, and cozy nap spots. I tailor activities to match each pet’s personality and energy level!

Availability
Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home as a musician and doctoral student at USC. I spend most of my day at home practicing piano, teaching, or studying, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to give pets the attention and care they need. I take regular breaks throughout the day, which are perfect for walks, playtime, or cuddles. Since there’s a dog park right downstairs and pet-friendly walking areas nearby, it’s easy for me to incorporate outdoor time into our schedule too. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just keeping your pet company, I truly enjoy including animals in my daily rhythm—it brings me so much joy and peace.
