Highlights
Pet care experience
one household at a time
🌟ONLY ONE HOUSEHOLD AT A TIME 🌟 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!

Ratings and reviews
Shimin is the best. I’ve booked her a couple of times now and our dog has always come back happy. He even cried when we picked him up because he likes her so much! Highly recommend.
She was a great sitter to my boy Takito and she sent me updated thru out the whole stay, I will definitely book again!
Shimin was the best dog sitter that I’ve ever had! We booked last minute for my birthday, but she was more than accommodating and understanding. She sent me regular videos of my little doggy having the time of her life. She played the piano for her, took her out to get a pup cup, and walked her throughout her stay. I will definitely be rebooking! Thank you, Shimin!!
We love Shimin! She always sends updates and takes the best care of my dog :)
Shimin was a wonderful caregiver for our boy, this was our second time entrusting our bulldog with her! We are so happy to have found her as our dog is definitely not easy. Thanks again! (:
My dogs had a great time with Shimin, she is very kind to my dogs and send me a lots of pictures and videos during the stay. Definitely will rebook in the future

Schedule
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.

Home characteristics
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.
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!
