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.

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!

one household at a time

Pet care experience

🌟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!

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! (:

Shimin is great! Milky can be a bit difficult with people, but right off the bat he was comfortable with her. She was very responsive, sent lots of pictures, and I could tell he was very happy with her. He even cried when we left because he enjoyed being with her. I would certainly book dog sitting with her again.
