“Be SURE to choose Olivia G. for your beloved pet's needs. My dog Chance fell in love with her at first sight. She came every day to walk him, sent me ADORABLE pictures so I could feel reassured at work, and was 100% reliable. Olivia helped me so much with the Rover site, as well.

When the school year begins my schedule will change but I will be happy to adjust with you when the time comes and find something that works!

I work three 12 hour shifts a week and my hospital utilizes self scheduling. I can be adaptable and flexible for pet care. I live in a friendly suburban neighborhood that is pet friendly.

About: I've had dogs all of my life, and created such strong bonds with each one of them. I've always been someone my family and friends can turn to when they leave to care for their pets as I ensure they are not only taken care of, but comfortable and happy as well. Animals are so special to people and I will always drop everything to care for them. I'm completely free for the summer before I attend my first year of college in the fall. When I have classes, I plan to schedule pet care visits in my free time and days off as well. I'm a very communicative and responsible person who can easily adapt to the needs of my clients and their pets. My main priority is the comfort of the animals and I will do whatever it takes to ensure that and their happiness.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and worked in dog training for over a decade, and I’m comfortable with all sizes and breeds! I’ve also helped raise puppies to become guide dogs for the blind, and am experienced with senior dog care as well. I am a grad student and am available on weekdays, evenings, and weekends for pet sitting, house sitting, and dog walking! I can also be available on certain vacations and holiday breaks for pet sitting, house sitting, and dog walking. I’m comfortable working with dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds. I have 12 years of dog sitting and dog training experience and am more than happy to stay at your home with your dog(s) in order to make sure all of their needs are met. I have cared for senior dogs primarily over the last five years, so I am very comfortable and experienced with older dogs and their specific needs. I also have experience administering medication to dogs both orally and topically.
About: I’m a veterinary technician with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and needs. From playful puppies to senior dogs requiring extra support, I bring medical knowledge, patience, and genuine love to every pet I meet. What sets me apart is my ability to spot health concerns early, administer medications when needed, and keep pets comfortable and happy. Families can feel confident knowing their furry loved ones are cared for by someone with both professional training and a true passion for animals. Pet care has always been a natural part of my routine. Between my professional training as a veterinary technician and my years of personal experience, animals are at the center of my daily life. Whether it’s walking dogs, playing with cats, or checking on senior pets, I build my schedule around giving them consistent, reliable attention. Caring for animals isn’t something I “fit in” — it’s something I look forward to every single day! When caring for pets, safety and trust come first. In my clients’ homes, I follow their established routines closely, keeping pets comfortable in their own environment while providing careful supervision. I’m trained to recognize signs of stress, illness, or discomfort, and I can administer medications if needed. My goal is to create a calm, positive environment where pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for — just as if they were my own.

“Annie is an AMAZING pet sitter! I went on vacation for almost a month in June, and there was no question who I’d ask to care for my dog; and even my plants. She’s incredibly loving, attentive, and treats your home and pets like her own. Throughout the trip, Annie sent me regular updates and tons of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Honestly, my dog looked like he was having the time of his life... They went hiking, swimming, exploring, and hit the dog park. Annie clearly loves animals and is truly great at what she does. She’s kind, responsible, and has such a natural connection with pets. If you're looking for someone trustworthy and full of heart, Annie is the one.”

Charlotte B.
“Charlotte is the best! She is incredibly knowledgeable about dogs, with years of experience caring for her own dogs, and as a Seeing Eye volunteer. I have personally known Charlotte for 10+ years. In that time, without fail, I have known her to be a dependable, trustworthy, smart, resourceful person. There is no one I would trust more to take care of my own doggie (and kitty!).”
Alyssa T.
“Regarding Alyssa Trabal's ability to care for pets, Alyssa Trabal is an exceptional caretaker of my senior Labrador, who requires additional support. She is incredibly prompt with her timing and adheres to the medications my Labrador receives daily. Additionally, she has shown an exceptional and insurmountable ability to show affection and follow the daily list of duties I provided her while I was on vacation, as I have asked her to walk, bathe, and feed my senior Labrador while I was not present. She is an animal lover at heart and professionally assumes the responsibility of caretaker, as I would recommend her services to anyone who does not want to worry about their pet while absent. I can highly attest to her services as a caretaker and loyal friend to my senior Labrador, as both my dog and I love her and would hire her again for future services when needed.”
