My schedule varies as I work full time as well, but I am more than happy to coordinate and figure out a time that works for you!

If you have any special requests and/or instructions then I will work to achieve those with your furry friends, and make them as comfortable as possible!

“Carol took Nora while we went to the botanical garden. She played with her and kept her safe so we could enjoy our time in the gardens. I wish we could take her with us every time we travel ?”
About: Hi there, my name is Olivia. I started dog walking at my university in California to get my “pet-fix,” only to realize how much I love caring for other people’s pets! I seriously love all animals, from geckos to cats to dogs, and I would be happy to care for your friendly family members. I have been a pet caretaker for 20+ years (personally) and 4 years (professionally). I am a certified foster parent for Best Friends of Los Angeles, a certified foster parent for Midcoast Humane Society, and I have also spent two summers as a volunteer dog Walker for the Animal Humane Society. I most recently fostered a pregnant mama cat who gave birth to SEVEN kittens. I am happy to encourage any training techniques that you have been practicing as well reinforce (the much more necessary) attention and cuddles. I am also happy to arrange bathes, training strategies, or different medications per your necessity. My schedule is very flexible right now, as my last job recently ended, and I’m taking some time before starting my next chapter. In the meantime, I’ve been focusing on pet sitting, which has been a really fulfilling way to stay busy and do something I enjoy. I’m an active person who likes getting outside for walks and runs, and I love having animals be part of that daily routine. It’s been a great fit for both me and the pets I care for. I’m respectful, tidy, and organized, and I always aim to leave your home just as you left it—if not better. I’ve done both overnight stays and drop-in visits in the past, and I’m happy to be flexible depending on what works best for you and your pet.

Also love a lazy afternoon of belly scratches on the couch if that’s what your fur baby prefers! I can supply you with many glowing references, just ask. I really look forward to meeting you and your furry child! Let's get this adventure started! Thank you! I have open availability right now/ I can work around my own schedule and I consider caring for your pet my work and what brings me joy! I treat every pet and every home as it’s my own.
