Olivia offers in home pet sitting. In-home pet sitting is a personalized service where a pet sitter cares for pets in the comfort of their own home. Instead of being boarded at a facility, pets are able to stay in their familiar environment, which helps reduce stress and maintain their regular routines. She typically provides services such as feeding, walking, playtime, and administering medications, all tailored to the specific needs of each pet. In-home pet sitting offers peace of mind for pet owners, knowing their pets are receiving individualized care and attention while they’re away.

Could your dog benefit from a board and train program?
"What an amazing training experience!! My little Frenchie Otis had some bad experiences before he got to his forever home with me and I was at my wits end worrying about him and his intense anxiety & stress trying to put a collar on to take a walk. He had escalated to severe aggression from it.
I put him in the board & train program for help and after just a brief few sessions with Dave he is a completely different dog, happy & relaxed, excited to collar up and get out to sniff everything! He worked with me as a new dog mom just as much as he did with Otis which I appreciate. A million thank you's Dave!"
