Hi! I'm Olivia 🐾

I would looove to look after your loyal companions while you're busy! I'm responsible, patient, caring and, most importantly, a huge animal lover.

I recently spent three months volunteering at a dog shelter in Thailand, where I helped care for multiple dogs every day. My main responsibilities included walking groups of shelter dogs, cleaning and maintaining their living areas, feeding, socialising and generally making sure they were happy and comfortable.

Shelter dogs all have very different personalities, and some of the dogs I worked with were anxious, nervous or reactive. This taught me how important it is to be patient, read a dog's body language and let them build trust at their own pace. One of my favourite parts of the experience was taking groups of dogs for early-morning beach walks and splashing in the shallow water with them.

I've grown up around pets and have also pet-sat in Melbourne and on the Sunshine Coast. One of my longer stays was looking after a lovely dog called Opie for a month. I walked him every day, fed him twice daily, kept him company and gave him plenty of playtime, cuddles, tug-of-war and fetch in the garden.

🐶 What I can offer

I'm happy to provide regular walks, playtime, feeding and lots of attention! I love getting outdoors, so I'm more than happy taking dogs for longer walks to the park or beach and throwing a ball around with them.

I'm comfortable caring for multiple animals at once and have experience managing groups of dogs through my shelter work. I'm also happy caring for dogs who might need a little extra patience while they get comfortable with someone new.

Please tell me as much as you can about your pets, like their favourite walks, games, feeding routine, little quirks and anything they love (or don't love!).

Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions. I'd love to hear about your pet and hopefully meet them soon! 🐾❤️
