Hi there!
Pet puns aside, I would love to take care of your pet(s)! I have lived with animals my entire life (mostly cats and dogs, sometimes the odd fish or bunny), and I love looking after other people's pets as well. I understand well that a pet is part of the family and should be treated as such. I am currently a graduate student at the University of Ottawa, studying Criminology, and my schedule is quite flexible.
Although I cannot offer to house your pet in my own home, as I live in an apartment with 3 cats of varying personalities, I would be more than happy to make multiple visits (up to 3) to your home every day, at your request. I can feed, play with, walk, and administer medication to your pets. At your request, I can stay overnight with your pets to make sure they're comfortable and calm while you're away. I am very comfortable walking cats or dogs (big or small), there is a dog park just down the road from me, I am comfortable taking dogs out for up to an hour and a half, or longer if requested by you.
I love all animals and, if given the opportunity, would love to meet and get to know your pets! My rates for everything are pretty flexible. I look forward to hearing from you!
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
Olivia has looked after my two cats multiple times and there is no one else I would recommend! We were super nervous about leaving our babies alone for the first time since the beginning of COVID, since we’d all got a bit out of socialization practice. I think we were definitely even more nervous than the cats about leaving for the holidays! Olivia was AMAZING with both of my skittish cats, and us nervous cat parents. She sent lovely daily updates, including photos and videos, followed my persnickety cat parenting advice exactly, and played with the boys every day. She even managed to win over my shyest little boy, and he doesn’t come out from under the coach for anybody. Now he’s absolutely obsessed with her, and I think maybe a bit disappointed his parents are back and he can’t see Olivia. Olivia is just the best. Cannot recommend her enough, and will be recommending her to the fellow cat-parents in my life as well!
Olivia is a #1 cat sitter.
