Pet Sitting by Olive

Pet Sitting by Olive Pet sitter in the South & East Austin area. My name is Olive and I am a Texas State student who has been pet sitting in the Austin area for over 10 years!

I have experience with all kinds of animals from furry to scaley, as well as those with medical needs, and am always open to helping in any situation.

Hi y'all! I'm happy to announce that I am back to offering my sitting services again. I am slowly working on updating my page, but please feel free to reach out to me if you are looking for a pet sitter in the near future.

For previous clients: please consider reviewing the 'services' page, as I am updating my prices. While I do strive to keep my prices low, I am needing to make some adjustments to reflect my experience.

I am also expanding the range of where I provide services to include areas in Cedar Park, Round Rock, and more. Again, if you are curious about whether or not this includes you do not hesitate to reach out.

I am very excited to start working with everyone and their furry family again!

Long time no post, but hello! I'm making a formal post announcing that I will be moving the last week of this September, and will no longer be pet sitting in the Austin area. I am super thankful to have had the opportunity to run this little business and meet so many amazing people and their furry (scaley, feathery) friends, but I am moving on to new things. I hope everyone is having an amazing fall, and thank you all again!

Good evening! Thank you all for the continued support, and especially those that dropped by with pets to wish me a happy birthday. I couldn't have asked for a better Sweet 16.

I have been closely monitoring the situation with COVID-19 and, as posted a bit ago, have not been pet sitting in order to take extra precautions. After some careful considerations I am deciding to accept LIMITED jobs with extra precautions and a small change.

- I will not be taking any jobs from new clients. Before pet sitting I always ask to meet you and your furry friend which requires me to be in your home to not only be comfortable with each other, but your pets and where things are. I do not feel comfortable enough to return back to normal procedure, and will only accept jobs from people I have worked for in the past.

- I will only accept a maximum of THREE (3) jobs at a time. This has always been a personal limit of mine but I have never enforced it fully because I truly love my job. This is to limit my interaction, and to give enough time to properly sanitize before and after visiting each house.

- NO OVERNIGHT JOBS. Before I offered a service where I would spend the night with your pets in order to ensure that they were comfortable and happy, but it will not be offered during this time. This is also to limit interaction and time spent visiting.

As well as this I will be wearing a mask and gloves when inside houses, and properly sanitizing before and after each visit. If you hope to use my services but have any further questions please feel free to shoot me a message and I will gladly work things out.
I know this has been an odd summer for all of us, but I hope to open fully in the fall/winter season. Stay safe!

Hi all! Due to current events regarding the COVID-19 outbreak, I am putting a hold on accepting any jobs until everything is handled, and things are back to normal.

While I love pet sitting and miss seeing all your furry friends, this is a time where I need to put my families health and safety, as well as yours, above all else. I will update again as things change.

Hi all! Thank you for supporting my page.
For those of you going on vacation these upcoming holidays/summer and needing someone to watch your furry friends, I'm here to help! I have been pet sitting in Rattan Creek for over three years and I’ve always grown up around pets: cats, dogs, fish, rabbit. I will watch: small mammals, cats, small to medium well trained and friendly dogs (need to meet dog prior to your trip to make sure your furry family member won't mind my company). I have references.

I can feed, change/ fill water, clean litter boxes, vacuum and/ or sweep, change cages and fish bowls, clean messes, pick up p**p in back yard, walk dogs, and play with your pets. I will also text you, if you wish, each time I visit with photos and updates of your pets. For $10/visit. For five plus animals, I am open to discussing price. I’ve also done several overnight jobs where I keep them company through the night - if interested, feel free to message me and we can discuss pricing.

In addition to animals I can also water your plants, put out trash, and scoop out your pool. No extra price.

I live in Rattan Creek which means I can visit your house with ease. Cheaper option than boarding and minimal stress on your furry friends. If I am personally not available I have other well trusted friends that have watched our own animals that I can direct you to.

If interested, feel free to message me with any questions!

Got to watch this sweet girl Sandy this weekend. Just a fluff ball that wants attention and head rubs!
