HI THERE
I’m Olivia, the owner / service provider, and Charlie was my childhood dog / best friend with four paws. Charlie made friends everywhere he went and my mission with Charlie & Friends is to continue his legacy- building lasting, trusting, relationships with pets and owners alike.
​
Along with Charlie, I've been caring for animals of a variety of ages, species, and breeds for as long as I can remember. I’ve personally owned multiple dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, fish, frogs, and more throughout my life. I also have experience with various reptiles, ferrets, chickens, horses, and am always willing to add more to my list! I am pet first aid certified and insured. I currently have two cats, Gunner and Milo, and a bearded dragon named Peaches, who you can find in the photos below along with some of the other pets I've had!
​
I started petsitting professionally in 2021 and it quickly became the best parts of my days. In early 2023 I started building a small team of pet sitters and dog walkers with unique experience to support your pets individualized needs. We strive to provide a consistent and caring experience between all of us at Charlie & Friends.
At Charlie & Friends, we believe pets are just as important as people and care for them all as if they were our own.
Fun facts about me: While studying abroad in Italy, I volunteered at a local dog shelter where I walked dogs through the Tuscan countryside every week! I volunteer with local rescues in CT as well.
