Operations Coordinator
One of only a handful of Certified Professional Animal Care Providers (CPACP) in Massachusetts, Olivia joined The Grinning Dog team in June 2019. With a dry sense of humor, a ready smile, and a steady manner, she is responsible for the care and comfort of both canine guests and their human families.
"I'm a California transplant and Mount Holyoke College alum. A longtime animal lover, I grew up with boxers, cats, rats, and frogs (and guinea pigs, canaries, crickets... you get it). Whether in a shelter, barn, zoo, or agility ring, I've long been fascinated by the human-animal relationship, and have enjoyed studying biology, agriculture, and behavior.
In my off hours, I enjoy experimenting in the kitchen, traveling, crafting, kayaking, hiking, dancing, and horseback riding. I'm often accompanied by my two fuzzy shadows!"
