2005–2008
Rogowska started her professional career on the ITF Circuit at age 14, losing in the first round of qualifying at a $25k tournament in Mount Gambier. At the age of 15, she won her first main-draw match at a $25k tournament in Melbourne. She had a disappointing 2007 season with a win–loss record of 3–9. Her fortunes picked up in 2008 making her first career quarterfinal in a $25k tournament in Berri after qualifying. She then made her first semifinal in a $10k tournament in Budapest. Late in 2008, at a $25k event in Traralgon, Rogowska qualified and then made the quarterfinals. Her final tournament of the year was a $25k tournament in Sorrento, Australia. Rogowska broke through and won her first professional tournament at the age of 17– with the loss of only one set.

After gaining another wildcard entry into the US Open, Olivia almost caused a major upset in her first-round match, taking world No. 1 and top seed Dinara Safina to three sets. She won the first set in a tie breaker and led 3–0 in the final set before her nerves set in and Safina made her comeback, losing 7–6, 2–6, 4–6. At the Wildcard Playoff for the 2010 Australian Open, Rogowska barely made the quarterfinal rounds by losing two out of three matches in the round-robin stage; she only made it through by one game. In the quarterfinals and semifinals Rogowska beat Monika Wejnert and Jessica Moore in straight sets, in the final Rogowska lead Casey Dellacqua 6–1, 5–2 and held three match points before Dellacqua came back to win 1–6, 7–6, 6–3.
2010
Rogowska played her first tournament in the Brisbane International defeating Anastasia Yakimova in the first qualifying round, before losing to Evgeniya Rodina. That began an 11-match losing streak, including a three-set loss to Sorana Cîrstea at the Australian Open.
She ended her losing streak in May reaching the quarterfinals of $50k+H Saint-Gaudens, losing to Kaia Kanepi, and continued to find moderate success in ITF events, while losing her first qualifying matches at the French Open, Wimbledon and the US Open.
Rogowska found form late in the year, winning the $25k Cairns doubles title, then the $25k Darwin singles title, followed by a semifinal at the $25k event in Alice Springs. She represented Australia at the 2010 Commonwealth Games, reaching the semifinals in singles where she lost to India's Sania Mirza 6–1, 4–6, 4–6, meaning she was relegated to the bronze-medal playoff where she lost to compatriot Sally Peers. She also made the doubles final with Jessica Moore to play for the gold medal but Rogowska and Moore lost the final to Anastasia Rodionova and Sally Peers, in three sets.
Her last tournament of the year was the Australian Open Wildcard Playoff. In the round-robin stage, she won her first match against Belinda Woolcock 6–3, 6–3, she then defeated Azra Hadzic 6–1, 6–3, and in her final round-robin match her Commonwealth Games doubles partner Jessica Moore, 7–6, 6–3.
