Give your dog a vacation!
Pet care experience
Located in a great area with lots of areas to walk and play w your pup! We give updates with pictures and emails to assure you that your pet is doing alright while you are away. About this sitter: Hi, my name is Vivian and I am an enthusiastic dog lover! I adopted my dog Wally from CAMO rescue, but originally got on Rover when I was in the NE and missed having canine companion on a daily basis. I am both responsible and willing to sit any pooch that needs it! I've volunteered at shelters (recently Best Friends Animal Society New York) and have been around dogs my whole life. We understand costs can add up when finding a place for your dog while traveling. We are located north central Austin, and I would give your dog all the attention, walks, and pampering a dog should have. I promise you won't regret it and I'll treat your dog as if they were my own! Why I love dog sitting I've been a dog lover since I was a little girl. I adopted a Golden/Cocker mix who was my first love, and now I have my love Wally! I have volunteered in shelters since attending college and during my spare time on weekends over summer when I'm not working. I have also dog-sat a German Shepard and a Dachshund for my manager while abroad in London. I get all the dog-loving time I can get! About my yard We have a small backyard and also have parks/trails around us in the area for your dog to enjoy! My experience administering medication Yes, I am comfortable administering medication with detailed instructions.
Reviews
Vivian and Lily are wonderful sitters! They kept my dog Daisy while I was out of town for the weekend and she was comfortable with them right away. It was our first experience with Rover and Vivian and Lily made it a great one. They provided updates, pictures, and were super accommodating to our schedule. Will definitely be using them again!
Vivian and Lily were amazing! Cleo stayed with them on two separate occasions while I was working overnight shifts. First of all, they were super accomodating with my schedule including early drop offs and flexible with pick-ups. Most importantly, they took great care of Cleo - I received many photos and I could tell when I picked her up that she was happy and healthy. Will definitely have them sit for Cleo again soon!
I left my puppy Candy with Vivian when I was out of town. She is a very responsible dog lover!!!! She took my puppy out for walk, and had fun! Candy was very happy when I picked her. Great thanks to Vivian!!!!
Not only were Vivian and Lily super accommodating to my schedule, they were AMAZING with Ozzy. I couldn't be happier. He can be slow to warm up to new people, but he took to them right away. They took him all over town, to parks, festivals, shopping, and even a movie at the hatch shell. Each night, they sent pictures of their daily activities, from cuddling on the couch to playing with other dogs in the park. I felt relieved to see that Ozzy was happy and well cared for. When I picked him up, he was totally exhausted and all smiles! Even if I didn't require sitters, I would consider paying them to take Ozzy for a day as a mini vacation for him! I would highly recommend leaving your dog with Vivian and Lily, as I hope to do it again.
