Kind & Caring Petsitter

Pet care experience

**I CAN ONLY TAKE PETS THAT ARE POTTY TRAINED AND NEUTERED/SPAYED AT THIS TIME. Nothing makes my heart happier than spending time with dogs. I have loved all the dogs that have walked through my door. They all have a very special place in my heart. The joy of petsitting for me has been being able to form a close bond with the dogs that are in my care. I enjoy the process of getting them as relaxed and as happy as possible when they are with me. Some activities we've done together are going for walks around the neighborhood, the park, the beach, the dog park and lots of cuddle time and nap time. In addition, I try to incorporate some playtime into our day when indoors. Some games we have played before include fetch, tug games, hide and go seek, squeaky toys, puzzle games, interactive toys, snuffle mat and whatever toys your best friend would like to play. Moreover, I'm very easy going, patient, affectionate, kind, very attentive and I have a strong compassion and empathy for dogs. I believe in being kind and caring to all animals. Your dogs would be welcome to be on my couch or bed, if they so choose. I have one pet named, Prince, a teacup Chihuahua, who is playful, cuddly and very much enjoys the company of other dogs and people. I also host dogs from other families so if your furry friend is sociable and enjoys playing or being in the company of other dog(s), this would be a great place for them to enjoy their time while you are away. :)

I've reviewed Vida before, but want to leave a recent review. Vida and her husband James are deeply sincere animal lovers. I'm a repeat customer. I have two rescue dogs, one of whom now needs meds for a heart murmur two times a day. I trust Vida to give my dog this vital medication. She watches several pets at a time and every time, ALL the pets are surprisingly well-behaved. She can get six dogs to sit in a line for a photo (incredible). I can't speak highly enough about her. She's great.

Vida was great! I have a rescue with an abuse history who tends to be a little anxious. She made me feel so assured leaving him with her and he had a great time at daycare! I’ll be booking her again :)

My dog gets very excited when he gets to be with Vida and the other puppies. Vida is not just a dog sitter she is an advocate for the safety and wellbeing of the canine family. Her dog training expertise comes into play when she needs to use it. My family will continue to use Vida when we go on vacation or just to give our dog a day off to play. Thank you

Vida was a wonderful sitter! She kept me updated with numerous pictures and videos of Ryder’s stay with her while I was out of town. She took great care of him as if he was one of her own dogs. I would highly recommend her and definitely request her to sit Ryder again the next time I go out of town. 5 out of 5 stars!
