Highlights
Pet care experience
All Pets, All Love
I have always been a dog lover and have been surrounded by dogs of many kinds my whole life. This experience has taught me that every dog is unique, just like every person. I will always tailor my time to your pet and its needs. I have personally rehabilitated two dogs who came into my life with serious trauma-related behavioral issues. I trained two service dogs and have raised my own large dog from the time we rescued him at four weeks old. I have cared for many elderly dogs and dogs with special needs, including paralyzed dogs, dogs with neurological issues, dogs with mobility problems, and dogs requiring medications throughout the day. I am experienced in administering medications, including injections. I love to go on walks as much as the pups do; I will be happy to take your furry friend on long walks. I have experience with large and high-energy breeds and would be happy to take your friend to a park or green space to burn off some of those zoomies.

Vita also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
At home, I currently have one dog and three fish tanks. My dog, Pedro, was born in October 2023 and has just completed his service dog certification. Though these lovely creatures sadly passed away from old age, I have had parrots, snakes, geckos, and bearded dragons in the past, and I have experience caring for them. My philosophy on pet care is based on bonding and understanding. I am attentive to the cues an animal gives me, from needs to feelings. I always make sure the pet I care for feels its boundaries are respected, and I take new situations or introductions at its pace. In training, I know the importance of consistency and will abide strictly by whatever training protocols you may have in place. I know that every animal comes with its own story and its own needs, and I see my role as a collaborator to help your pet feel its best.
Ratings and reviews
Vita is amazing. She is brilliant and so warm and trusting. We will definitely use her again!
Vita was amazing with our dog. During the meet and greet we felt comfortable about they way she interacted with our old man (our dog is 14 years old). He was comfortable with her and enjoyed Vita's energy. Vita provided daily updates and picks which made our vacation more enjoyable. I will say it again, Vita is amazing!
Vita was so sweet with my pup and so was her very well-trained dog. I loved getting all the picture updates and will definitely be a repeat customer.
Vita went above and beyond to care for my dogs and house. She communicated well and frequently with daily reports with photos. I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs in her care.
Vita did a great job with our dog during a recent stay in Davis! She was reliable and very caring. We will definitely book her again on our next trip to Davis.
This was our third time working with Vita, and as always, she was fantastic! She provided over 20 days of continuous care for our home and dogs, ensuring everything ran smoothly. We felt completely at ease knowing our house and beloved pets were in such capable hands. Highly recommended!

Schedule
I recently completed my undergraduate studies at UC Davis. My primary occupation is art and music teacher; however, the classes I teach occur only a few times a week. I also work as a mental health crisis counselor, but I work from home and set my own hours. I have a lot of availability and can be flexible with your schedule.
