Trusted care for your dog and house

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Viva, I own a 9 year old mini schnauzer named Isabel. I walk with Isabel every day and I would love to take your dog along with us! Some of our favorite trails are University lake, Connors bog, Bicentennial park, Kinkaid and the coastal trail. Isabel is a very social girl, she gets along with all types of dogs, big or small! She loves to play and chase, but is also very calm and likes to take long naps. If you have a social dog I'm sure they would be fast friends. I have been around dogs my whole life, I have experience with older dogs and with puppies. I understand how hard it can be to leave your fur baby at home while traveling, but you can rest assured knowing that I will treat your dog with the same love and care that I give to my own dog. I typically work 8:00-5:30 Monday-Thursday. Isabel and your dog can keep each other company during the day and then on the weekends I will take them to the park or on longer walks or hikes. My rates are set higher to account for Rover fees, I will give a lower rate if you pay through PayPal.

Viva took such great care of our dogs and home, we knew everyone was in good hands and our dogs and animals were well cared for and loved. Viva was flexible with some adjustments to our schedule and was happy to send updates throughout our trip.

Viva was fantastic caring for our home and sweet dog Chester the week we were out of state. She provided us daily reassurance, photos, and feedback when we texted her questions. Her schnauzer, Isabel, was a daily companion for Chester. She even extended her stay at our house an additional half day to give Chester company after our flight back to Alaska was delayed. Viva was everywhere responsible and caring, can't recommend her strongly enough.

From the first day meeting Viva, I knew my fur babies would be in good hands. Daily, Viva sent me pictures and updates.

Safety, trust & environment

I typically don’t board dogs in my home because I live in an apartment. When I’m in a clients home I try to keep the dog in their routine as much as possible.

Information Viva P. would like to know about your pet

It is helpful to know if the house I’m staying at has a fenced backyard and if there are any holes in the fence, my dog Isabel likes to be explorative. And it’s helpful to know if the dog I’m watching has any aggressive tendencies.

A typical day

Lots of play time. If the dog I’m watching is used to being more active I’ll try to jog with them or go hiking on the weekend.

I always take a 30-60 min walk around 5:45 and on my days off I usually try to get some extra walks or hikes in.
