Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I intentionally keep my schedule flexible. I plan my day around the pets I’m caring for so they receive dependable walks, attention, exercise, and companionship rather than feeling like they’re being squeezed into a busy schedule.

Safety, trust & environment

I primarily care for pets in my clients’ homes because it allows them to stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I follow each pet’s schedule as closely as possible—including feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and plenty of affection—while also treating your home with the same care and respect I would my own. My goal is for you to return to a happy, relaxed pet and a tidy home.

Information Vive B. would like to know about your pet

Are they aggressive? Do they have any behavioral issues or special needs I should be aware of? Dietary restrictions? Can I give them a treat during and after the walk? Incontinence or bowel movement issues?

A typical day

Parks, dog runs, neighborhood walks or for older dogs, quiet and gentle strolls near home. I love to throw a ball or have a toy for them to play with and if they are water dogs, taking them to a lake or a pond is fun too!

Pet care experience

I live in Chelsea and work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide dependable walks, house sitting, and personalized care throughout the day. I took some time away from Rover while caring for my own beloved pet, and I’m excited to be back helping other pet parents care for their furry family members. I’ve cared for dogs and cats for over 10 years, including rescue and special-needs animals that require extra patience, consistency, and gentle handling. I understand the unique needs of pets living in Manhattan and Brooklyn—from luxury high-rises to brownstones—and I’m comfortable navigating busy city neighborhoods while keeping your pet safe, happy, and on their normal routine. I also treat every home with the utmost respect, so you’ll come home to a well-cared-for pet and a tidy space!

Vive was so professional and took such good care of my pups! She sent me a lot of updates which kept me relaxed during my trip. I was sure my dogs were in good hands! She kept my house clean and even washed her bed sheets and made the bed with the clean sheets before she left. I will definitely book with her again in the future and totally recommend her to anyone.

We love Vive! We have used her quite a few times for weekend trips to see family. She is very reliable and responsive. We are always updated on how the day is going. She is very sweet and kind to our pups. They love her so much when we get back they are always calm and comfortable. I would recommend her to anyone.
