Dogs are my best friends

Pet care experience

I have been from a dog household from when I was 14. I lost my dog last year and I walk and care for dogs of friends and neighbors just to hang out with them (the dogs that is!)

This was Kouna's first stay with Vivek and I hope not the last. Vivek is a warm, kind, and caring person. During our meet and greet, he made it clear that he wanted to know all about Kouna and took the time to thoughtfully review care instructions. I've had Kouna stay with other petsitters, but Vivek stands out from the rest.

She was well taken care of. She got more cuddles and playtime than usual. I will definitely ask Vivek for help again.

Looking for a caring, large hearted indulgent sitter and friend for your pet? Vivek is your guy! Vivek has cared for our 200lb English mastiff countess times in the 8 years she was with us. He was one of the fist people she stayed with outside our home and they instantaneously developed the most endearing and enduring bond. Our dog would eagerly await the times she would spend with Vivek (and his family), and as a dog parent, you soon understand this means it goes beyond a basic care giver relationship, to one where he truly cares for the health and emotional wellbeing of your pet. He is also highly knowledgeable of animal dietary requirements and can spend hours discussing health food options for your fur baby. I highly highly recommend Vivek and would blindly trust my most precious pet with him and you should not hesitate to do the same! You'll have peace of mind knowing your pet is in great hands.

We boarded our older dog at Vivek's home for two nights. He had plenty of room for our dog to run around and I could tell our pup got lots of love and attention! Vivek asked all the appropriate questions during our meet and greet, and respected our specific care instructions. You can tell Vivek absolutely loves dogs! I highly recommend Vivek and would definitely use his services again.
