Pet care experience
I know how to make your pup smile. Combining the professionalism of a large pet sitting company with the compassion and commitment of an individual, I work with each client with a long-term scope to provide the best daily care to every animal. Most dogs do not get enough stimulation, be it mental or physical. I can help! At minimum, dogs will receive three walks per day, up to three hours outside depending on breed and weather. With that fun combined with training, playtime, and puzzle toys, my home is like dog camp! Well-trained pups have the most fun. Every moment is a learning opportunity: What does your pup struggle with? We can work on this together. What keywords and training techniques are you currently using? What behaviors are you discouraging? My experience working with dogs started in 2002 when I began to volunteer at the Animal Rescue League (now Humane Animal Rescue). Since then, I have volunteered at WPHS, fostered dogs and cats in need, and have studied dog training techniques, animal behavior, and animal communication. In 2013 I and opened my own pet-sitting company and had excess of a dozen regular clients of all ages, personalities, and sizes. Currently, I volunteer as a dog walker and trainer at Humane Animal Rescue. My extensive experience in animal shelters has grown my skills to specialize in training and calming active breeds and reactive dogs. I have a soft spot for those who have had tough backgrounds. I am a soothing presence for all species. I come with a guarantee: After time with me, your pup will be happy. <3
Reviews
Vivi is a very attentive, loving, and knowledgeable caregiver. We not only fully entrusted our Pit bull puppy in her care, but valued her insight and opinion in some behavioral practices to adapt for our own personal care methods. It is her positive attitude, comfort level with canines, and love that makes her an exceptional candidate. I'd recommend Vivi to anyone.

My current apartment is small and may not be suitable for boarding, so I have turned off that option. However, I have over ten years of experience in professional and personal pet ownership.

Information Cora V. would like to know about your pet
My experience at the WPHS, ARL, and professionally gives me confidence that I can handle any pup. On my shifts, I am usually the one to handle the largest and strongest dog.
A typical day
You and your pup choose the pace! I take pups on long walks on trails in parks, to the dog park, and even on jogs. For the sake of safety, I do not take client dogs to off-leash areas. Instead, we get tired on the trails.
