Highlights
Pet care experience
It will be like you never left!
I grew up in a household that raised Shar-Pei puppies and have always been a dog lover. I've been a full time dog owner for over 12 years and would love to extend my care to your pets as well. I'm a nurse so my schedule tends to fluctuate, with rotating mornings and evenings free. I know how stressful it can be to find the right kind of care for our pets while we're away, and I'll always do my best to accommodate anything you and your pups need. By providing care in your home I can give your pets the comfort and routine that they're used to as well as putting your mind at ease while you're gone :) Can't wait to hear from you!

Vivian takes great care of my dogs and is super communicative. It’s such a relief to know my girls are getting great care while we’re away.
Vivian is always easy to schedule with and takes such great care of our dogs. It’s so comforting to know that they’re loved just as much as if they were home with us. Highly recommend this sweet family to take care of your pups!
Vivian was great with our dogs. She gave updates and we felt like our dogs were loved and cared for while we were away. We’d book with her again in a heartbeat!
First let me say, this was the first time our dog has ever stayed with someone outside our house. Typically we have always hired a neighbor’s kid to stay in the house with him while we were away. We are selling our house, so this wasn’t an option this time. Buddy is an older dog and very indifferent to other dogs (and people). I was sincerely concerned about how he would take to being in an unfamiliar place with people (and dog) he wasn’t used to. Not only would he be happy, but would he make his sitters miserable as well. Happily we found Vivian and Zach (and their dog Mortisha). Quickly he appeared to be relaxed and comfortable from the pictures they sent daily. He even found a window seat to look out from, one of his favorite pastimes. Never was he reported as acting out or a problem. True test was when I picked him up, while glad to see me, looked as if he was going to miss Mortisha. Thank you Vivian and Zach (and Rover) for making his stay so worry free.
Vivian is a "no drama" sitter. Bandit does great there and they are so easy to work with. Thanks for all your help!
Vivian did a fantastic job with our dogs! She sent several pictures and videos of our dogs at the park and in her home. It really looked my dogs were having a good time with her. Would recommend to others. She was prompt with responses and would love to use her to care for our dogs in the future!

Schedule
My husband and I work different hours, so I'm usually home in the mornings and he is home in the afternoon. There are some days that your dog may be alone for a few hours at a time.
