Highlights
Pet care experience
All God's Creatures!
I am a HUGE Animal Lover, loving all creatures. I am a mature woman who has had animal companions my entire life. I have worked off and on over a 30 year period as a professional pet groomer, and as a pet sitter for family, clients, friends and neighbors. As well as through Rover in California. I was in California for three years, to spend time with my aging/ailing Mother, hence my pic's and reviews aren't local, but for Bandito in dt Portland. But Oregon has been my home since 2000. I moved to La Grande in Dec. after my apartment building in Portland caught fire on 11/30/25. My adult son has lived here for a decade and his Grandparent's the Slaters have been here forever! When I was in Cali. I was able to do boarding/sitting at home on a quarter acre. I am unfenced in a rental here in La Grande, so I am only open to house/pet sitting in your home. I have experience with dogs, cats, Squirrels, pet Rats, Birds and some reptiles. Just ask me if I am willing of what ever it is you have, then show me what needs to be done. And Yes!, open to some farm animals as well! I love ALL of God's creatures! I have been referred to as a Dog Whisperer by friends and family that know me best, as I do well at reading animals energy, expressions, body language and cues. Basically, I love animals and enjoy turning this love into a service for your convenience and mine. I have a short list of requirements for pet sitting: •Dog's must be non aggressive for the safety of the dog(s) and myself. •My Day time Pet Sitting rate is for up to an 8 hour period, additional time will be charged accordingly. If you need more time, please communicate with me and we will come to an agreed rate. Overnight stays have different listed rates. *My Drop In's Rate is for a 30 mins., or a 1 (one) hour period. *My Walk Rate's are for 30 mins., & 60 mins. Dog's must be leashed trained. •Overnight Sitting will have an agreed upon time for you to return before it turns into another charged day. Extra time will be charged accordingly at $10 per hour. Or... •Custom quotes are available for longer stays if you are going off for a weekend or a week long vacation for example. I am for the most part flexible on starting and ending times with longer stays for your travel ease. I am flexible within reason and easy to work with. Please enjoy my photo's and thank you for considering me!

Safety, trust & environment
I am very conscientious about safety for any animal. My current yard is not fenced and my dog has adjusted quickly to holding back while I am first to step out and check the yard for any neighborhood animals, dogs, cats, deer, squirrels and the like. Cat's stay indoors unless they are harnessed and leashed up, or in a cat backpack!
Ratings and reviews
Vivian was great! She took my dog on a walk while we were out for the day, and she even made him a little sweater when we forgot his! I received lots of photos and know he had a good time.
She took good care of my baby and send me lots of pictures!
Our dog had an excellent stay with Vivian. She took her to the river to cool off on a very hot day. She was flexible and I would highly recommend her for future dog sitting services.
Vivian was great with Zeke. She has a lovely home with a big fenced in yard, she was very accommodating with my schedule and she asked lots of questions to make sure she knew all Zeke's needs and preferences.
Zoë stayed the day with Vivian a few days ago while I was working in the area. She seemed to really enjoy herself hanging out with Vivian and I am very grateful to her for being so kind to my pup. I hope to be able to repeat this when I have to go work in that area agin. Thanks Vivian !!!
Bernie, came home the same as I left him, a happy pup. Vivian is a great caregiver and I will be using her service in the future.
