Availability

Safety, trust & environment

We live in a two bedroom apartment with large windows. Perfect for pups who love to sunbathe (our dog will happily join them!). Since I work from home, I’m able to provide consistent care and take dogs out 3–5 times throughout the day. Our building also has a private dog park, and we’re in a very walkable neighborhood, so longer walks and extra exercise are always part of the routine when needed. Our dog, Lilo, is a 9 year old Chihuahua mix who is a bit shy at first and tends to keep to herself, but she warms up over time and enjoys having another dog around. She’s very sweet and would love a new friend!

Information Vivian C. would like to know about your pet

I would appreciate knowing if your pup has any special needs that I need to take into consideration or behaviors I should account for. Transparency is key in order to best accommodate our furry friends!

A typical day

I have a couple of lick pads that I like to smush snacks on to keep them stimulated, along with a kong toy that I fill up and let them follow while it rolls around the apartment. Other than that just entertaining them with tug of war, fetch, and long walks! :)

Tiny or tall, I love them all!! :)

Pet care experience

I've had our corgi/chihuahua mix and dachshund mix for 9 years! They grew up with my husband and I throughout college in Texas until we eventually moved out here to California. They have essentially grown up with us and we love how much they have been apart of our lives! :)

Vivian has been absolutely wonderful! Really made sure my girl has been well taken care of and super communicative. Will definitely be re-booking in the future and would reccomend her for sure :)

Vivian was a pleasure to work with and I felt so comfortable leaving my little guy for over 3 weeks. She sent daily photos or notes to assure me that all was well!
