I cannot express how relieved I am to have found such a wonderful Dog Sitter. My dog can be a little nervous at times, and she was perfectly comfortable for a long stay with Vivian. Vivian sent pictures each day, and I could see how comfortable Blanca was in her care. 100% recommend Vivian, and will be sure to bring Blanca back regularly, as they have formed a great bond. Thank you Vivian, I know Blanca looks forward to seeing you again.

Vivian watched our small, senior dog and was wonderful. She communicates well and sent pictures daily. We will gladly book Vivian again.

Vivian was wonderful with Blanca for our one day drop in, in preparation for a long trip I have coming up. She sent pictures, and was very responsive when I checked in. I can tell that Vivian very much loves what she does, and takes care of Blanca like she would care for her own dog.

Doggy Day Care • Jan 12, 2026

Vivian did a wonderful job taking care of our chihuahua Mika during daycare. She updated us regularly and sent several pictures. Mika was a happy and tired girl when I picked her up.

Vivian did a great job looking after our little fur baby Abby. She sent pictures and a couple of videos while we were away. It is such a comfort to know that you're dog is in good hands.

Schedule

I’ve raised 3 cats over 18 years, but they have all passed on. I’ve also provided dog care to family and friends over the past 10 years. I have integrated animal care into my standard routine on an as need basis, sometimes more heavily than other times, but it all works out in the end.

Safety, trust & environment

I give them plenty of room to play and exercise and feed them 1-2 times a day. With dog’s I walk them every 2-4 hours and provide them with a fenced back yard with proper supervision. I would never leave them alone in the back yard unattended.

A typical day

I frequently take them for walks, play and exercise with rest periods in between. I provide a consistent schedule and I am dedicated to making your pet feel like they are at home.

Please communicate with me any concerns with special needs or pets requiring care regarding medication and/or special diet during their stay. Happy to provide specialize care with proper instruction. Update. From now on, except for siblings, I will be caring for one dog at a time to give them the quality care and love they deserve. I do not make this guarantee during holidays such as Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years as sometimes pets overlap, but will do my very best to care for pets one at a time. If they do overlap, I will care for a maximum of 2 pets at a time while walking and feeding them separately. With siblings, I will allow up to 2 siblings per visit.
