Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine since I work from home 3–4 days a week. This flexible schedule allows me to be available for pets throughout the day, whether it's providing company and care at home or doing check-ins and walks in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I enjoy building pet care into my day, it keeps me active and brings a lot of joy and purpose to my routine.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I always prioritize safety, comfort, and personalized attention. In my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space, toys, and cozy resting areas. I stick closely to each pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, and playtime, to help them feel secure and at ease. I also have a sweet small dog named Harley, a rescue pup from Mexico, who absolutely loves all dogs and people. He’s gentle, playful, and always happy to make new His his presence often helps visiting pets feel more relaxed and welcome. When caring for pets in a client’s home - whether it’s dog walking, check-ins, or visits, I follow all instructions carefully, give pets the love and attention they need, and keep the space tidy and respected. I also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether it’s daycare, boarding, or a quick visit, I treat every pet like they’re part of the family.

Information Vivian G. would like to know about your pet

It’s really important for me to know as much as possible about your dog ahead of time so I can provide the best and safest care. Key things I like to know include: - Their daily routine (feeding schedule, potty times, nap habits) - If your pet isn’t completely house trained - Any mobility issues or disabilities - Any medical needs or medications - Allergies or dietary restrictions - How they behave around other dogs, people, or kids - Triggers or fears (e.g. loud noises, certain environments) - Their comfort level with crates, leashes, or being left alone briefly - Favorite toys, games, or calming techniques The more I know, the better I can make your dog feel at home and cared for like one of my own!

A typical day

I love keeping pets happy, engaged, and active during our time together! Depending on the pet’s energy level and preferences, I’ll take them on fun walks around the neighborhood, play fetch or tug-of-war, or enjoy some relaxing time with belly rubs and cuddles. For dogs who enjoy more stimulation, we’ll do enrichment activities like treat puzzles, training games, or outside playtime in my complex dog park. If they love socializing, they can also spend time with my friendly pup Harley, who’s always ready for a playmate. I make sure every pet gets the perfect mix of exercise, affection, and fun tailored to their personality.

5 ⭐️ Care Every Time

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Vivian. What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience with animals of all kinds. I grew up an animal lover surrounded by dogs and large farm animals teaching me proper pet responsibility, patience, and deep compassion. I have hands on experience vaccinating large farm animals, administering medications, and providing attentive care to puppies, kittens, and senior pets. I am confident handling animals of all sizes and temperaments, and I always adapt my care to meet each pet’s individual needs. Whether this is crate training a new puppy, supporting an older pet with mobility issues, or simply giving extra cuddles and playtime, I treat every pet like family and my own! Your pet’s health, happiness, and safety are always my top priorities! <3

Vivian was SO sweet and easy to work with. She was so accommodating to my pups needs and went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable. Her love for dogs definitely shined through in the way she cared for my dogs. I am so grateful to her and highly recommend! :)

Vivian is an absolute gem! She took incredible care of my dog, Tank, and treated him like one of her own. From the moment we connected, she was extremely communicative—always keeping me updated with messages, photos, and little anecdotes that showed just how much she genuinely cared.
