Highlights
Pet care experience
Dedicated dog lover in UES
As a lifelong dog enthusiast – from volunteer dog walker to veterinary assistant – I understand what makes our four-legged friends feel safe and happy. Your pup will be treated and pampered like my very own in my peaceful studio. Working 5 days from home means your dog gets attention all day, and I only host 1 dog (or 2 from the same family) at a time. This ensures your dog receives all the love, care and attention they deserve. I'm just 4 blocks from Central Park which is perfect for park adventures! I'm attentive to your dog's personality and comfort level in various situations, even if they're not keen on other pups. I'll make sure you stay connected with our daily adventures through a dedicated Google Photos album, updated 5+ times daily with pictures and videos. My elevator building is also ideal for senior dogs with mobility needs.

Ratings and reviews
Vivian is the GOAT and always my go-to sitter when I need to board my anxious dachshund who hates basically everyone ... she is OUTSTANDING in every possible dimension! If she starts taking new clients again, your pup will be so lucky to get the chance to stay with her 🐾 💕 Always a 10/10 experience!
Vivian is just THE best dog sitter! So attentive, compassionate and loving towards our dog. We always feel completely relaxed leaving our dog with her!
Vivian is always so amazing with my dog! She updates me with photos and videos and treats him as if he’s her own dog I can’t recommend her enough!
As I've stated in previous reviews, Vivian is hands down the BEST sitter I've ever and we were so incredibly fortunate to be able to book with her again this past weekend! My miniature dachshund Einstein is difficult but he absolutely loves Vivian, and it's the best feeling ever being able to truly relax while away knowing he's getting the best care possible. THANK YOU AGAIN Vivian, you are outstanding!!!!
As always, I can’t possibly say enough positive things about Vivian! You will not find a better dog sitter than her. She loves our dog as much as we do, we couldn’t ask for anything more than that.
I truly believe Vivian is the best sitter on Rover anywhere! You are so lucky if you're able to book with her. I have a very anxious miniature dachshund, Einstein, and he warmed up to Vivian like no one else. I trust her with him 110%. Vivian is also an amazing photographer and shares so many truly gorgeous photos and videos (via a Google album no less, so the updates are also perfectly unobtrusive)! Plus she's the kindest and most professional sitter I've ever interacted with...and I've met many great ones! Like I said, the very best Rover (or any pet sitting service) has to offer!

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a studio apartment in Upper East Side, only 4 blocks away from Central Park. My apartment is dog-friendly. I walk my dogs anywhere from 3 times to 5 times a day, depending on the needs of your dog. I currently do not own any dogs of my own but would love to adopt one in the near future.
A typical day
I have plenty of time between my work meetings so I usually like to play fetch with them and take them to the park and around my neighborhood. My favorite thing to do is take them to the fenced, dog park areas of Central Park where they can run around freely. I will be mindful that there will be no other dogs if they do not get along with them. It gives me a lot of joy to see them running around freely in the park.

- Let me know if there are any needs and preferences that I should account for. I live in a quiet apartment so if your dog gets easily triggered by noises, objects, and anything else, it would be helpful for me to understand how to best calm them down when this happens and do my best to avoid those triggers entirely.
