Availability

Hello 😊, its summer ☀️ pet parents! My availability has increased and will include drop-ins and dog-walking for new and repeat customers. Boarding and daycare, repeat customers only. Please feel free to message me with any questions, accommodation requests or concerns. Fall/Winter/Spring Schedule 🍁❄️🌸 So for those who know me, as you can see my availability has reduced from 7 days to 3 days a week. I recently became a nursing student, and my commute on the days I have in-person classes takes up most of the day. I miss and love my furbabies 🥹. So I have made my weekends available to love and care for your loved "paw" ones. I have availability every Friday, Saturday and Sunday for walks and drop-ins anytime and for boarding as needed. A two-day notice is preferred but one-day notices are accepted.

Safety, trust & environment

Boarding/Daycare🐕 I have a large fenced backyard. With plenty of room to run around safely without the worry of traffic or having your dog leashed. If your fur baby is an inside dog, my home is pet friendly on the inside as well. I also have a friendly five-year-old terrier mix who will love to keep your pet company. Dogs have constant access to fresh water. Please provide resources and details if you have a preferred dog food and feeding schedule. I will uphold your preferences. Drop-In Visits🐕‍🦺🦴📬 Drop-in visits typically include a short walk or letting your pet out in the yard for a potty break. I will clean up any messes your pet may have made at home, including picking up poop in the yard or inside the home. Visits also include feeding, refreshing water, administering medications as directed, playtime, interaction, and plenty of praise, head rubs, and belly rubs. Upon request, I am also happy to water indoor and outdoor plants, bring in mail or packages, and help with other basic household tasks while you're away. If you have any specific requests, I am happy to discuss accommodations to meet your pet's and home's needs. Longer walks can be arranged upon request for pets that require additional exercise, enrichment, or outdoor time. Dog Walking🦮🐕‍🦺 Dog walks include a stimulating walk tailored to your pet's needs and energy level. I record potty breaks, including pee and poop, as well as the distance and route taken. Fresh drinking water and food can also be provided after the walk, if needed. Longer walks can be arranged upon request for pets that require additional exercise, enrichment, or outdoor time. If there are any special instructions or requests regarding your pet's care, I am happy to discuss them.

A typical day

I love the outdoors. So a typical day would include walks of course, an afternoon at the dog park and then leisure/play time at home in the house or my large fenced backyard. It's their choice. They have access to dog toys inside the house or the backyard. There's also soft doggie blankets and beds for nap time.

Endless Energy to Lap Lovers

Pet care experience

I've taken care of dogs ranging from the elderly to puppies, which normally comes with learning how to accommodate different personalities as well as attending to each dog's personal needs. I've had to come up with creative ways of getting the most clever dogs to take their medications, including my 16-year-old Yorkie named Sasha. Sasha passed away at the ripe age of 19 years old. I needed company for her brother, my other dog Leo. That's how I got into taking in my neighbor's and friend's dogs for play dates and sleepovers—the morning after includes walks, dog park excursions, and everything in between. Every dog under my care becomes a family member.

Vivian did a nice job caring for our two small dogs! It was nice to know they were in good hands and being spoiled. She communicated well which was especially important because one of our dogs required medication and extra care. Thanks again Vivian!

Vivian is the best. She is the only sitter my puppy has had. This time Vivian kept Milo for a week while I went on a business trip. She sent pictures with updates. He seemed very happy and socialized with the other pups, which he needed. Thank you so much for watching over Milo. We will see you soon.

Otto loves Ms. Vivian and her family. It was a no brainer to have him go back and trick or treat with her nieces and nephews.

Vivian took great care of Kuma while I was away. She sent tons of pictures showing his activities and feeding times, and did a great job administering meds to a dog who can sniff out meds from a mile away haha. Thank you so much!
