Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable + loving 1-on-1 care 💚
My partner and I live in a two-bedroom apartment in a high-rise in a dog-friendly neighbourhood in Riverdale. We're steps from Riverdale and Withrow Parks and surrounded by quiet residential streets. I'm home most of the time (or at least one of us is) so your pup will be getting lots of love, cuddles, and individual attention as we only take one client at a time and will treat them like our own! Looking for quiet and well-trained dogs, as I work remotely through the work week with meetings and live in an apartment building. I've always loved animals, and would love to care for yours while you're tending to other things or away for a trip. I am reliable, attentive, and caring. I also love taking beautiful photos of your furbabies 📸
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
We highly recommend Vivian. We have an anxious dog who we have a hard time leaving with others for extended periods-we received many updates and our dog looked to be extremely happy and relaxed during her stay.
Vivian was super communicative throughout our dogs stay and sent lots of pics which is always very appreciated :) it’s always tough leaving your senior dog with others and I felt that our dog was enjoying his stay. Would definitely book with Vivian again in the future! Thank you for everything.
Our dog, Polly, has now spent several days with Vivian and Drew. She's always excited to see them upon arrival, and tuckered out from her adventures when we pick her up. Polly is on leash reactive toward other dogs, so we really appreciate having found a sitter who only takes one dog at a time! Our experiences have been awesome, I can't say enough good things!!!!
Vivian always provides plenty of updates while sitting and they provide wonderful care to our Fred. He is so excited to see them and stay. Always our first choice!
Vivian and Drew are great! Our dog is well cared for and has a great time with them.
Another great stay! Vivian and Drew took excellent care of our dog, gave her tons of play time and attention. 10/10!!

Schedule
We'll ask for your dog's routine before they arrive and stick to it as closely as possible to help the transition be as smooth as possible. Walks typically happen morning, midday, and evening, with some flexibility on timing. My calendar is always kept up-to-date.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Fresh water always available. Your dog is only fed the food and treats you provide. Always leashed outside — no dog parks. We have toys, but feel free to bring their favourites. Our building has an elevator and stairs (let me know if either is an issue). Any plants can be moved out of reach if it would be an issue (let me know).
A typical day
While we host your dog: for walks, there's a couple of big parks nearby, as well as quiet side streets. There are also trails nearby for longer stays. I like to vary places/routes for walks for variety and enrichment! At home, we'll hang out in the apartment on the couch, floor, balcony (supervised), or play with toys! We try to keep them mentally stimulated and enriched with toys, sniffing, anything else you can bring that they enjoy doing.
