Compassionate dog lover and trainer

Pet care experience

Dog's are a joy to my life. I have a calm centered energy that makes dog's feel comfortable. I utilize positive techniques and tools to train them on walks+runs, while making it fun! I’ve volunteered and fostered dogs at rescues and shelters for several years, with a particular interest in severe cases. In the past, I’ve worked for a few professional pet care companies. On top of that, I’m a certified trainer and behavioralist. I grew up with German Shepherds and now a rescued female, 3 years old Pit Bull - who is well trained, gentle and calm.

Vivian was excellent and took so much time to make sure our dog was comfortable! We got regular updates and when we returned we could tell our pup was happy and had been well cared for.

Vivian is the BEST. she was very communicative from the start and was able to take my dog in last min. She made an itinerary for Monty, sent me progress photos & videos! I felt so safe and loved getting updates. Thanks so much Vivian!

Vivian was amazing! She took excellent care of our puppy which put us at ease while away. We received several videos and pictures throughout her stay that showed how happy and content our dog was. Vivian was also very accommodating to our dog's dietary needs. I would use her services again without hesitation.

Vivian is not only responsible and thorough, but extremely compassionate. Her detailed updates with pictures and videos made me feel so secure about the type of experience and level care my pup was getting. I couldn’t have gotten a better sitter!!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a very dog friendly upscale community with a dog park and the complex is fenced in. Outside of the community, there are lots of paths that are quiet to walk dogs. In the home, I have all pet care items, equipments and over the counter medications. My services are very personalized to the individual dog. I always ask to gather information about your dog's likes, needs, temperament, allergies, dietary restrictions, behavioral issues, medical needs or any history I should know about. I’m also comfortable with feeding or administering medication. On top of that, I will communicate with you regularly and provide tons of pictures and videos for you :)

Information Vivian P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any information that is important such as temperament, known commands, usual routine and if they are okay with all or certain types of dogs.

A typical day

I always like to keep it fun and stimulating for your dog, whether it be emotionally, physically and mentally. I will play fetch with them, tug of war, use flirt pole, run/jog/walk with them in different areas to explore different scents, as that is calming for them. Mentally, I have puzzle games and I like to play the "find it" game with them. If your dog is okay with playing with others, I have a nice dog park with friendly dogs, and I know what behavioral signals to watch for when things escalate for the safety of everyone. At home, I will give your dogs tons of pets, belly rubs and your dog is allowed on the couch with fluffy blankets to watch tv or snuggle with my dog :)

I’m very flexible from my professional career in acting, singing, dance and modeling and most likely can cater to last minute requests on weekday’s and weekend’s for dog running, daycare and boarding.
