Vivian is very good with cats, she has one of her own and he is such a sweet lil man named Junior. Vivian has some skills in giving pets their medications and is all-around just a good soul with pets, mainly cats and dogs. She's also a big fan of snakes but doesn't know how to care for them just yet but give her instructions and a chance and I'm sure she'll get the hang of it!

Vivian has a lot of knowledge in caregiving for pets along with caring for the wellbeing of your animals and will make sure they're safe.

Vivian is a fantastic sitter! Great at keeping contact, always comes by on time, and my pets love them. Even my old grouchy cat who hates everyone tolerates them near her (high praise). They always keep the food and water bowls full and the litter box scooped, and I fully trust them to care for my fur-babies any time!

Vivian has taken care of her own pet for years. I've heard and seen her take care immensely for him and I believe she will for others

Mercy was a wonderful person, and took great care of my buddies Willow (dog) and Winslow (cat). Before sitting for them, they ensured that they would get along with my pets, sitting with both of them and keeping them calm. Willow's always a bit of an energetic dog, so it's reassuring to see someone handle her so well. Winslow's a bit of a shy kitty too, but they were very patient with him, which already let me know they were the right pick for the job. I would gladly ask them to sit for my precious pets again.

Safety, trust & environment

Pets

A typical day

Every pet's day looks different, and I adapt to their energy level and health needs. For active dogs, I offer morning and afternoon walks plus playtime at nearby parks. For senior or lower-energy pets, the day centers on gentle strolls, comfortable rest, medication schedules, and quiet companionship. I keep a consistent routine and send photo updates so you always know your pet is comfortable and safe.
