I’ll treat your pet like my own

Pet care experience

A little about me, I’ve had pets my entire life. Living in California we have had horses, sheep, goat, pigs, birds, rabbits, reptiles and tons of dogs and cats. So I am experienced with taking care of animals. I currently have two dogs, Riley he’s a Golden Retriever and Christmas a German Shepard. They are both friendly and house trained. Riley is neutered Christmas is not as he is still a puppy! And up to date on all shots. Riley is a high energy golden retriever. Christmas is high energy puppy! We are also LGBTQ+ Friendly and military friendly. If you need extended/long term stay I’m your girl! I work full time and have weekends off. My wife is home during the week she works nights on a varied schedule but she’s home during the day and takes the dogs on walks on our days off so we tag team. We have a school age child so Due to our schedules, during the week, morning drop offs are ideal. 7:00 or sooner or evening drop offs. pick up depending on the day evenings after 5:30pm Weekend pick up and drop offs are different and more flexible. Again, depending on the day /time I can be flexible. I would like ongoing services or even short term. Whatever you need I’m your girl! If you book with me twice, I lock rates my rates for you. I am now offering a first time booking discount on 3 days or more! I also love 5 star review, they help me out a lot, so please at the end of every stay if you feel satisfied, please leave me a review! I have decent sized fenced yard. Where my dog and your dog can run and play. We do go on walks every evening (weather permitting) and during the day or we hop in the car and go to the park to walk around. Sometimes we go on hikes. Or sometimes just go for a car ride. This also depends on your dogs behavior and how well they do on leashes and in public. If I feel comfortable taking your dog out in public. If they are reactive or try to get out of collar on walks i will not take them out! ***disclaimer**** I do on occasion have more than one booking, I take all breeds so Your dog will not always be exclusively the only other rover dog in my house. If you want your dog to be an exclusive rover dog we can discuss additional flat rate fees for that it will depend on length of stay. However, safety is key and I do introduce the dogs one at a time to ensure they get along. While I have experience and understand that dogs act differently in unfamiliar environments. Any pet that causes damage to my house or has accidents on my carpet (more than the typical anxiety accident), chew up things, break through screen door, window) the owner of the pet will be charged accordingly to shampoo or replace such item.

Vivian was great! I appreciated that she was able to handle my very energetic puppy. I had both of my dogs boarded at Vivian and she was great and texted so many pictures and updates!

Vivian is amazing! She stepped in to take our dog last-minute when other plans fell through, and was just the best. We got updates at least daily, including pictures, and our dog was definitely well taken care of. Highly recommended.

Information Vivian R. would like to know about your pet

I love dogs! I don’t have a preference of breed or size however, I do have a 9 year old so I would hope your dog is good with kids. I would like to know if your dog is allergic to anything, anxiety away from home? Behavior? Are they allowed people food? Do they get along with other dogs if we were to go to the dog park/hikes/park or if I have other bookings at the same times If your dog severely damages anything in my house pees on the carpet more than once, breaks a door, etc you will be notified immediately and a charge will be added to your stay.

A typical day

We play fetch a lot. In weekends, We go on walks/hikes weather permitting. bear creek nature center, Helen hunt falls. And local parks or around the block. And lots of cuddles. I’ll give your dog a 30 minute brush as it is my way of bonding with your fur baby.
