Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Vivian and I'm sooo excited to love your sweet angel fur baby! I started unofficially pet sitting for family and friends at 15. I've taken care of many fur babies, ranging from small to large pups. I have a Great Pyrenees mix of my own named Atlas. I also raised/trained a Jack Russell from 6 months old, so I am familiar with different ranges of temperaments. My pet sitting duties are endless! My job is to ensure your pet's happiness, whatever it takes, because our angels deserve it! :) I trained both of my dogs as puppies so I have experience with teaching them the basics, such as sit, lay down, stand, "take it nice", "paw", and teaching them their name too. Similarly, I have experience with potty training, feeding appropriate portions, and administering oral medications as prescribed/recommended. Growing up, I had two cats, Baby and BJ, who have since passed. I also have experiencing caring for our easy feline friends! While I haven't had a cat in years, I've helped friends and family with caring for their cats. I am able to clean up their litter boxes, feed, and ensure their safety upon your request. Thank you in advance for considering me for your pet sitting needs! :)
Reviews
We would not have had a vacation this year if it wasn't for Vivian. Our dog has an extreme case of separation anxiety but when Vivian had her introductory visit we knew it was going to work out. She and Stache bonded immediately. She took care of her in a professional and personal manner while we were gone, sending updates several times a day and she accommodated our last minute schedule changes no problem. We are already planning our next vacation and will only schedule it around Vivian and her availability. We and Stache thank you!!!
Vivian is absolutely phenomenal! I'm nothing short of neurotic when it comes to my pets and I avoid vacations for that reason. I have a very difficult time trusting people (even friends and family I've known forever) to take care of my babies. That said, Vivian did an amazing job with them! She hung out with them the majority of the day, texted me quickly when she had questions, cleaned up the house before she left, followed through with all of the potty and feeding times and other routines we had discussed and she SENT A MILLION PICTURES!!! I absolutely loved that because I've had several experiences where I'll get one photo of each dog per day, and that's it. But I want to see how they're doing all day. The more photos, the BETTER! I can honestly say that she probably sent me 20-40 pictures a day or close to it as well as several videos. This might be annoying to some people (and if you just ask her not to, I'm absolutely certain she would tone it down) but I LOVED getting to see my babies all day and go through their day with them. I knew what they were up to and when she'd step out and come back, etc all day which gave me so much peace of mind. Not to mention she was extremely flexible when an unforseen situation changed our plans and ended up with us needing her to stay an extra night with practically zero notice. Not only did I adore Vivian, but my dogs are obsessed with her! I'm actually a little jealous as she really bonded with my baby boy who is usually kind of a hermit. All of my babies are in love with her and I will absolutely hire her for the future as well. Vivian is definitely someone you can (and should!) trust with your pets. I'll also mention that while she was mostly there to care for our three large breed dogs, she also took care of our parakeets and bunny. She did a great job with them as well so I highly recommend her for all of your pet care needs!
Vivian did a fantastic job taking care of our 2 dogs in our home. She sent tons of updates and photos and even did some cleaning before she left. Fantastic service!
Vivian was fantastic, she took great care of my cat Peanut! She gave him his medication each day, spent time with him and was great to work with. Ill definitely book with her again!

Safety, trust & environment
In your home, I will ensure your pet's safety in various ways. depending on the setting, I will always make sure to lock doors, attach leashes, close crate doors safely/correctly, close gates, and tidy their environment. If there are monitors/cameras in the home used to keep an eye on your pet, I will also ensure the cameras are plugged in and facing your pet!
Information Vivian R. would like to know about your pet
I would like to be aware if your pup is a nipper or a jumper. DON'T WORRY! Neither of these bother me!! I would just like to be aware in advance so I can prepare. :)
A typical day
Walks can be provided in your neighborhood, or a nearby neighborhood. If there is no neighborhood nearby to walk, I will locate the closest park to your home, and take your pup for a walk there. I am very opposed to walking a dog on a road with no sidewalks, as I don't even like to do this with my boy, so I will always ensure a safe place to walk. During the walk, your pup will always be on the "inside", meaning I will be on the side closest to traffic.
