Safety, trust & environment

Safety & Trust: I treat my pets as family, and I will treat your fur babies just the same. Their needs are always put ahead of my own, and I structure my daily routine, my life in fact, around them and what they need. I also know how important routines can be for your pet, so please share the details, no matter how small ! Additionally, I take a special approach to pets based on their personalities. Whether they are naturally timid, anxious, dominant, defiant, hyper, or low energy, I approach each pets personality in a different way. They are highly unique, just as we are.

Nurse and dog mom! 🩻🩺🩹💉🐶🐶🐶

Pet care experience

***PET CPR CERTIFIED*** Quality and timely care. Animal Advocacy. Safety. Experience/Background: I give your pets a voice, just like I do for my patients! I am a full time nurse and a full time dog mom. I participate in several ways to contribute to animal advocacy. I donate to several animal rescue organizations, sign many petitions for animal rights and welfare and am a volunteer for a local animal rescue. My entire career has been in human health care, and while that still is the case, I want to spend more time with animals and help care for them too. I have owned cats or dogs since the age of 10, and now currently have three amazing rescues -- two Staffies and a Great Dane!

Vivian R. was amazing! She replied to my request very quickly, and on the same day she made time for a meet and greet. She asked important questions about my cat and made me feel comfortable leaving him in her care. While I was away, she fed and played with my cat and kept me updated. She even noticed that my apartment was warm during the visit and asked if she could turn on the AC, which I really appreciated because it showed how caring and attentive she is. I highly recommend Vivian, and I would definitely work with her again!

She does a great job making sure our elderly cat gets his insulin shot before meals and gets some play time. She is our first choice when we travel.
