Highlights
Pet care experience
Animal lover northern NJ.
Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 15 years of experience caring for pups of all kinds. I grew up with three amazing dogs and helped with everything from daily walks and feeding to playtime and training. Over the years, I’ve learned how to read each dog’s personality and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether your dog loves long walks, belly rubs, or just some good company, I’ll treat them like part of my own family.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I have a large open floor plan in my main living space, with plenty of room to run around and play. If either dog/cats prefer to be in a more secluded environment I have a completely finished basement with HVAC installed for them to feel safe and quiet. I have a backyard for them to play, but it would have to be leashed due to the space not being completely enclosed, yet. When I visit a client's home I make sure to follow all of their instructions and respect their space, as well as their pets. For dogs, I like to give them a walk. For cats, I like to give them some enrichment/play time. I am a very strict follower of directions, so whatever instructions you would leave me would be taken seriously and appropriately followed.
Ratings and reviews
Vivian is reliable and responsive.
Vivian was truly amazing. Great with the animals l, provided detailed updates and let us know when she was there and left. Definitely will go to her again!
Vivian has very good work ethic and is dedicated to whatever task she takes on. As a young child and adolescent, she had two dogs and helped care for them. She was attentive to their needs and made sure they had water, were fed at the correct times and brushed their coats. She cleaned up after them and played with them. Vivian is responsible and will be a caring and loving dog sitter.
Vivian is a kind, compassionate young woman who loves animals. I have a German Shepard mix breed (Casey) and I have had Vivian take care of her for years when I go away on vacation. She not only takes excellent care of Casey, but she cuddles with her and lays with her and goes the extra mile to make sure Casey is comfortable and happy. Casey is older now with arthritis and can't maneuver the stairs well. Vivian even makes sure she has her booties on so she won't fall. I would highly recommend Vivian!
Vivian grew up with animals all around her. As a child she had 2 dogs and a cat that she helped her mother and brother take care of. She has always been an animal lover and treats all of the animals she comes in contact with as much respect and care as she does fellow human beings. Her work ethic is also excellent. She currently works as a secretary, a job where she is left to work on her own with no supervision. I have been told on various occasions by her employer that she is an irreplaceable part of her staff.

Schedule
I work very flexible hours at a gym where my shifts are never longer than 3 hours at a time so I am able to be home/run errands for a good part of my day.
