Availability
Currently on a 3 month LOA from my nursing job, but am planning on taking a break afterwards due to burnout. Because of that I’m flexible and able to adjust to whatever needs pets may have! Currently I wake up, walk Toast (my corgi), hangout with him for a bit and then run errands if there are any. I can then pop in for a drop in/walk elsewhere (and bring toast too possibly)! He’s an integral part of my life so he’s always involved if he can be! My husband is an anesthesia MD resident at Stanford so he’s often at the hospital with long hours — all that to say he’s not very high maintenance as well so I have more wiggle room with my schedule :)

I love dogs, and will always treat yours like I treat mine :) Will leave Toast at home if your dog is not up for socializing, but can also bring Toast if your dog needs some doggie time.

Pet care experience
I have my own 7 year old corgi whom I love to take on social outings, and have always wanted to own a ranch to foster dogs and other animals. for now, this will do🤓 I enjoy popping in to see my friends’ dogs while they’re at work to take them out for potty breaks & play, and watching my friends’ dogs when they go on trips~
Reviews
Vivian is very responsive and took good care of out cats when we are away. She also took a lot of good pictures for our cats in the notes. I will strongly recommend Vivian to all nearby pet owners :)
Vivian was absolutely wonderful with our pups! One of our dogs has anxiety, and Vivian was so patient, kind, and sweet with him. She sent thorough updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs immediately felt comfortable with her, and she did an amazing job taking them on walks, playing with them, and giving them lots of snuggles. She also left our house even cleaner and more organized than when we left. We would highly recommend Vivian and would be so happy to have her watch our dogs again!
Vivian is incredibly responsible, trustworthy, and genuinely love animals. I’ve seen firsthand how naturally she connect with pets, whether it’s an energetic dog who thinks every walk is an Olympic event or a cat who acts like paying rent is optional. Animals seem to gravitate toward her, and the feeling is definitely mutual. She is attentive to each pet’s unique needs, patient, reliable, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved. You can count on her to provide excellent care, plenty of attention, and probably a few extra belly rubs along the way. I would trust her with any pet without hesitation. Any animal in her care will be treated like family—and may not even notice their owner is gone.
I first met Vivian through her corgi, and I was immediately struck by how exceptionally well behaved and well trained he was. As I got to know her, it became clear that his temperament reflects the remarkable care, consistency, and attention she devotes to him. Vivian possesses a natural affinity for animals and approaches their care with both compassion and responsibility. Her corgi is clearly cherished and thrives under her care. He is confident, friendly, and exceptionally well mannered with both people and other dogs, qualities that speak to the environment Vivian has cultivated for him. She is deeply committed to his well being and regularly dedicates her time to ensuring he receives ample exercise, enrichment, and companionship. I would trust Vivian without hesitation to care for any pet and enthusiastically recommend her to anyone seeking a thoughtful, dependable, and genuinely compassionate caregiver.
