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~

Vivian is an absolute gem - book her and you won't go wrong! We can't say enough good things about Vivian. She stayed at our house for over three weeks while we were away at our daughter's wedding, and she took care of everything like it was her own home. Organized, responsible, and clearly cares deeply about animals - she is a genuine dog whisperer. Our dog Duke absolutely loved her. He's usually a bit particular about new people, but Vivian won him over almost instantly and kept him happy, comfortable, and on routine the entire time we were gone. The level of care and communication throughout the three weeks gave us total peace of mind during our big family event. And as if that weren't enough, she baked us cookies for when we got home - an incredibly thoughtful touch that really says everything about who she is! Top notch, first rate, A+++. We'll be sure to book Vivian for our trips going forward and we recommend her without reservation.

Vivian is wonderful!!!! She took amazing care of my dogs and took them on adventures every day and gave them lots of love. (My dogs weren't even that excited to have me back haha). She sent pictures, videos, and updates every day, which was so helpful and reassuring. She took excellent care of our dogs and our house. Our house was in a bit of a state of chaos when we left, but thanks to Vivian, I came back to a clean and organized house, complete with a bouquet of flowers, a lovely note, and homemade matcha chia pudding 🥹

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 have been a nurse for >4 years at Stanford, but recently resigned so that I have more flexibility in managing the home and in helping support my husband, who is a third year anesthesia resident at Stanford. ◡̈ Because I have more time than he does now, I have wiggle room for whatever needs pets may have throughout the day. Am happy to bring toast along for socializing, or leave him at home.
