Pet care experience

Passionate and Holistic Caretaker

Hi, My name is Vivian, I am an experienced and loving caretaker for cats, dogs and other living things. If you’re looking for an attentive, experienced and fun loving caretaker, you’ve come to the right place. I have nearly a decade of experience working in the pet care field. This includes extensive experience with disabled cats and dogs, especially with diabetes. I’ve done 100+ walks with WAGS and hold a five star average. I've also worked at a cage free daycare in Lincoln Park called Dogs Day Inn, Kennel attendant at Woburn Animal Hospital and volunteer at David R. Lee animal shelter. My philosophy about pet care is that animals are part of the family, and their needs and desires should never be overlooked. Weather it’s long walks or blanket forts, I will go above and beyond to make sure your fur baby is safe and well entertained. I love meeting new dogs and getting to know their personalities. Seeing your pet healthy and happy is what I look forward to the most. If you book with me you can also look forward to top tier customer service. I like open communication with clients and love geeking out about your pet as much as you do. You can expect regular updates and top quality care. I look forward to meeting your best friend!

Vivian was amazing! We needed a pet sitter last minute, and she came through for us. Communication was excellent from the start, and she kept us updated with messages and lots of cute photos, which really put our minds at ease. Our dog got plenty of long walks, and you could tell he really enjoyed his stay. We’re so grateful for the care she provided and would absolutely book with her again! :)
