As I am currently not working I can dedicate my time and full attention to animals staying with us. I know leaving your pet with strangers can be nerve wracking so I also send regular updates & pictures of what we are up to and how the day went. I also do Whatsapp chats once we exchanged phone numbers so you can reach me any time. I do strictly one owner at a time for Boarding and Day Care so once you’re booked in and confirmed you can be a 100% sure that your dog / cat doesn’t have to share the space with any other unknown animal. I will always follow your instructions for the day (feeding, walks, exercise, play time, training) and I am aware that each breed has different requirements and specifics.

Safety, trust & environment
All animals are treated like family, they are where we are (my husband and I) when looking after them. If they need space I provide them with a quiet area in the house or if they fancy being with me / us they are happy to join us on the couch, in the kitchen while cooking or upstairs. All dogs and cats are free to go in the garden and they are supervised at all times, despite having 2 secure gates and secure fencing all around us (1.6m-3m high). All cats are kept indoors for the night and the majority of the day unless their owner says it otherwise. We do not have a cat flap so they cannot sneak out accidentally. We also have 2 vet practices nearby should I ever need it.

Information Vivien B. would like to know about your pet
I always appreciate knowing about any special needs, routines, medical requirements, or behaviours ahead of time so I can provide the best care possible. This includes feeding schedules, exercise preferences, training cues, fears, triggers, or how they interact with other animals and people. The more I know, the better I can help your pet feel comfortable, safe, and understood while you’re away. Please feel free to bring frozen or cooked food if that’s their diet. I am also happy to discuss cooking for them if that’s what they are used to.
A typical day
A typical day is tailored to each pet’s needs and energy level. I focus on both physical and mental stimulation through walks and playtime and also allow room for time out to avoid over stimulation. I make sure pets stay engaged, happy, and relaxed throughout the day and stick with their routine to help them settle in faster.

Sitter who treats pets like family
Pet care experience
I grew up surrounded by animals, including rabbits, ferrets, fish, and dogs of all sizes from large breeds like Cane Corso & Dobermann to small breeds that I love just as much. I’m confident and calm around dogs and never force interaction. I always follow the owner’s instructions and allow each dog the time and space they need to gain my trust. I don’t try to replace you or assume I know your dog better than you do. Instead, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed, especially if they’re unsure why their owner isn’t around. I’m patient, observant, and respectful of each dog’s individual personality and routine. I’m also happy to care for other animals if needed feel free to message me to discuss. The only exceptions are spiders and snakes, which I’m genuinely terrified of, so I unfortunately can’t help with those.

Reviews
Hi Vivien, Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Milo. Vivien is a fantastic pet carer! She took excellent care of our dog and kept us updated throughout our time away with photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear that Milo was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. We highly recommend Vivien to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, and we'll definitely use her services again. Thank you again!
I recommend Vivien highly. Perfectly nurturing. Romeo would happily run into to her house. Met all of his needs and gave regular updates. I could get on with my day knowing Romeo was well looked after. Overall great!
Vivien is fantastic with Romeo. Goes above and beyond for him and he loves spending time with her - he is so excited to see her every time. I would highly recommend.
Vivien was honestly the loveliest sitter. She went above and beyond caring for Olive and was so thoughtful, kind and communicative throughout — she really made the whole experience feel effortless and reassuring. Olive was so happy and settled with her, and it gave us complete peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. We would absolutely book with Vivien again and couldn’t recommend her more highly. Thank you again for being so wonderful Vivien!
