Information Vivien F. would like to know about your pet

We can only host dogs that are fully house trained and don’t have separation anxiety, so being crate trained is a huge plus! Please let me know if your dog is: -shy/skittish around strangers or other dogs (we can accommodate!) -territorial, particularly around food or toys (I always feed dogs in separate rooms, just in case) -dietary restrictions -medications or any other specific care needs

A typical day

When we are not running around the backyard or taking neighborhood walks, we love to hike the Greenbelt trails in the evenings, or on weekends, if weather permits.

Pet care experience

Hi Y'all! My partner and I live with our sweet and silly Labrador mutt, Lazlo, in South Austin. I work part time while attending school online, so I spend most of my days at home, with lots of spare time for sitting. We have a fully fenced in yard, located in a very walkable neighborhood. We love slow sniffy walks in this household, and can offer plenty of fetch sessions in the backyard. I have been a Rover sitter for 11 years now, and also grew up with lots of dogs. I am familiar with all kinds of breeds and personalities, and I'm always looking for a good playmate for Lazlo. He loves meeting new friends! In the past, I’ve had experience with house breaking puppies, as well as caring for elderly blind dogs. I’ve even worked with a very special deaf puppy! We often host repeat clients, and only host up to 2 dogs at a time, if both dogs are well socialized. If you prefer your dog be the only one (besides Lazlo) during their stay, we are happy to accommodate. Please let me know if you have any questions, concerns, or special requests - I look forward to meeting your sweet pup!

Vivien did an excellent job watching my two dogs, one of which is very energetic and the other on the timid side. They quickly seemed right at home with her and I had no doubt leaving them with her for a long weekend. Would highly recommend her to anyone searching for a dog sitter.

Vivien cared for our two elderly dogs for the weekend and managed to beautifully wrangle them along with her own energetic dog. We will definitely book her again!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
