Safety, trust & environment

I reside in an apartment with my cat who is dog and cat friendly. if a small space such as an apartment isn’t the best for your fur baby, i am happy to babysit in your own home or (for dogs) take them for many walks, field trips, and parks. i am very flexible when it comes to this so it is truly up to you and your comfortability.

Information Vivien T. would like to know about your pet

for pet and personal safety i keep all dogs on leash outdoors. only exception is when we are in an enclosed space. i understand this isn’t ideal for all and trust me i love off leash roaming too! however i want to be able to ensure all parties are safe and this is the best way to ensure this! as for myself, i am fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and continue to remain cautious with its ongoing variants. as of now i do not walk or housesit for households that are unvaccinated. additionally i do have my own car for reliable transportation and i am able to drive to and from any residence for pet care. excited to meet you and your pet thank you for this opportunity!

A typical day

my schedule at the moment is very flexible! i am available for any routine you may need me to tag along to whether work or life schedules come up. i am currently on my summer break for my MSW at San Jose State and I would love to spend my time with your pet.

Pet care experience

I’ve been pet sitting for 12+ years. my neighbors, friends, and family have all entrusted me as their official dog and cat sitter because I love them like my own! i’ve been training dogs (unofficially) for a very long time now. i’ve done well as a guiding leader for dogs, with positive reinforcement as i feel it works best. I have experience with more serious problem behaviors but I would want to discuss beforehand what your pet may need from me and if that is something i can effectively offer. the one thing i want to guarantee is that your baby is not only loved and cared for, but also that they are safe and secure in my care and ability!

It is with great admiration and confidence that I recommend Vivien as an exceptional pet caretaker. Vivien’s lifelong passion for animals is nothing short of inspiring—she has been “animal crazy” for as long as I’ve known her, and her dedication to their well-being runs deep. Vivien has spent years fostering animals for local shelters, offering not just a temporary home but a sanctuary filled with compassion, patience, and expert care. Her experience spans a wide range of species, including cats, dogs, and horses, and she is remarkably well-trained in handling each with skill and sensitivity. What sets Vivien apart is her ability to nurture even the most vulnerable animals. She has lovingly nursed sick pets back to health, assisted during births, and is fully capable of administering medications with precision and care. Her knowledge of animal care is comprehensive—bathing, feeding, walking, grooming, and beyond—and she approaches each task with both professionalism and genuine affection. Animals in Vivien’s care are not just looked after—they are cherished. She spoils them with attention, love, and the kind of intuitive understanding that only comes from years of experience and a heart truly attuned to their needs. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, Vivien is that person. She is trustworthy, deeply knowledgeable, and above all, devoted to the happiness and health of every animal she meets.
