Pet care experience

Cat Specialist | Gentle Dog Care

Hi! My name is Vivienne and I’m a pet-sitter and cat behavior consultant. I provide calm, attentive, and reliable care for pets, with a special focus on cats. With over 20 years of experience, I understand how important it is to respect each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level. I am especially attentive to shy, independent, or sensitive cats, and cats that are normally difficult with new people. I also care for dogs with the same level of observation and consistency. During each visit, I take the time to observe behavior, not just complete a task. You’ll receive thoughtful updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing, not just that the visit was completed. I also have a background in positive dog training through the Victoria Stilwell Positively Dog Training Academy. This allows me to: - handle dogs calmly and confidently - reinforce good habits during visits - recognize stress signals and adjust accordingly What Makes My Care Different - Calm and patient approach - Attention to behavior and subtle changes - Consistent routines to reduce stress - Experience with shy, or sensitive pets - Clear and reliable communication I work best with clients who value reliability, communication, and a calm approach to pet care.

Vivienne was absolutely wonderful with my four cats. She definitely understands how to interact with them. Mine are not used to being alone and they were all calm and exceptionally well cared for. I highly recommend her and will hire her again!

Vivienne is terrific. We are so glad to have found a shop in person that is reliable and communicates with us. Will be calling her again in the future.

Vivienne always takes excellent care of my animals and gives detailed reports on their visits which is very reassuring when I’m away from them.

Schedule

If you are a new client, please know that I don’t accept last minute bookings. In order to offer a good service it’s essential to schedule a meet and greet before any new booking with pets never met before. Reach out to me at least 3 days prior the booking date. Thank you for your understanding. I’ll have plenty of time to dedicate to your dogs and cats! I’m available from Monday to Sunday for walks and drop-in visits. At the moment, I don't offer dog boarding. However, if you are a repeat client, feel free to ask me about it.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. Any allergies or health issues I need to know about. I can also help with some basic dog training. I apply Victoria Stilwell's Positively Method, a positive reinforcement training where dogs are trained with respect and without punishment.
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.
