Pet care experience

Your furry's bestfriend!

I've owned big dogs since the early age of 5 when I was gifted my very first German Shepherd puppy! I've grown up with big dogs in my house and a variety of animals through my friends and family. I currently live in a miniature zoo with a 5 year old German Shepherd named Perseus, 3 loving cats, and a turtle! I have been animal sitting for years and watching over various breeds of dogs and cats! I would love to drop-in and take your furry on a walk/feed them when you're running late at work, or animal-sit when you're away on vacation! I know how hard it is to find someone you can trust with your babies but, I will gladly be there for you when needed! I have a soft spot for animals and understand the guilt when leaving them behind, I will do everything in my power to make sure they are cared for and feel as comfortable as they can while you are away!

I want to make sure your dog is as comfortable when you’re on vacation or out of town as they are when you are regularly at home! If they like to sunbathe or play fetch for a couple hours I will gladly accommodate to their needs to make sure they feel like it is just another regular day while you are gone!

Vixana did such a great job caring for my senior boy. It was so nice knowing he was in such good hands while we were out of town

Vixana did a great job taking care of my 5-month-old puppy and senior cat. She's super sweet, and I really appreciated her communication and regular photo updates while I was away. Our home was also very clean and well taken care of when. I would definitely recommend, and will be booking again in the future.

Vixana took such good care of my pets while I was overseas. She was responsive and kept in contact with me with regular updates and pictures. Both Poppy and Salem loved her and I didn’t feel bad leaving them I would recommend her in a heartbeat. Thank you.

Vixana is super professional and a very detail-oriented dog sitter! She stayed at our house for a week while we were out of the country and took such great care of our dog Lucy. Prior to our vacation she came over to go over all of Lucy’s needs and familiarize herself with our home and dog before we left. She is a great communicator and kept us updated daily with texts, pictures, and FaceTime calls! She administered all of Lucy’s medications daily and made sure she got her morning toast, afternoon meal, plenty of walks, and night-time snuggles! She was even nice enough to print out some pictures of Lucy during her stay and gifted us with a lovely collage and a handwritten note of how Lucy’s time was while we were away. Overall it was a great experience with Vixana as our dog sitter and Lucy definitely enjoyed being with her. I cannot recommend her enough and we will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!

Vixana was an amazing cat and bunny sitter while I was out of town on vacation. I originally contacted her requesting a cat sitter and let her know that I also had a bunny. Although she had never dealt with caring for a bunny she was nice enough to accept my request and she was phenomenal! She met with me a week prior to my vacation and I walked her through the care steps for both of my babies Leo and PJ. She kept me updated throughout my entire vacation with daily texts and pictures and she was not shy about asking questions over my bunny Leo as it was her first time! I really appreciated her transparency and how detail oriented she was! My shy cat PJ ended up loving her and opened up to her very quickly during her drop ins. She did an amazing job and I felt super reassured while I was away that my pets were well taken care of!

Vixana has cat sat my 3 babies numerous times, always keeping me updated and lavishing them with attention and love throughout the day. Very professional and communicative with updates or questions.
