Pet care experience
Hello, I'm Vyvyanne! I am a new mom splitting my time between Portland, Oregon and the Big Island of Hawai’i. I graduated with a major in Wildlife Conservation Biology from UC, Davis. As an animal lover and former owner, I fully intend to devote my time and energy into making sure your animal(s) is/are well cared for and loved! I started taking care of my own animals as a child and later I regularly pet sat for individuals and families in the Santa Cruz, California area. I also volunteered for the Santa Cruz SPCA, providing walks and care for the dogs there. I am extremely patient, willing to learn, and I'm not a stranger to animals with particular preferences and/or learning curves. Hours are flexible, however it is my intention to bring my son along as I am a full-time mama! I would love to exercise with your dog at the park and/or play at home. Grooming for animals offered too!
Reviews
I have known Vyvyanne for many years and she has always had a love for animals. Whether it’s dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, wild and/or domestic animals she loves them all the same. Vyvyanne is a responsible,intelligent, and hard working young woman that is trustworthy, sincere, and compassionate. I highly recommend Vyvyanne as a pet sitter knowing that your pet will be nurtured and loved in her care!!
As a recent college graduate, she is not only smart, dependable, on time and responsible, but personally heartwarming, enjoyable, kind and she loves animals. She has ridden horses since she was very young and learned how to groom and care for them. Animals take to her right away because of her very caring and fun loving nature. .
I highly recommend Vyvyanne to care for your pet. She is the loving dog sitter you are searching for. Vyvyanne is responsible, kind, and I don’t know anyone more passionate about animals. You and your dog will love her!
Vyvyanne has been a dog lover since a young child. At an early age, she developed a deep affinity for these animals - caring for them, playing with them, and sometimes even diagnosing an ailment. She really gets how to communicate clearly with a dog, playing with and helping them to feel comfortable and happy, while at the same time, maintaining the proper relationship so the dog knows she's in charge of the situation. Vyvyanne is sensitive to a dog's needs, likes and dislikes, and good at identifying the signs that a dog is anxious or scared, or that some body part is hurting. She's shown that she can be calm in the midst of a difficult event, such as dog aggression or a traffic hazard. On the business side, Vyvyanne has shown herself to be trustworthy, consistent and reliable. As a teen, she was often the care taker of other's animals, including dogs, cats, birds and horses. Now that she has a degree in Wildlife, Fish and Conservation from UC Davis, she has scientific knowledge of animal behavior and human-animal interactions.

I am experienced in many fields of employment and pay great attention to detail - please let me know your preferences on providing care in your home and I will follow your preferences as explained to me.
Information Vyvyanne M. would like to know about your pet
Any issues or traumas would be good to know of in advance, although that would not decrease the likelihood of me taking them on, especially fear/aggression towards other dogs, children, bikes, skateboards etc (in the case of my walking them) or if they are sensitive to certain touch. If you have a puppy, please let me know if there is anything you are working on with them that I should try to maintain while I spend time with them. Examples include trying to keep them from being too mouthy or bite-y, good behavior on leash, or just teaching them some good old commands. No breed preferences, I love them all!
A typical day
I can be available to take your dogs on longer walks if need be, and enjoy throwing balls, playing with frisbees etc. If your dog likes the water, I would love to bring them to the beach/water, and of course will offer to give them a bath afterward. I am very open to suggestions on where I should take your dog for walks/playtime, and will take note of things to avoid if they have any issues or traumas. If you have a puppy, I have some experience in training and maintaining good behaviors and will make sure to incorporate those skills during my time with your pup!
