Your Pet's Loyal&Responsible Friend

Pet care experience

When Hurricane Sandy hit, I volunteered at the animal shelter and I learned to be sensitive to the needs of pets. I stayed overnight to watch over them, fed them, played with them, cleaned the cages and litters, and walked every and each one of the dogs that was in anxiety apart from their owners. That was my first time spending so much time with pets in one setting and I've never looked back since. I realized I can offer so much love to these pets especially knowing the possibility that some of them might not have a home to return to. I've come to love all furry animals through my experience with my families', friends', and neighbors' pets over the years. Each sweet character in my photos tells a story. I would do anything to make your pet feel at home at my spacious apartment. I'm available to walk your dog in the neighborhood. Just leave me instructions with their favorite food and toy, and I'll make sure your pet is well taken care of. If my availability fits your needs, I'd love to schedule a meet & greet with you and your pet!

Vivian cared for my 2 cats when I went away for a week, one is temperamental and one is very elderly so they are not the simplest. She was attentive to the detailed instructions I left for when and how to feed them. She reported back on their behavior and even watered my plants! There were no weird behavioral issues when I returned from my trip (usually my cats are mad when I leave for more than a day or two). I'm thankful I found someone trustworthy to watch my beasts when I go away!

Vivian took care of our Schnauzer on a weekend that was setting record temperatures (very hot days)! They took him for walks early morning and late at night to beat the heat and I could tell he was happy staying with them. Looking forward to our next trip!

Vivian took good care of our dog. She updates us throughout the day and send us pictures of our dog. I feel comfortable leaving my dog with her again in the future.

She was very good with our puppy. It was the first time we used rover and I think our puppy had some trouble adjusting, but Vivian was very patient with her and kept us updated. She gave us pictures and videos during the stay. I definitely recommend her!

Please know that I strive to provide the best care to your pet. I'd like to start with dog walking before deciding if we'd be a good fit to sit or board your dog at my home. I keep a very clean and organized home with my kids so I'm only considering dog boarding if your dog is house trained and acclimates with me and my home well.
