I'm Viv — a dynamic, grounded woman in my thirties with a full life
and an even fuller heart for animals. Between two professional careers, I
stay active, spend time with horses, and cherish every moment with the
pets in my care. Animals aren't a side note in my life — they are my life.

My Philosophy

Every pet deserves to feel safe, seen, and at home — even when their owner isn't there.

I believe great pet care goes beyond the basics. It means truly
understanding each animal as an individual: their personality, their
quirks, their needs. It means showing up with consistency, patience, and
genuine affection — because love, as any good carer knows, takes real
work.

My commitment to you and your pet:

• 🐾 Safety first — always, without compromise
• 🐾 Quality that exceeds expectations — every single visit
• 🐾 Your pet comes first — I'm their trusted friend in your absence
• 🐾 Deep understanding of animal ethology — I adapt to their world, not the other way around
• 🐾 A home away from home — comfort and calm, in my hands
• 🐾 Full transparency — open, honest communication with you at every step
• 🐾 Happy pets, happy owners — that's the only outcome I aim for

What I Offer

With 15+ years of hands-on experience as both a pet
owner and dedicated carer, I bring confidence, reliability, and genuine
expertise to every engagement — from beloved family pets to exotic
species, horses, and select livestock.

Services include:

• 🏠 Home visits, dog walks & house sitting
• 🍽️ Feeding, watering & daily routines
• 🛁 Brushing & grooming care
• 💊 Medication administration & first aid
• 📸 Regular updates & photos during visits/sittings (on request)
• ✅ Full hygiene standards & Pawshake Policy compliance
• 🤝 Free first meet-up — for you and your pet, no strings attached

Flexible short-term or long-term arrangements available.

A Few Things to Know

To ensure the best experience for everyone, please note that I'm unable to accommodate:

• Dogs that are insufficiently house-trained on my premises
• Pet transport in my personal vehicle (not suitable for this purpose)
• Off-lead walks
• Any requests that are unsafe or unethical
• Off-platform arrangements or payments (Pawshake keeps us both protected — let's keep it that way)

Looking forward to meeting you and your furry, feathered, or four-legged family member!
