About Vivik

My Story

It is a bit long. Feel free to skip to My Pet Sitting for pet-sitting details.

It was love at first sight when I met Xiao Bai. I was on the way to my grandparents when I heard a weak yet persistent cry come from the side of the road. On the patchy grass, there is a puppy the size of a hand. His eyes were still shut. It was just him. No other puppies or the mother. All alone and helpless. 

I was determined to help him, but my mother said "If we came back from grandpa and he was still here, then we would help him." We came back after a few hours, and he was still there. We took him to the vet. The vet cleaned the fleas off him and showed us how to take care of a newborn dog. 

We took him home and named him Xiao Bai(Little White) because of his beautiful white fur. We had to feed him every four hours in the beginning. I love the way he looked for the milk bottle even with his eyes still shut. He was so determined to live! (or gets excited about food just like many dogs). I still remember how blessed it was to see his eyes open for the first time to see the world!

I wanted to extend my love to other animals by becoming a vet, but life took its turn when I moved to a new country and started learning a new language. Eventually, I became an engineer, which I also enjoyed a lot. My love for animals and my desire to take care of them continue. I now find joy in taking care of other people’s pets.

My Pet Sitting

I have boarded both cats and dogs at my home. I live with my partner and we both love pets. It is suitable for pets up to 18kg. I work from home and can walk your pet up to 3 times a day. During my break I love to give them lots of attention. I have also stayed at the owner’s place looking after their cats.

I am happy to meet you and the pet once before you book at a public place. I will also be happy to answer questions about the home space and neighborhood.

After you book, you will receive my personal contact information and we will discuss the details. While I look after them, I send photos or videos of them to you once a day and respond to your questions quickly. 

I know every pet is the owner’s baby and I take care of them just the way you wish plus lots of love and attention. I look forward to looking after your babies!

we are so fortunate to have had Vivik take care of our pet. When our originally planned petsitter backed out due to health reasons, we were worried but once we met her, we knew Roofi our pet would be well taken care of. Thanks Vivik.

Vick was a really great finding! Since we started speaking, I felt right away we could trust our little ones with her. And everything went super well! She offered us so much peace of mind while taking care of our two dogs, during our long trip. She also managed to get their trust so much, that she was able to give their eye drops everyday!

Vicky sent us many photos and video updates, and I'm pretty sure our dogs also miss her now 🥹. You can definitely leave your dogs with her and relax!

I volunteered at a dog shelter. My task was to take different dogs out for a walk. One dog at a time. My mother-in-law's German Sheppard used to pull the leash when being walked. I trained her with Will Atherton's method and she walks happily without pulling the leash now.
