Viva Pets

This was my first experience with a professional pet sitting company and I would definitely recommend! Before, we would just use friends for our 12 year old cat, Princess Shabubu, who is a bit of a brat when it comes to us leaving town.
When I emailed, Aubrie responded quickly and was super friendly and professional. After meeting her, I felt very comfortable leaving my cat in her hands. Also, I really enjoyed the daily email and pic of my cat.
She did a great job with my cat’s weird eating rules, AND we came home to no ‘presents’ she likes leaving for us on our rugs as a kind of FU for leaving her (which ALWAYS happens when we leave her for a trip)
I only wish my cat was nice to Aubrie! Aubrie was such a trooper putting up w Shabubu’s bitchy, acting out behavior towards her.
Definitely a PRO at her job!

Aubrie is so great! I had her stay with my pups while I was away for the weekend… she sent me daily updates along with pictures. I had just moved into a new place so unfortunately she had to endure a couple unpacked boxes and my lack of routine, but did so without a problem! I’ll definitely call on her again!

As most of you pet owners out there, my dogs are pretty much my children.
I am always apprehensive leaving them in another person’s hands…
However, when it comes to Aubrie, I had ZERO doubt or fear!!!
I knew that she would take care of our crazy little ones as they were her own! They are quite a handful when it comes to other dogs, but Aubrie knew exactly what to do. She is such a professional! She treated them with love and care and I am truly thankful for that.
Best baby sitter EVER!

Aubrie and Brian are such dedicated animal lovers. There’s no other people (including family) that I trust more to take care of my cat. They are game changers in the world of pet sitting.

Aubrie is the only person I will trust with our kitty daughter and our two finicky bunnies. Not only does she go above and beyond as a pet sitter (sending update pics!) she also happens to be one of the coolest people I’ve ever met. I love her and couldn’t recommend her enough!

The way pet-​sitting should be! I think we have a lot of ‘rules’ for our two coocoo kitties, so it’s great to come home and find them so chill. You really can’t beat getting a photo every day of your pets — it’s incredibly assuring and relaxing to know that your furry family is a-​ok!
Viva LA Pets is super reliable, and the Best in the EP Hood! I will hire them until I die! … Or move.
Thank you Aubrie!

As a crazy cat lady with 4 cats and frequent fosters, I find it’s pretty important to have a good cat sitter. We’ve used Viva Pets many times now, usually for 3 – 4 day long trips. They are super reliable, thorough, and great with our animals. Even our shy cat loves them. They go above and beyond, making sure everything stays clean (no dirty litter bags left behind, clean water always, etc) and the cats have all the care they need. Aubrie and Brian are simply the best.

Aubrie, Brian and their team are IRREPLACEABLE. There’s a difference between someone who likes dogs and someone who understands dogs. They definitely fall in the latter category. Having someone who can manage two (lovable, trained) pit bulls is not easy, and yet my dogs are completely enthralled with Aubrie and Brian. What’s more, they respect and implement the dog training methods and structure that’s necessary to keep my boys happy and stable. They are flexible in scheduling, which is great as my hours change on a daily basis. AND, they go so far as to turn on my porch light for when I come home late at night! They really go the extra mile to take care of my dogs like they were their own. I don’t know what I’d do without them.

I have used Viva Pets several times now, both for extended vacations and weekend trips. Aubrie, Brian, and their helpers are all awesome. Easy to coordinate with and I love getting the text updates of my kitties while I’m away, it really sets my mind at ease. I would not hesitate to recommend!

I had a horrible experience the first time I used a pet sitter some other place so I was very hesitant to use one again. But I was going away and had no choice but to try.
I am so happy I did, Viva Pets are amazing. They are the only people that my cat doesn’t hide from. They gave me updates with pictures daily and even when I got back and was so swamped, I got a text making sure everything was OK with Brutus. They didn’t just want to leave her alone if I didn’t get back for some reason.
These are honestly animal people and not just to make a buck. They absolutely go the extra mile. I have seen this since the first time I left. I left a really long list for them to make Brutus comfortable and they did everything and more to make her and me feel comfortable.
So in conclusion the money I spend with them is cheaper than I would spend in a boarding house for my cat and she hates to leave so now I don’t have to stress her out when I have to leave. These people are amazing.

We got Aubrie and Brian to look after our pets over the holidays and could not have been happier with them. They watched over our two crazy kittens Pickles and Sheeba and did a fantastic job all around. Everything was cleaned and ready to go when we got back, and the kitties were as hyper as when we left them. They sent us pictures each day as well as proof of life.
As Charlie S. put it, usually our animals are bouncing off the walls (literally) when we come home, but instead they were perched happily on the couch and we were greeted with a «Hello there, how were your travels abroad?» rather than a «HELP ME IM STARVING AND MY LITTERBOX IS OVERFLOWING!»
Thanks Aubrie and Brian!

Viva Pets, AKA Aubrie and Brian, are quite simply the bomb. My crazy mutt loves them to death and they shower tons of affection on him. When they started walking my dog, I’d get texts and great photos so I knew he was taken care of and happy, now the trust is totally there but I still get a great pic now and again. When I went away for two weeks, they stayed at my house and took care of my buddy — I knew he was super happy because when I returned he was just like «hey dude, sup» instead of the panicked, desperate «OMIGOD YER BACK IT WAS AWFUL!!!» that I was used to. (I was a little disappointed to be honest haha).
Long story short, they’re really nice people who love animals, super dependable and responsive, and they make my mutt a very happy little man.

SO glad I met these folks!
My dog adores Aubrie and Brian — she literally has huge love-​eyes for both of them and gets out of control excited when she see’s her Viva Pets caretakers. They just have a way with my anxious, rowdy pitt-​shepherd mix that makes me feel totally confident leaving her in their care.
They are so easy to work with in terms of scheduling and stay in communication the entire time I’m gone. My dog has ALWAYS been weird when I come home from a trip but she isn’t when Viva Pets watches her, it’s like she was just chilling at home with family. I don’t know what voodoo they do, but they do it well. Call them already!:)

Aubrie is an amazing with your pet family members. No one is better! She loves them like her own :)

Aubrie and Brian are fantastic! In the past, my cat MooMoo would be taken care of by friends, or would even travel with me (she was not a fan). I decided it was time to have professional pet sitters look after her and chose Viva Pets based on their great reviews.
They came over to meet us before my trip and to get all the details. While I was gone, they sent text and picture updates to my cell phone so I would know how MooMoo was doing. I also needed to have them add a last minute trip to my apartment, which they were happy to do. When Aubrie came by to drop my keys off, MooMoo ran right up to her.
Aubrie and Brian are not only very professional, but also incredibly friendly. I felt very comfortable knowing they were taking care of my cat and will definitely have them watch her in the future.

Aubrie & Brian have watched my cat Walter several times in the last 5 months, and he loves them. I feel good knowing that when I’m away, they will give him love and play with him – not just feed him and leave. Aubrie texts or emails me a daily «Walter shot» while I’m away which puts my mind at ease. They are pet sitters who truly care about my beast, and I highly recommend them!

Aubrie is not only a fantastic pet sitter, but also a great person. She is kind and loving and takes excellent care of my pets – she truly treats them as though they are her own! She is extremely trustworthy and my cats and dogs love her – even my dog who does not like anyone coming into her home! I have a cat who acts up when I go out of town, and since using Aubrie, I have not seen one behavioral issue. Not only does this make coming home a much more pleasant experience, but I can truly enjoy my vacation because I know my fur family is fine.
My pets are like my family and I would not trust their care to anyone other than Aubrie. Give her a call – you won’t regret it!

I took my dog to work for 2.5 years, and now we can only bring dogs on Fridays. I wasn’t sure what to do with my dog the rest of the week, since she was in the habit of being with me every day. I was referred to Viva Pets by a friend, and I couldn’t be happier!
Aubrie has been very sweet, patient, and professional with my skittish terrier mix. They have bonded, which is such a relief. It usually takes her a long time to warm up to people. My neighbor said she saw Aubrie and my dog together and she was very sweet with her. That’s great to hear!
Aubrie takes my dog for a potty break a couple times a week, and her prices are very affordable! I have already recommended her to a friend, and I will continue to refer her in the future!

I found these guys through their Unilocal reviews and thought I would give them a try since I needed a cat sitter. I have 4 cats– don’t judge me!
I go out of town once in awhile and needed someone to come by and make sure my fattie didn’t eat all the food and starve the others.
Aubrie was wonderful. She came to my house in Noho to meet me and my 3 kitties (2, 2, and 4, respectively) and my 1 old geriatric cat who is 14. Of course they could not care less about people when they come over so they weren’t too interested in her. Typical. Aubrie didn’t mind, she is used to snootie cats, nice cats, crazy cats. I could tell she had experience with the feline variety.
Aubrie brought her notebook and took some notes on each cat and who gets what, when. My cats are all very easy, they all eat the same food so basically I just needed her to make sure their bowls had food and water and the box was cleaned once a day. My old man needed pills given once a day so she was able to do that also. Anyone who can pry Buzz’s old jaws open to get a pill in is definitely a good pet sitter in my book.
The charge was $ 20 a day for a 30 minute visit + $ 5 for each additional cat. Not a bad price to pay to make sure Ol’ fatty didn’t eat all the food and they didn’t kill each other for 3 days.
I forgot to mention to her that we had a babycam set up in the house so we can see what goes on when we are gone, from our Iphones. I actually caught a glimpse of her in my home making an attempt to ‘play’ with my lazy bastards. It was really cute. They are the most disinterested animals ever, and she still tried! She was also very clean about scooping the box and did everything the way I asked her to. I feel bad for spying, but am happy to know she does everything the right way.
I will definitely call Viva Pets again for sitting services. I may even call for poop-​scooping services as well since my hubby is out of town a lot and I really am too lazy to pick up the dog poo in the backyard. If we didn’t have a friend who loves taking the dogs when we’re gone, I’d probably call Viva Pets for dog-​sitting as well.
Great company. Very satisfied. =D

I understand that some of Viva Pets’ reviews have been filtered. Please read them. They’re all legit and Viva Pets REALLY IS as good as it gets.
Aubrie Davis cared for my 3 cats (Oatmeal, Matilda, and Eva) over a 7 day period while my family and I were out of state on vacation. In the past I’ve had family members come in, but wanted to try a pro. Aubrie is ALL pro. She’s amazingly sweet, kind, and my cats loved her. She showed up on time and even cleaned both litter boxes every day. As a vegan and a true animal lover you couldn’t trust your beloved pets to anyone more caring or responsible. She really is awesome and I felt totally at ease knowing she was taking care of my babies. I literally could go on an on about how happy I was with her service. We’ll be calling on her again in October when we travel again. Thanks Aubrie. You rock.
I should also add that when Aurbie came to pick up a check all 3 cats ran up to her immediately. LOL. That’s awesome.
