Just checking in 4 years later to say I still love Viva Pets and highly reccomend them! They've been with me through the loss of one of my senior cats and the adoption of a new kitten over the years and embrace every challenge with grace and compassion. My super shy car has opened up so much to the VP team and it makes me happy to know they are cared for during my many trips out of town this year. read more

My cats are my life, and I wouldn't trust their care to anyone but Aubrie and the VP team. Speak to them for one minute and it will be easy to tell they LOVE animals. Capital letters kind of love. They are reliable, they care, and the emails they send after each visit are something else. I've been their client since 2020, and for as long as they offer their services, I will continue hiring them. read more

What else can I say about Viva Pets except they are truly the best pet care service I have ever used. From the daily detailed report (ya'll, it is detailed!), to the photos of my pets, to the reasonable prices, they continue to show up as a reliable and extremely caring company. Aubrie and her team always communicate clearly and effectively and the process to get booked in has always been well organized and easy. These are legit kind humans who really do care. I tour with bands so I am away A LOT and for long periods of time and I never have to worry about not only my pets but also my home; both are treated with extreme care and respect. I also appreciate that they are still Covid conscious (yes it's still a thing and people are still getting sick) because with the amount of homes they go into, the immunocompromised need to be looked out for. I can vouch that the time to take 2 covid tests to show my negative status after having it (right before I was leaving and needed to show them my cats new medication) is well worth the service you will get from VP. Speaking of medication, they are experienced in giving pet meds, even things like sub-q fluids! That has been why some companies wouldn't take my pets on in the past. Viva Pets understands special needs animals, which not all companies will take on. Knowing that most of the employees at VP are also pet parents eased my mind that this company understands the importance of peace of mind when you are away from your kids. I cannot thank Aubrie, her team, and Viva Pets enough for allowing me to focus on my job when I'm away and not have to worry about my kids or house. They are really are the best out there and I don't know what I would do with out them! (I've attached just a small screen shot to show just how detailed the daily reports are!) read more

Viva Pets - Daily recap - Dog Walkers Near Me

Viva Pets is by far the absolute best pet care service I've ever known to exist. I lost a little one due to poor care once, and I never thought I would feel comfortable with anyone else caring for my fur babies, but with Viva Pets I never have to worry. They not only give excellent care, I receive amazing and helpful updates, I receive the best pictures of my baby when she's out on her walks, and I feel safe and secure with a member of the Viva Pets family in my home. They are worth the price and then some. You will never worry about your kiddos again. read more

Viva Pets are the best. They've been walking our dogs for well over 8 years in the Los Angeles area. We love Aubrie and the VP team!

Viva Pets did such an amazing job with my dog Star while I was at Disneyland for a day then gone the weekend after that for a wedding! Both times their communication was regular and thorough, and both times I came home to such a happy dog! Could not recommend them more. read more

Love Viva Pets! The whole team is so kind and thoughtful. I had booked a 10 day trip before becoming a cat dad (wasn't planned, sometimes the choose you) and was very nervous about being gone. The consistent updates and care was so appreciated. I'm always nervous about being away from home for an extended period of time and this was the first time I was so at ease knowing the viva pets team was there. I got such a kick out of their updates (they get to know your pets so well). Highly recommend! read more

I was initially hesitant to choose a cat sitter based solely on Yelp reviews, but Aubrie and her team exceeded my expectations. Their 5-star ratings are well-deserved! They are thorough, trustworthy, and caring professionals who understand how difficult it is to leave our pets. The best part of my day while I was away was receiving an email update about my cat, complete with stories, photos, and notes from their care checklist--it was such a relief knowing she was in good hands. I highly recommend Viva Pets. read more

The Viva Pets team were an absolute life saver for us when we moved to LA and needed someone for dog walks. Our dog Rocko was a special boy that needed extra love and care. In our first meet with Aubrie, we were so relieved to see how well her and Rocko got on. It took so much pressure off of us when we were working late hours or didn't know our work schedule. The peace of mind was priceless! Communication was always easy and the whole team was so friendly. When we got the opportunity to adopt Moxie into our family it was a no brainer knowing Aubrie and the team would be there! The daily update emails and photos were the highlight of my day. Now that we've moved out of LA, I still follow Viva Pets to see all the cute animals they are hanging out with regularly. If you're looking for someone to take care of your fur babies, look no further! read more

Viva Pets - Dog Walkers Near Me

We've used VivaPets for years now and there is no one else I'd entrust my fur children to. Aubrie and her team are incredibly kind and thorough, detailing each visit in emails along with pictures and going above and beyond to make sure our pets are happy and safe. I cannot express how much I also appreciate the way they've conducted themselves since Covid hit, being transparent about their policies and keeping everyone involved safe. If you're going out of town and need someone to look after your babies, stop looking. This is the company. You found it. read more

Aubrie and her team are simply amazing! I've been using Viva Pets the last 3ish years, and they consistently go above and beyond. In addition to great service for my two bengal ladies (and all the great pics and videos they send when I'm away), they also make sure everything is in order at my place - Aubrie even changed the batteries in my smart lock once! I cannot recommend them more highly - very reasonable pricing and purrfect service. Sorry, couldn't resist. :) read more

We were referred to VivaPets when we needed cat sitters during a three-week vacation; we'd never hired anyone to watch our cats before, and our trip was too long to ask friends to come over daily. Aubrie came over to do an initial site visit and consult to get to know us and our cats, and we went over every aspect of their care. What sealed it for us was that Aubrie and her team "get" pet parents - they know that for many of us, our pets are our kids, and aren't fazed by any of our requests (you know, the stuff we do daily for our cats that we're embarrassed to ask our friends doing us a favor and stopping by after work to care for them). Two different water fountains (one that bubbles and one that drips)? No problem. One cat eats treats too quickly so needs it spread thin, while the other eats slower and needs a blob so they finish before the faster cat can come over and steal it? Done. Our cats have a dedicated Google Doc with all of the details for their care, making it easy to update, follow, and stay on the same page. After every visit, we receive a full recap by email along with pictures - not always a guarantee with friends, and a welcome site in our inbox while traveling! On top of all that, Aubrie and the entire VP team have such warm, loving energy - energy that our cats have responded and reciprocated! The cats are so much less stressed when we return than before, and our most shy kitty has surprised us all by coming out to play and demand pets on visits. We use them for all our pet-sitting needs now, and can't recommend this team enough to care for your pets! read more

Viva Pets - Proof of life! One of the daily recap photos we received. - Dog Walkers Near Me

I travel for a living (or used to before the pandemic) & I also have elderly cats with lots of various chronic medical issues managed by daily medication. I was very nervous to rely completely on a pet sitting service when I started living without roommates. Thankfully I found Aubrie & Viva Pets. Their prices are reasonable & the care they provide for my kitties is immeasurable. I certainly would not feel comfortable leaving my kitties with anyone else. They send along a detailed email after each visit & document everything - down to litter box habits & watering plants. Added bonus: they take just the cutest photos of my kitties. Some of my favorite photos of my kitties have come from Viva Pets. read more

I have used Viva Pets for several years, and just realized I haven't left a review. Ive trusted Aubrie and her team with my cranky, old chihuahua Herman for a long time and with good reason. They not only genuinely care about animals, they understand their energy and personality. They take extra care, and I'm very grateful to them. I could recommend them more, as I would rather Herman be in their care then even my partner, and he agreed. Ha Thanks Viva Pets read more

Viva Pets - Dog Walkers Near Me

Couldn't recommend Viva Pets enough. They care for your sweet fur baby as they would their own. Their detailed care reports set me at ease! I am a VERY neurotic, fussy mom and I trust them with my baby girl. My sweet, very shy kitty is hugely fond of each of the caretakers she's had come by - every single one of them. It was very surprising to me - she usually takes a long time to warm up to anyone she isn't familiar with. They are adamant about providing top tier, compassionate care for pets. 10/10. Aubrie and her team are saints. read more

Aubrie is the most caring person you'll ever meet. So naturally it was a no brainer that she started this business a decade ago and others clearly feel the same way! She has looked after all my fur children over the years and I always recommend her to my family and friends. She loves all animals, follows instructions to the T, is health conscious too. You couldn't have a better person looking after your pets. read more

I have been trusting Viva Pets with the care of my cat for the past eight years and Aubrie and her team have never disappointed. I appreciate the patience and kindness they show to my little guy, even though he's not the easiest. He often takes a few days to get over his grumpiness that my husband and I went out of town, and as he's gotten older, he requires daily medication as well. None of this interferes with the Viva Pets crew providing top-notch care. They're willing to go at my cat's pace and to see the best in him even when he's angry or goes into hiding. For this alone, I'd highly recommend them to anyone. But Aubrie and company go above and beyond when it comes to the business side of the operation as well. Booking online is simple and seamless, and they maintain a Google Docs profile that we can update before each trip so everyone is on the same page. They send detailed updates with photos after every visit, which are such a gift when we're traveling, as we get to know twice a day that everything is okay back at home. They're willing to do other small tasks while we're gone as well, like watering the houseplants and bringing in mail and packages. If we have extra perishable food in the fridge before a trip, they'll even take it to a community fridge for us so it doesn't go to waste. Aubrie, the business owner, so clearly cares about her clients and her community, and puts her values into action through the way she runs her business. Don't hesitate to choose Viva Pets! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Viva Pets! Aubrie did the "meet and greet" with my two cats, Lionel & Chloe, and was so thorough, and kind. It's also clear she loves what she does! Filling out a comprehensive form about my cat's histories, temperaments, medical needs, as well as house related information made me feel comfortable that Aubrie & the team would be able to take care of anything that could possibly arise while I was out of town. I don't think there's anything she hasn't thought of asking, and it's evident she wants everyone on her team to be as prepared as possible! They even pay attention to the sweet little things, such as asking if you leave a light on for your pet. The intake form becomes a shared Google Doc that can easily be edited. This made it easy to make some last minute changes, and add a few important notes before I left. For the four nights I was out of town, Zoë stayed with my cats overnight, and was simply wonderful. Each morning and night I received a detailed update as well as cute pictures & videos. Both of my cats have health issues and need numerous oral medications, and Zoë lovingly administered all of their meds, as well as gave one of my cats IV fluids. It's rare to have a pet-sitter that is not only sweet with your animals, but can also care for them on this level. It can be stressful to travel when you have animals that need this kind of care, but knowing they were in such good hands made it easy to relax. On the last day, I received pics of all of the clean litter boxes and freshly filled food & water bowls, and of course, pics of my babies. During this time, Aubrie was caring for my partner's cats, and we received the same thoughtful updates from her, along with daily pictures. We even got videos of our fish! Both Aubrie & Zoë, and I'm sure the rest of the Viva Pets team, were reliable, consistent, and communicative. I'll definitely be turning to Viva Pets for all upcoming pet-sitting needs and am so grateful a pet-sitting company like this exists! read more

Viva Pets continues to be my beloved and trusted go-to for pet sitting! I have a hard time imagining entrusting their care to anyone else. The caregivers are so thoughtful -- you can just tell how much they love animals -- and they are so professional -- I absolutely can't wait each time I get the email update with photos of my doggos with their VP pals. It's a bit anxiety-inducing to leave your pets in someone's care -- VP erases any and all anxiety. They are simply the best! read more

I needed transportation for a vet visit, so I booked a pet taxi ride with Viva Pets. Everything about this experience was so easy-going and seamless. Zoe, our driver, was punctual and sweet and created a very relaxed experience. The price was very reasonable, especially considering that Zoe waited for us to be done with the vet visit and then took us home. I've had to take lyfts, ubers, and taxi rides before and you never know what kind of experience you'll have. Viva Pets offers a safe, affordable, and efficient form of transportation for your pet appointment needs. read more

Short review: amazing service, above and beyond, so trustworthy! Long review: I have never left my cats with anyone so I was very apprehensive going into this process. But Aubrie made me feel so comfortable and secure leaving my cats for two weeks! The service is so organized and well-prepared, they asked questions I hadn't even thought of. During each visit I got a detailed report along with amazing photos, which is an impressive feat since my cats are so shy! Several different Viva Pets team members cared for my cats, and the quality of reports and photos was consistent among them. Finally, on their last visit they completely cleaned everything up, including cleaning the water fountain, so I didn't come home from vacation to a huge mess! Cannot recommend these guys enough. read more

Viva Pets - I got great pictures of my [normally very shy] kitties the whole time I was away. - Dog Walkers Near Me

Just wanted to update my review to say -- Viva Pets is hands down the best pet sitting service I have ever used. Aubrie and the team have a love for animals and humans and it is so evident through their interactions and utmost care. I recently lost my furry friend of 12 years, and Aubrie and Zoë were in there with us at the very end. They cared for him in his last days while we weren't able to, and went out of their way to accommodate hospital visits, etc. It brings me to tears when I think of how lucky I was to have such kind hearted care takers during such a difficult time. I'm forever grateful. read more

Providing an update here, as we consistently use VivaPets and they are always amazing! We've known Aubrie and her team for more than 5 years now, and they have taken care of our cats with such care, especially as one of our cats has aged and started to have health challenges and require special attention (he's 15 now!). We've even had some snafu's with keys and lock boxes that they have graciously helped us through, all while making sure our boys are happy and well-cared for. Lastly, we have moved 4 times since we have known them and they have moved with us! Their loyalty is amazing. read more

After 5 years we still Use Viva Pets LA! We have 2 new additions to our cat family, totaling 4 cats now and they were easily able to follow any new instructions we left, and always take great pictures with email updates. We recently used VPLA a few times to travel, now that we can, and they still take great care of our kittens. Our cats enjoy their company, and they work great with the more shy ones. We will continue using them as along as we can, and highly recommend them to any pet owners. read more

It's hard to believe we've been clients for TEN years now. Viva Pets is always there for us.

As a bonus, they happen to also be amazing pet photographers. Thanks, Viva Pets! We love you. read more

For the past two years, Aubrie and her team at Viva Pets have been our go-to whenever we've needed help with our pets. They are reliable, responsible and caring. We know that our pets (two cats, four newts, six fish tanks) and many house plants are all safe and well cared for when we're away. I love the videos and photos they send of all our various critters during their visits. They always cheer me up when I'm missing my babies! I respect and appreciate Aubrie's COVID policies and procedures. It shows that she cares for her team's and client's well being. Thank you Viva Pets for your dedication, love and care! read more

Stop looking for a pet sitter! This is the company to use. I pretty much stopped traveling for a couple of years because I didn't want to leave my two rescue cats alone nor did I like the idea of having strangers on the house. A colleague of mine recommended Vivapet's and I'm so grateful he did. I recently returned from a week away and they made it so easy! They boys were in such great hands. They were professional and thorough. I got daily reports and pictures! The place was kept super clean and tidy and it took all the stress away. I cannot recommend them highly enough and will absolutely be using them on a regular basis now I finally feel I can travel again. Thank you Vivapets! read more

Aubrie and the team have taken care of our two cats whenever we've been out of town for the past EIGHT years. They're always reliable, they send the best status updates and we love working with them. One of our kitties is an escape artist and she has never once gotten out when Viva Pets is in charge. Our other kitty is extra shy and she LOVES them. If you're looking for trustworthy, communicative sitters who genuinely love pets, there's nobody better than Viva Pets read more

Aubrie and team took great care of my two shy cats for years. While my cats are friendly, they're both skittish and a handful to medicate so I am very grateful for how they took care of them. I worry about my girls a lot when I'm out of town and their emails with detailed updates and pics always made my day! They are also very responsive by email and I never worried about getting in contact with them. One time I had a concern about my upcoming trip and Aubrie took the time to call me and discuss a plan to make sure my kitties were as comfortable as possible while I was gone, which meant a lot. Unfortunately I recently moved out of the area, but I highly recommend Viva Pets to anyone nearby who might need a cat sitter! read more

It's such a nice feeling to go away for the weekend and know your pets are in very good hands. We love to read the updates even on our trips, and get the detailed reports with pictures. Couldn't ask for a more professional and helpful service. read more

Aubrie and her team are fantastic!! We needed someone to help us out with short notice and Aubrie jumped right in. Our pets are members of our families and trust is very important when it comes to a service like Viva Pets. They do a wonderful job of building that trust. I love getting the updates about how the visit/walk with my dog went while she was out with them. They send the *cutest* photos of her along with a detailed run down of the visit. My dog clearly adores everyone who walks her. Seriously, look at this happy girl!! Highly recommend Viva Pets. read more

Viva Pets - Happy dog on her walk with Viva Pets - Dog Walkers Near Me

The pet sitters of our dreams! The how team at Viva Pets is caring, thorough, and detail oriented. We have two rambunctious and needy rescue dogs that I do not trust with strangers. No matter the situation: when something minor happens like mail is chewed or if there is a scuffle with another dog on a walk, VP lets us know exactly what is going on. We seriously relax when we are travelling and don't have to bug them for an update, because they always send them! It's a joy for us to get the emails with pictures of our fur children and a report of what's been going on. We haven't been interested in boarding them at a kennel while away for so many reasons so I see the visits from VP as worth every penny. The dogs get more walks and love and cuddles while VP staff are watching them probably then they do when we are home! We love VP. read more

I really wanted to come back to Yelp and leave an updated review because it's now 2019 and I've been client with Viva Pets for YEARS now. Aubrie and her team continue to take the very best care of my sweet little dog and I'm so so grateful every time I have a need for pet care that I can schedule care with VPLA. It means so much to know that your pets are safe when you have to work a long day or have to leave town. Thank you so much to Viva Pets for helping me always rest assured that my dog is safe and well cared for. The daily emails with the photo are so important to my peace of mind throughout the day. For those of us whose kids are their dogs (or cats), these communications are especially meaningful. I know we would all prefer to be the one taking care of our own pets, but when I can't, I know that Viva Pets will take the best care of her, and although I know I'll miss her, she'll be taken care of in the highest manner. read more

I feel like I hit the pet care jackpot with Viva Pets. I needed to hire a pet sitter for the first time and felt very apprehensive about the whole thing. But when Aubrie arrived for our meet and greet, I knew almost immediately that I could feel confident and happy leaving Howie, my recently-adopted cat, in her care. Howie has a history of physical abuse, so he's wary and skittish around new people. But all the great pictures, videos and reports that Aubrie and Zoë sent while I was away showed that he warmed up to both of them right off the bat. He was affectionate, trusting, and super-purry with them, which only confirms that they have some truly amazing kitty-wrangling superpowers. Thanks, Aubrie and Zoë and Viva Pets! 10 out of 5 stars! read more

Viva Pets - Dog Walkers Near Me

Very overdue review: Viva Pets is such a gem and I can't recommend them enough. I have a cat and anytime I was traveling I was always so stressed out trying to find someone to watch her. I was a little uncomfortable with the thought of a total stranger in my home but eventually you run out of friends to help. I'm so glad I found Viva Pets though. From the moment I met Aubrie she 100% put me at ease. She's such an awesome person and the whole team are rockstars. They send super through updates daily, and also include photos and videos -- I have so many glamour shots of my cat now. They really go above and beyond. Highly recommend!! read more

I have used Viva Pets at least half a dozen times (maybe more?) over the last several years and I cannot say enough good things about the services they provide. My cat was diagnosed with small cell lymphoma 3.5 years ago and has to be medicated daily, which causes me massive amounts of anxiety about traveling and leaving him home alone. Viva Pets offers overnight services and while they aren't cheap, they are worth every penny. Their team provides impeccable communication, they send updates with pictures, and booking is really easy and straightforward. In fact, I had other care lined up for my kitty that fell through during a recent trip out of town while my cat was having a medical emergency and Aubrie was not only able to accommodate a very last minute request while I was stressed and already on vacation, but all of the communication was extremely kind, professional, and empathetic. They always leave my apartment cleaner than I left it and I feel completely comfortable trusting them in my home and with my fur baby. If you're in need of compassionate pet care, you cannot go wrong with Viva Pets. read more

Best dog walkers in LA! I highly recommend them. I have had several different dog walkers for my pet and I will stick with Viva Pets. They are all honest and hard working and give my dog a full workout. I completely trust them and know that I am getting my money's worth. Aubrie is amazing and only hires the best. They send cute photos and send detailed emails with any updates of my dog's health. I love it:) Thank you Viva Pets! read more

Viva Pets is the absolute best service we use regularly, and we have used them for the better part of a decade. I can only speak to cat service, but any time we are away we can fully trust and count on Viva Pets to come feed and engage with our babies at a very reasonable price. Having access to our house is a big deal, but we know the staff at Viva Pets are completely professional and caring, and adhere to the highest standards of safety for themselves and our pets and home. We look forward to the updates we get on a daily basis which come with pictures/video and are extremely thorough and detailed. They always go the extra mile to make sure everything is safe and secure and that the pets are well cared for. They SO deserve your business...hire them!!! read more
