”Viv is a great dog sitter! She has taken care of my dog, Snoopy several times and he was relaxed and happy. Viv is a reiki practitioner as well and the calm energy transferred to him when she’d give him a massage. I highly recommend her.”

Introduction: MEET VIV!

Hi, I’m a former art professor, yoga & meditation teacher I love communing with animals. Cat’s are my fave but I love the personalities and warmth of dogs, and I enjoy walking in nature (and need to lose a few pounds post Covid!)


What better work than dog walking? I love being outside, and can often be found painting clouds on a summer day (see my art website.)


In the past I’ve done housesitting and petcare for my friends and colleagues.


Now branching out to start Hip Happy Hound for Ithaca pet parents in need of reliable, honest, loving support.
