Paw Vivant

Elise is a wonderful sitter and throughout the years became someone we can trust with our two fur babies. She even cut their nails and tend to their needs without me asking. There was a time my dog had a stomach upset while I was on vacation and she was as adamant to resolve the issue and ensuring my dog got better. Happy to her business grow from her home setting to now a facility!

Elise at Paw Viviant is great. The space provided is clean and spacious. I get reluctant dropping my dog at a boarding due to the amount of dogs in one space, but I appreciated Elise’s process on ensuring the safety of both my dog and the others dogs. I love the daily report cards I got, it’s so cute and fun and just a good way to get updates without having to manually text or check in. She was very communicative and always addressed my questions. She also had great attention to detail and trimmed his nails! At the end, she gave me such a cute photo of my dog with a treat and it felt good to know he was in good hands and had fun. He also didn’t come back smelly or dirty!

We’ve trusted our dog Khaya with Elise at Paw Vivant multiple times and couldn’t be happier. From day one, she was treated with so much kindness and care. What really stood out was the flexibility, the regular photo updates, and the thoughtful feedback throughout each stay — it genuinely put our minds at ease while we were away. It’s clear this is more than just a business; it’s a labor of love. Highly recommend Paw Vivant to anyone looking for a sitter they can truly trust with their furry family member!

It was our first time leaving our pet Kobe at any daycare. This is our first and this is probably gonna be our only place to take him! I can’t wait to have him go back again!!! Elise is awesome!!

I am so thrilled that there is a new boarding/daycare facility open in Fremont. I have used multiple daycares in the east/south bay and had problems with all of them (except the now closed Good Dog Daycare in Hayward). At 3 different daycares in Fremont and Milpitas, my dog was bit and not a single time did any employee notice that it had happened. Many daycares have 40 to 50 dogs and very few people to watch them which leads to injuries. Paw Vivant is a small facility with personalized care for your dog. Before Paw Vivant opened, I was on the verge of cancelling my xmas trip when I was fortunately referred to Elise as a dog sitter and she did a wonderful job with my puppy. She was in contact daily with updates and I could tell Bailey was in good hands. When I drop her off at Paw Vivant, she nearly tears my arm off trying to get inside and comes back tuckered out but not overly exhausted, smelly or dirty. I can tell she had a great day. This should be everyone's go to place in the area for dog boarding and pet sitting.

My pup started boarding here a few months ago. Elise and her staff have created such a homelike environment at Paw Vivant. Indoor/outside play, couches for the pups and plenty of attention. It is clean and the sleep area has spacious crates for ultimate relaxation. They have overnight staff so pups are never alone. They send daily pupdates with plenty of photos. My pup dashes into the gate when we drop him for boarding.

My dog has been here twice now for boarding and we've loved the experience! I'm glad she gets playtime and isn't locked up in a crate all day but also gets rest times in between. My dog is pretty anxious around new people/places, but from the updates I get she always seems happy to be there. I think she likes that it's smaller and less chaos compared to the structure of other boarding places. It's very clean and has calming music which I appreciate. My only minor complaint was the first time we took her she must have got her arm out of harness (not the first time she's done that) but it made it very tight and uncomfortable when I picked her up, so I wish that was adjusted. This time we took her with just a collar and everything was all good. Would still highly recommend this place!
