Pet care experience

Safe and loving care for your Baby!

I've had many dogs and cats throughout my life. I loved them all and they were my best friends! I took them wherever I went and we had so much fun! We went to parks, the beach, softball games, the mountains, camping and wherever I could take them. I love to pamper animals and treat them with love and respect. I used to be an Emergency Medical Tech, so I know how important safety is. It's a priority! I pay attention to details to keep your Baby safe and secure. Your pooches will be well taken care of by me. Whether your Baby loves to play ball or just cuddle on the couch and get belly rubs, their needs will be met. They, and the weather will be the one to set the day. In my home I have 2 small dogs at home. They are both friendly, Kenji is young and very olayful, and Prin the Yorkie is a bit older and usually stays right next to me. My husband is usually around too and he likes to play with dogs and throw balls or squeeky toys. At night, he will sit in his recliner and pet your baby till he falls asleep. We live in a nice quiet neighborhood and have plenty of places to walk safely, so we would take nice walks to give your Baby some good exercise. I know that every dog or animal is different, so I am flexible to do the things that he/she likes to do. Your Baby will be safe and happy in our home! 30 minute walks Unless it's rainy or icy outside, our walks will usually last longer than 30 minutes. While we're on our walk, I do not spend time on my phone. I do check the phone when I have an alert, and just reply when it's a Rover client (you). All of the time is spent on giving attention to the pups! Yes...I do talk to the Babies. I always tell them how good they're doing, and let them know which way we are going. I keep their attention on me instead of the chicken bone on the ground, pieces of trash or anything your baby may put in his/her mouth. I try to stay on top of things to avoid hazards. In your home What you need and want for your pet is what they will get. If you don't want your Baby to be in a cage or in a strange place while you're gone, I will come to take them out or stay with them.

Don’t hesitate to book Akemi for cat care drop-ins! Akemi took great care of our cats while we were away. She took time to let them become comfortable with her, and added playtime when our cat(s) allowed it. She also took care of any surprises that came up along the way. Would absolutely book her again! 😊✨

House Sitting • kwi 05, 2026

Akemi was great when housesitting for me. My dog is very shy and selective but she was able to get him to go outside, eat, and even lounge on the couch with her. Akemi was also very respectful of my home and left it just it was when she arrived. She is also great about keeping me updated on her daily agenda when it came to my dog and shared many photos of him throughout the days. Highly recommend! :)

Akemi came to let my dog out and to visit with him. He is shy with new people but she was very patient. I am looking forward to Akemi watching him again in the future!

Akemi is absolutely wonderful! She truly goes above and beyond when caring for your pet! We have a 15 yr old chiweenie that she’s been letting out once a week for the past month that needed extra time and patience and she takes the time to make sure shes well taken care of each time! Even staying past the half hour mark when needed just to ensure she’s okay. If you want a sitter you can trust that will go above and beyond for your fur kids, she’s the one!

Schedule

I walk other dogs around noon time but am usually back withing a few hours. And at times I may need to go grocery shopping. So about 4 hours would be the longest I would be out of the house. Also my husband works from home, so someone would be home at all times.

Safety, trust & environment

Though I do not have a fenced in yard, we have safe streets and sidewalks in which to walk. And when it rains, we have a very long hallway that the dogs can run if they like to fetch.

Pets

A typical day

We have a very safe place to walk dogs. There are sidewalks on every street, and the speed limit is 15mph. I can walk fast or jog a little bit but I am not a runner, so if you have a large young dog, I will not be able to keep up. But I can throw a ball all day long or play tug with ropes. And on some non rainy days, we may go to the dog park which have a separate small dog section so they can play safely.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Unspayed females accepted, neutered males only
No females in heat
Takes only 1 client at a time
Akemi can host up to 1 pet per night
Other than a normal day of playing and walking, I would need to know of any special requirements. Medication, medical history if any, special habits, special diets and what makes your baby happy. I can walk and control most small to mid sized dog. I can also walk large senior dogs if they do not pull or run fast.
