Safe and loving care for your Baby!

Pet care experience

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 My 12 year old Beagle is a gentle and loving soul. She gets along with cats and dogs and most animals. 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 live near the beach and a school 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.

Akemi took great care of Poppy! Kenji and Prin were friendly and fast friends to both Poppy and I. I recommend Akemi and will book with her again.

Akemi was a great car sitter for us! We knew that our cat was very well taken care of while we were out of town and was given lots of love ! We will plan on using Akemi anytime we go out of town!

Akemi was so kind and communicative when checking in on our cats. She took time to make sure our cats got play time and hugs.

Information Akemi R. would like to know about your pet

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 dogs if they do not pull or run fast.

A typical day

We will walk at the school nearby after school hours or walk on the beach at the allowed times. I can walk fast or jog a little bit but I am not a runner, so if you have a large young dog, I may not be able to keep up. But I can throw a ball all day long or play tug with ropes.
