I'll love your pup(s) forever!
Pet care experience
People come to me for pet-sitting before they consider regular boarding. I take care of every pup as if they are my own. All my boarding and sitting services include walks, medication administration, play time, etc.; I look to make sure your pup is loved while you are away. I will always ask to do a meet and greet before agreeing to a booking; I want to ensure that both you and your pup(s) feel comfortable with me as a sitter. I will not watch dogs for two families simultaneously. If I'm pet sitting for you, I can gaurantee that all my attention will be on your little one(s). I work well with pups who get nervous or have separation anxiety. I know leaving fur babies at home or with a stranger is sometimes difficult and nerve wracking, but if you allow me to take the time to get to know them, we'll get acquainted in no time. I haven't cared for a pup that hasn't warmed up to me within the hour. I have experience with pups of all ages, from months old to 13 years old. I am fine waking up in the middle of the night for potty breaks as needed. I don't own any dogs on my own right now. However, I do have two cats, Milo and Remi, who do well with dogs. I grew up with two golden retrievers though--104lb Cody, my dearest best friend; and 60lb, Taylor, his little sis and my favorite sweet girl. Availability for walks: M-F = lunch time and after 5:30pm; Weekends = All Day
Reviews
Akiko is amazing! She is very professional and was really sweet to my dog. If I ever need a dog sitter in the future, I will not hesitate to contact her.
Akiko is hands down one of the best fur sitters I've had the pleasure of working with. She's very attentive, loving and genuinely an animal lover. Lexi, my fur baby, is usually very cautious and wary of strangers but took to Akiko right away! I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her services for future care!
Our first time using Rover and I wasn't disappointed! Akiko seemed to care for my fur babies the way I wanted them to be taken care off. If I would need a doggie sitter, I would definitely hire her again.
I am so happy I found Akiko! This was the first time I left my fur baby with someone I didn't know, so I was stressing about having to leave him, but 5 minutes after meeting her, I could tell he'd be in good hands. I so appreciate that she let us come meet her before my trip so Chance could get to know her. He clearly made himself right at home during his stay with Akiko and she did an amazing job making him feel comfortable and loved. She also sent me lots of pictures, which I greatly appreciated. I really cannot thank her enough for the great care she provided Chance and will definitely use her again if I need a dog sitter.

Information Akiko B. would like to know about your pet
I want to know all about your pup's daily activities so I can keep things as normal for them as I can while you're away. I'll ask about feeding and walking schedules, playtime or leisure preferences, medication or special needs, and if there's anything about your pup that might need more attending to. I would also like to know how your dog is with other pups or people, in case we should keep walks and playtime during times when less pups/people are out and about.
A typical day
I live by Legacy West and my apartment has a fenced dog area where I can take your pup(s) out as needed. There are walk areas around where I live as well, where I can take your pup. If you are comfortable and want me to, I can take your pup with me around Plano/Frisco to various lake areas to walk around. Otherwise, we'll be homebodies in my apartment :) I will never walk your pup off leash. If your pup doesn't feel comfortable around other pups or people, I'll also arrange walk times and locations to be more private.
