Akiko can care for

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs

Availability

I do dog walking/cat drop in/dog overnight stay as a full time job. I will be gone 6-8 hours during day but other than that I will take your pup to an adventures! If your pup is good with other pups, I could put your pup for work, going places and hangout with new friends and I will pay his/her working wages in treats:) I am an outdoor and high energy person so if your pup is an active one then we are good fit. My regular dog walks usually finishes around 3pm (weekend usually all day free or one 1 or 2 cat visits) so I could take your pup to bigger park like Discovery Park, Magnuson Park, Lincoln Park or wherever near your home.

Dog Walk: I make sure their harness and leash are working condition. I will check with you about your pup’s personality, like leash reactive, any wheels reactive and such before accepting your request. Dog Overnight Sitting: I will check with fully fenced yard or not, whether he or she will dash out the door, whether your pup will counter surfing, and such. Cat/Dog Drop In: I will check with you whether your kitty/pup will dash out the door. I will make sure she or he has enough water till you will be home or next time I drop in, sign of barf or mess on floor to see she or he is ok, any dangerous things in reach. I will bring in your packages if I see them.

Information Akiko K. would like to know about your pet

Habit, basic commands like “potty” or “pee pee” whatever the commands she or he is used to. Likes, dislikes. I also want to know his or her energy level and any restriction.

A typical day

First thing I do when I get your request is check map! I would love to find nearby parks, fun paths, trails, anywhere that I can do with your pups!

I am flexible and pretty sure we can find a perfect solution that fits your needs:) I have been caring for dogs over 20 years and would love to take care of your furry family member at his or her own comfortable house! Each day for your pup includes at least 2 walks around your neighborhood or park plus unlimited indoor playtime or play ball or toys outside in your yard. For kitty, unlimited playtime! I am really active person and I will be outside almost all day, running with your pup or hiking no matter what the weather is so if you have high energy pup, no problem! I am happy to see who gets tired first:) I am also able to provide transportation to a vet if needed and have experienced with administering insulin. I will be gone close to 8 hours during daytime so I am not suitable for a pup or kitty who requires constant attention. I am CPR certified, puppy, senior dog and shy dog experienced. I can't wait to meet you and your four-legged family member! Please feel free to message me if you think I would be a great fit for your loved ones!

Akiko is excellent! Even with her own busy schedule, she made my boy a top priority and was incredibly reliable. She provides great interaction and is very observant of his health and habits. She is professional, kind, and clearly cares deeply about the animals she watches. I felt so much better knowing Maru was in her hands. 5 stars!

Akiko is an absolute lifesaver and a true professional! I had a nightmare situation with my leasing office being extremely difficult about keys, and Akiko handled it with so much patience and grace. She even went out of her way to help me grab a package from the lockers. She sends wonderful photo and video updates and interacts with Maru a lot —I loved seeing her fix his 'jungle' tunnel and play with him. She is so observant that she even noticed he was licking himself more often and worked to distract him. I am so grateful to have found someone so caring and reliable. Highly recommend!
