I work full-time schedule during the week, so my dedicated pet-sitting days are my priority during my time off. I treat my days off as fully committed 'pet days,' allowing me to focus on consistent routines and care for your pet. On my sitting days, my routine is completely centered around the animals in my care. A typical day includes structured morning and evening walks, dedicated playtime, and maintaining strict feeding and medication schedules. Because I value an active and healthy lifestyle, I love incorporating pets into my own daily movement for morning walks, a midday stroll, or active play sessions to keep them stimulated and happy. I also enjoy watching YouTube and Netflix, so if your pet prefers relaxing or feeling tired that day, I am happy to put on a show as well. I am excited to give the structure, exercise, and love your pet needs to feel comfortable and enjoy our time together.

Information Akio G. would like to know about your pet

I do not have a preference for sizes or breeds. It will be nice to know if your dogs have any conditions, are easily scared, or any notes. Anything so I can best serve you and your dog.

A typical day

I cater my day to the dogs needs. I am open to any kind of activities they enjoy. One of my dogs really enjoys sitting and just listening to music, while the other really enjoys being active and playing games. I am happy to cater to anything they enjoy or agenda you may have for us.

Pet care experience

I have experience taking care my own, friends’, and Rover dogs of all sizes and personalities by feeding, walking, training, and house sitting. Having owned my own large dog, I know the privilege and responsibility required to care and love your buddy. I am open to any special needs or care your dogs may require and am happy to work with your agenda. Growing up in a household with two cats and two dogs, I am more than happy to accommodate both types of pets! :)

Akio was amazing! He took great care of our dog and our apartment. He actually left our apartment much cleaner than when he arrived and left us a handwritten thank you card as well. He has a great temperament for taking care of animals and we are really glad he was available. Thanks Akio!! <3

Akio took great care of our dog, he communicated well and left detailed care notes for us. He is responsible and a genuine animal lover. We surly will be asking for his help again!

I have been good friends with Akio for years now, and I can easily say he is one of the most thoughtful, trustworthy, and empathetic people I have ever met. He is amazing with animals as well as people! I have two senior dogs and he is always so gentle and loving with them. When I went on a weekend trip, he took such good care of them for me. One of them can be a bit high maintenance as she has separation anxiety, and Akio did an amazing job of being there to comfort and care for her. I have no doubt that he would make an amazing dog sitter for anyone’s pups!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
