Pet care experience

Pet lover

Pet-sitting has become a meaningful part of my life. Alongside my wife, I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for the past three years, and it’s truly been the perfect way to fill the gap left by being away from my own dog. I genuinely cherish the companionship they bring and always make it a priority to ensure they feel comfortable and loved. You can count on me to treat your furry friend with the same care and attention I would give my own – keeping them safe, happy, and well looked after while you’re away. Whether it’s a tiny purebred dog or a large, energetic mixed breed, I do my best to keep them entertained and maintain a joyful routine tailored to their needs.

Safety, trust & environment

Although I can’t host pets at my place, I’m more than happy to care for your furry friend in the comfort of your home. I always make it a priority to follow your specific instructions to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. With plenty of experience sitting for both dogs and cats in the area – including overnight stays – I’m dedicated to making your pet feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Since I’m currently working remotely, I have the flexibility to stay for longer periods at your place, as long as there’s WIFI access and a comfortable spot to use my laptop. When sitting for dogs, I usually take them for three walks a day – morning, afternoon, and evening – but I’m happy to adjust to your dog's specific routine to make sure they feel comfortable and content.

Akira took excellent care of the dogs and the house. We returned to a house that was cleaner than when we left!

Akira is wonderful with our dogs and so respectful of our home. He was even kind enough to put our laundry over at our request because it slipped our mind before we left. The dogs know and love him and we’re all looking forward to the next time!

Dog Walking • Jul 16, 2026

Akira met with us to go for a walk together with our dog since this was our first booking. Akira was easy to communicate with, on time, and kind. He asked great questions about our dog and it looks like they'll get along very well.

Akira is amazing, great communicator, truly loves watching animals, and always leaves the house spotless. He provides great care for my kitty and keeps me updated throughout his booking. Couldn’t recommend him enough!

Akira and Marcella did a great job with our 2 dogs. One can be aggressive towards stangers but she was comfortable with them right away. They also left the place cleaner than when they arrived! Highly recommend.
