About Akira P.
Communication
Dog skills
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.
Information Akira P. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any special needs or particular demands. I am used to administering pills to dogs under oral treatment. Telling me about any need or particularity would help your furry friend have a better experience.
A typical day
When walking your dog, I like to stay in familiar areas. This sometimes means I mimic the same route you take with your dog. A new person in a new place can be overwhelming, and I want to keep the stress levels down until your dog and I get to know each other better. Once we're better acquainted, the walks can branch out to local trails and different neighborhoods. I love taking dogs out for walks, letting them explore all the new smells and the hustle and bustle of the streets. It’s always a joy to see their curiosity in action! At home, I make sure to keep them entertained by playing their favorite games – whether it’s a game of fetch with their preferred toy or a bit of playful chasing around the living room.

Pet lover
Pet care experience
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.

Reviews


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!

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!
