Hey there! My name is Ayaka and I'm ready to welcome your pet with open arms. My priorities when pet setting, especially with dogs, is maintaining pet health, facilitating exercise, and most importantly, communicating with you through pictures, dance videos, and periodic updates. I understand that it can be hard to leave your fur babies with a complete stranger, so I want to gain your trust as well as your animals' and take care of your fur babies as my own. Unfortunately, I have had to put down my own animal, so I certainly understand and know pets are more than just animals. Prior to dog sitting, I would like to discuss the following topics with you: - How the dog reacts with other dogs (other breeds or sizes) - Dietary restrictions, any medical issues (allergies, administer medicine, sensitive paws to heat/cold) - Their temperament with people (men, women, children, large groups of people) Aside from animals, I have over 15 years of paid experience in babysitting, tutoring, and working as a life coach. By day, I work as an Occupational Therapist. If I'm not working, I'm usually hiking, spending time with friends, or trying something new (cuisine, sport, hobby, etc).
