Pet care experience

Experience: My 23-year-old turtle and 14-year-old cat are currently living with my parents in the quiet suburbs. Especially after my other 2 senior cats passed, I’m missing my animal companions! Throughout my college years, I was my professor’s go-to pet sitter because I am comfortable doing everything from socializing feral cats and syringe-feeding senior cats, to carrying grumpy old 50-pound-dogs when they don’t want to climb stairs! I love quiet shy pets; stinky sleepy seniors, and everything in-between. My boyfriend has had pet dogs all his life, from malamutes to chihuahuas. Between the 2 of us, we have the whole cat & dog spectrum covered! Skills: We have native fluency in English, Spanish, and Japanese. *I prioritize the safety of your pets, of course. But I also want you to feel safe and comfortable hiring us! We’ll always respect your pronouns; our building has ramp/elevator access; and I’m happy to answer any questions. We do not tolerate hate or discrimination of any kind.

Haruko did an amazing job taking care of our 4 month old puppy over the weekend. She asked plenty of questions about how to care for our pup’s specific needs and did them all. Haruko sent pictures and updates everyday. But most importantly, Haruko has great energy and a very caring disposition. In addition, Haruko’s boyfriend was totally hands on which makes for an ideal situation when you don’t want your dog to be alone. He was there for our dog when Haruko was at work. I would definitely call her again and recommend her services to anyone I know. Thanks again!

Haruko and her boyfriend took great care of my pup! They texted tons of pictures and they were very flexible with my timing. Thanks again!

Information Haruko H. would like to know about your pet

Please let us know your dog’s: -food/bathroom routine? -energy level? -any triggers or quirks (and how to calm them) We love all funky-looking and funky-smelling dogs, but would be so pumped to care for pugs, frenchies, pit bulls, and staffordshire bull terriers! I also have experience raising litters of feral kittens my entire life! I would love to care for some kittens again!

A typical day

Exercise & Play, Rest & Relaxation! -We’ll take your dog on a nice stroll or jog, whatever is most suitable for your dog! If there’s a usual spot you like to go in the neighborhood, I am happy to go there too :) -My apartment is large enough for a small-medium-sized dog to play fetch in. -Calm down time for pets while they’re in a new place is important, too. So I sit with dogs and comfort them by giving them lots of pets and helping them take a nap, or get ready for bedtime. -What do your pets like to do? I’d love to accommodate their routines as well! If your pet is more shy, or likes to be alone, I can respect their boundaries and still keep an eye on them. They are welcome to go from the spacious living room to my separate, more private large bedroom whenever they please. Please let me know if I should minimize interactions for your pet with other people or pets due to age, illness, or temperament. I’m happy to accommodate. My promise: -I will only ever have 1 pet in my apartment at any time, unless you have a bonded pair that you’d like to board with me—that’s totally fine! -The pet will never be left alone. Not even if I just need to pick up laundry or delivery! Me or my boyfriend will always be there to supervise and ensure safety. If your pet prefers privacy, we have a large bedroom as well, so they can walk freely to whichever space they choose.
