A Buddy for Every Pet

I’ve been surrounded by dogs and dog lovers my entire life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. Growing up, my family had Akitas, Boston Terriers, Bulldogs, Poodles, Rottweilers, Mastiffs, and now two adorable Poodle mixes. From energetic puppies to gentle senior dogs, and from tiny companions to giant breeds, I’m pretty comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. As a student living away from home, I really miss being around my own dogs. Spending time with other people’s pets has become one of my favorite ways to fill that gap, and nothing makes me happier than giving them the same love, attention, and care I’d give my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just a calm companion, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m also happy to accommodate special routines, medications, dietary needs, or any other requests to help keep your pet happy and comfortable. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend!

Hikari was great! Great communication and the place was left just as clean, if not cleaner than when she arrived. Would recommend!

Cali was instantly comfortable with Hikari and I could tell that she had a great time! Having a care option for Cali that she truly enjoys is everything and I will definitely work with Hikari again. Highly recommend!!

Hikari is an amazing dog walker/taker. She is always on time and makes sure that my dog is well taken care of and happy. Overall, I would give her a 10/10.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs food or health wise so I can accommodate as best I can. I grew up with dogs who I would spend every weekend making his food from scratch so I understand if your dog needs some extra love and care.
