Pet Masseuse Respectful Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

My name is Hitomi Sarah, originally from Japan, lived in CA over 10years, went to travel the world for 4 years caring pets/house and volunteering in local schools with kids, farms, community around the globe. I love animals, humans, plants and with anything with good heart :) I am experienced many different kinds/sizes of doggies, cats, chicken, fish, lizard, birds, tortoise as well as in different personalities including rescues and traumatized ones ;_; They need calm steady sitters. I have experience in medical/special requirements such as pills, IV, injection, eyedrops, cone, stroller, heat diper, and defecation assistance. I am a respectful and peaceful person to care for your pets and home, and even plants. I have home garden with knowledge. Love nature, beach or just around the neighbor walks. People used to say I am like a doggie always wanting to go for a walk lol I am a certified massage therapist over 10 years and also knowledgeble to give massages to animals to relax and bond with them. They enjoy it :) I naturally have high sense of responsibility. Am always the one to make sure everyone gets home safely. (I dont drink at all so am everyone's designated driver) I pick up poops, won't feed human food, follow instruction, and stay at your home with respect and cleanness. Hope you would consider me for your pet care. I give all my loving care for your pets and home. Note: - Fully Vaccinated+Boosted. - Insured for Pet Care. - My husband is a great helper for my petcare service, so you get us as a team! Emergency Backup, more availability etc

I found Hitomi on Rover 2 years ago, in a desparate search for a babysitter for my cats. My cats are family members, so you can imagine that leaving them doesn't come easily. Hitomi has been a life saver and my cats love her. Hitomi is a Pet Parent's best friend. She sends photos daily, and sometime videos too. She's totally in tune with them, and they luv her (even the worried one). I used her "daily visit" service (she even juggled schedules around to make it happen). Hitomi (or her team member) came in once a day, hung out with the cats to play, turned on the tv and made the house "feel" normal/ish. Of course, the food and liter were also covered. Usually the cats are mad at us when we return (after all - we left them behind). But when Hitomi is with them, they're not mad when we get home. I think they luv their catsitter. I would not be able to travel if it wasn't for Htiomi and this service!

We are very fortunate to have Hitomi and Jorge as our dog sitters. They have taken care of our 2-year-old toy poodle several times already, including a couple of overnight stays that lasted a few days. Hitomi and Jorge kept us informed how our dog was doing with a lot of photos. They tried their best to follow the daily routines even though there were challenges due to rainy days. They allowed our dog to sleep together on the bed and even laundered all the linens before departure! These are the words that describe them: - Trustworthy - Respectful - Punctual - Reliable - Friendly We sincerely appreciate all their work and look forward to more stays in the future. Thank you!

Hitomi spends time me to listen & take note of your pets’ needs. She sends photos of her experiences with your pets, and seems like she puts extreme effort into showing your pets love & attention. After staying at our home, she was very mindful on how she left the condition of the house. We will continue to use Hitomi when we travel.

Hitomi is amazing! Baxter had a great time with her. She is very communicative and flexible since our plans kept changing. We appreciated that Hitomi set up a pre-meeting so Baxter could get more comfortable with her. We also enjoyed the photos she sent throughout the day. We will definitely use Hitomi’s services in the future and recommend her to anyone who needs pet sitting services.
