10+ yrs of dog care from Japan

Pet care experience

In Japan, I cared for a medium-sized Cavalier King Charles Spaniel for over 10 years, and also looked after small dogs like Miniature Dachshunds for friends and neighbors — including hosting a dog for a full week. Although I’m new to dog sitting and this is my first time offering services in the U.S., I genuinely love spending time with dogs and take pride in providing safe, attentive, and loving care.

Kika was very caring with our small dog who spent a night at her place! She sent us frequent updates and pictures, and she was flexible and responsive with drop off and pick up. Youki seems to have had a great stay with her! I would highly recommend her services.

I’ve known her for many years, and she’s always been someone who truly loves animals—especially dogs. While I didn’t personally see her raising her own dog, I’ve seen her spending time with friends’ dogs in Japan, playing with them and helping out with their care. The way she interacted with them was always gentle, warm, and thoughtful. She’s naturally kind, responsible, and attentive, and I believe she would make any dog feel safe and comfortable, even in a new environment. I have no doubt that she’ll provide loving and careful support for any dog in her care.
