I work from home as a professor and live a very active lifestyle, including daily walks, weekly hikes, and bike rides, where my very active fur baby (may he rest in power) loved the activity and exploration. I am a huge fan of giving belly rubs to furry friends, as well as having company during my walks and hikes. Your dog will get filtered water, plenty of love and belly rubs, on leash walks & hikes, and on-time and appropriate meals.

Information Kiyomi T. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, what types of treats they can eat, how they relate to other dogs, and what the dog's physical activity and potty break needs are. Also, I would like to ensure that your pet is up to date on their vaccines and are using flea control.

A typical day

I walk the dogs that I sit at least 3 times per day for at least 30 minutes, with 1 walk being at least one hour. After the morning walk, your pup can bask in the sun outside or curl up on the couch or in a bed in my office as I work. I often give rubs and play with the pups during my work breaks, which we both enjoy!

Pet care experience

I am excellent with dogs, perceptive to their needs, very active when walking, and consistently great at training our furry friends. Have taken care of dogs (who are part of our family) for over 40 years, and know the ins- and outs-. I am also experienced in administering any medication, as my fur baby had leukemia for the last year of his life. Also, I have a knack for taking the cutest dog pics and will make sure to keep your mind at ease while I am watching over your fur baby with plenty of photos of them having fun.

Kiyomi took such good care of our two dogs while our family was on vacation that we were able to truly enjoy our vacation without worrying about anything. Our lucky dogs got more walks than they get with us on a normal basis, and she even did some light training or reinforcement of training and games with them to keep their interest up. She sent batches pf photos daily with an update of what they did that day which our kids loved since they missed the dogs so much. And our dogs looked so happy and relaxed in the photos - I could tell they were very comfortable with Kiyomi. Would definitely rebook Kiyomi the next time we are out of town.

Kiyomi is wonderful! My dog had tons of fun staying with her. Kiyomi took my dog on lots of walks and hikes, and sent great update photos during the entire stay. I was never worried about my dog being in a new place for her first stay with Kiyomi. She is super responsive and I will definitely book her again in the future.

Frances loved staying with Kiyomi while I went to the Chargers game! She was well taken care of and so happy.

We’ve recently been nervous to leave our pup behind after some bad experiences with friends and family. So couldn’t have been happier to find Kiyomi who went above and beyond to make sure our dog Zelda was taken care of and well loved while we were away. We got regular updates and felt totally reassured that she was in the very best of hands. Highly recommended!
