About Kumiko Y.

100% response rate
Usually responds in a few minutes
90% bookings with photo updates
Sends updates with Rover Cards

Skills

25 years of experience
Oral medication administration
Injected medication administration
Senior dog experience
Can provide daily exercise

Safety, trust & environment

I value the trusting relationship with clients and their pets! I change the water for pets several times a day and keep their dishes clean. I can take dogs out every few hours to pee and poo. If your pets are shy and timid, I can keep your pets in a separate room. I have an AC, so your pets will be comfortable throughout summer. Please be assured that my cat is kept in a separate room so there will be no contacts with your dog.

Information Kumiko Y. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there are any special needs or behaviors for taking care of your pets. I'll try to accommodate the best I can.

A typical day

I'll first introduce the pets to my family (my dog or cat), let them sniff the entire house, then play fetch/tug-of-war and try to build relationship with them. Also, depending on the pets' personalities, I can adjust how to approach them.

Pet care experience

I currently have a Shibainu and a indoor cat. I grew up with a Beagle! I love dogs and cats! I'm still learning English. It would be very helpful if you could speak slowly and use simple words. I’m very sorry, but I’m unable to accept visits to high-security apartment buildings or homes that do not have sufficient parking available.

Kumiko was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Nala! From the moment we met her, we felt confident that Nala was in caring and capable hands. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Kumiko genuinely cared about Nala and made sure she was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Nala came home relaxed, healthy, and clearly enjoyed her time with her. We truly appreciate Kumiko’s kindness, reliability, and attention to detail. We would gladly trust her with Nala again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!

What a wonderful photographer, she sent the best pictures of our cat. You could tell our cat was playing and engaged! So heartwarming to see that Stanley was happy and doing just fine! Kumiko even alerted us on her 1st visit that Stanley hadn't gone #2 and updated us on 2n visit (2 days later) that he had gone #2 now that is quality care! We will definitely have Kumiko visit Stanley again and highly recommend her!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
