Animals are my truest passion!

Hi! My name is Kyoko, Nice to meet you! I’ve recently gone remote 🥳 — that’s why I am back on Rover after a long pause (if you were wondering) I always lived with a dog growing up and I know how much they can mean to a person. They've shaped me to be the person I am today and I want to return the favor to dogs everywhere; so let me care for your best friend and family member. I majored in Biology in University and currently volunteer at the Lincoln Park Zoo to continue my pursuit of conservation and spreading love and knowledge to everyday people. I also love taking photographs so be certain I will be sending you the best photos I take of your furry best friend. I understand how serious it is to trust someone to take care of your loved ones — if you would like to meet me ahead of time, please feel free to let me know and I can come by free of charge. You can choose to book me after that!!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Varies between the needs of each home and pet! If there is space to play or if I am allowed to take your dog to the dog park, then I would love to do that once a day (house sitting). In the home, I will be sitting and low energy for the comfort of the dog either playing games, reading books, or watching shows. I love enrichment (for my and for dogs) so I also like to find a way to engage your furry friends within the home. This can range from a game of “search” using hidden treats, teaching or practicing tricks, Kong toys, and of course, typical play!

Kyoko is truly amazing. She takes the best care of our boy Sully. She is extremely communicative and always goes above and beyond to ensure Sully is taken care of and feels loved. 🥰

Kyoko was great with our pup! You can tell she is very knowledgeable and loving of all animals. She took the time to read our pups profile and ask questions tailored to her needs. Definitely recommend
