Compassionate and Reliable Care

Pet care experience

In addition to caring for my own beloved dogs in the past, I have extensive hands-on experience as a dog handler and groomer at OC Animal Care, where I’ve worked with a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My commitment and passion were recognized when I was honored as Volunteer of the Month. Currently, I don’t have a dog of my own, which many pet owners find reassuring—there’s no need to worry about compatibility with another dog. I care for one dog at a time, allowing me to offer dedicated, undivided attention to your pet.  I provide gentle, one-on-one care tailored to each dog’s unique needs, always focusing on their comfort, safety, and well-being. I use kind, positive communication to help every dog feel secure and seen. I go above and beyond to ensure that every dog feels as safe and comfortable as possible while in my care. I’m a true animal lover at heart, and it brings me deep joy to connect with both dogs and cats. It’s more than a job—it’s my calling.

Naoko took wonderful care of our dog during our vacation. This was his first long-term boarding, and he clearly had a great time. She sent us videos and photos throughout the stay, and even bought him new toys when he broke his original ones. We’re so grateful for her!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Oliver had an amazing time with Naoko! It usually takes him a little bit of time to warm up to people but he took to her and her sons very quickly! She was very responsive and sent so many pics/vids as updates. I felt really comfortable leaving Oliver with her and will definitely be rebooking in the future!

Fantastic fantastic!! Joy did soooo well with Naoko! She updated me several times a day and kept me in the loop! Great communicator and wonderful with pets. I would absolutely ask Naoko for another babysitting booking. No complaints !

Naoko was so kind and met me and my pup the day before at her house. She was diligent about getting all the information on my pup and her likes and dislikes. She sent me lots of videos and pictures and was super kind to cosie who has been very stressed lately.
