Dogs are free to roam in kitchen/living room area and will have access to unlimited water. Treats will depend on what permission I get from each pawrent. They will never be alone with my kids without any adult supervision as I know how rough kids can be. My kids are taught, but are still too young, so I will never leave them alone with any dogs. I never left them alone with my senior girl even when she became weak and ill with her last few months of her life.

Information Narumi N. would like to know about your pet

Temperament of each dog. Personality of each dog. Eating/potty habits of each dog. Usual firmness and color of their poop (yes, this becomes important as it differs depending on their diet). Do they do good at dog parks? Are they vocal? (i.e. do they bark when someone is always at the door or knocks on the door?) Are they house trained? Any allergies? Any medical record I need to know just in case of emergency.

A typical day

Long walks around the neighborhood, take them to the dog park (if not raining or wet) and let them run around and mingle, sunbathing in courtyard (or cooling down), veggie out with the kids in the living room, lots of hugs and treats

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs since I was a child. I grew up with Shiba Inus, so I know very well about them. I currently don't have any pets as my girl passed away from old age last year and haven't gotten a new furbaby since she passed. I have been a professional dog walker/boarder/care taker for 5 years before pandemic and had many recurring clients when I was in the Bay area. I love walking them and always give 1 on 1 attention. Some of the compliments I get all the time are how detailed my updates are with many pictures and videos. I personally love to take many pictures and videos of my pets and kids, so I just take a bunch when I walk them or have them over my place. I always make sure they have water (iced water when it gets hot) before I leave with treats (unless pawrents say otherwise). I always update with their potty details too as I know as a pawrent that you want to make sure your furbaby is doing well. If I feel something is wrong, I immediately contact the pawrent. If they made a mess, I try to clean up the best I can before leaving as I know how tiring that can be unless told otherwise. Another compliment I get is how well I am with senior dogs or dogs with medical needs. The dog I grew up with was with me since he was 3mo old until he passed (15.5yrs old). He had many health complications the last 3yrs of his life that I learned how to give every medicine that you can think of including eye meds, pills, syringes, etc. I always have pill pockets, so just in case they don't want the meds in their food, I can always wrap with pill pockets instead. I am very keen, so once I get to know your furbaby, I will be able to see any changes or sense a difference and will let you know. Since my dog was very quiet, we missed a lot of signs from him although I had a doubt as a kid. I don't want that happening to anybody or any dogs. I am also certified in pet first aid and pet cpr. I take pride in as a caretaker and love to be your furbaby's new buddy to hang out with!

Narumi was amazing. She kept the boys on routine and was able to give Bandit his medicine (no small feat). They stayed engaged, exercised, and she gave plenty of updates. Thank you again Narumi!

Narumi was the perfect match for our puppy. She kept updating us frequently with texts, pictures and videos of our dog which we appreciated. We were worried about our dog as she's very shy but Narumi did her magic!
