Pet care experience

Animal lover you can trust

I grew up with pets and have about 10 years of experience caring for them as part of my family. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I bring that same care to every pet I look after. Coming from Japan, I approach pet care and your home with a detail-oriented, respectful mindset — I follow instructions closely, keep to your pet’s usual routine, and always leave your home exactly as I found it. Small things matter to me. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member. I will make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide in-home visits only to ensure pets remain in a familiar and low-stress environment. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and prioritize consistency with the pet’s usual routine. During every visit, I focus on attentive care and maintaining a calm, reliable presence.

I highly recommend Ryota as a pet caregiver. He grew up with a dog and was actively involved in caring for it for over 10 years, giving him solid experience and knowledge of everyday pet care and responsibility. What truly sets Ryota apart is his genuine love for animals. He is kind, patient, and treats every animal with the same care and attention he would give his own pet. Whether it's a dog, cat, or any other animal, their well-being is always his top priority. He absolutely loves animals and naturally connects with them. Pets tend to feel comfortable around him because of his calm, caring, and gentle personality. In addition, Ryota works from home full-time, which allows him to be highly flexible and available throughout the day. Pet owners can feel confident knowing that their pets will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and care. He is dependable, trustworthy, and someone I would wholeheartedly trust with any pet.

I work fully remotely, which gives me a flexible daily schedule. This allows me to accommodate pet care visits on both weekdays and weekends, depending on the owner’s needs. I can adjust timing easily for both regular and occasional bookings.

The more I know about your pet, the better care I can give — so before our first visit, it helps to know things like: • Any medical conditions, medications, or allergies • How they react to other dogs, strangers, or noises on walks • Their usual routine — feeding times, walk length, bathroom habits • Any behaviors to watch for, like pulling on the leash, resource guarding, or flight risk at the door • What they love (favorite games, treats) and anything that stresses them out If your pet is a senior or has special needs, I’m especially attentive to that — just let me know how I can keep them safe and comfortable.
