Pet care experience

Positive, loving & professional

I'm a mother, former teacher, and HUGE animal lover! I’ve been a SPCA & Marin Human Society volunteer, foster parent to rescue dogs for 25+ yrs. I used to work at All Animals Emergency Hospital in SF so understand animal safety and have extensive experience with caring pets and administering medications if needed. I have older children who grew up around animals and who also happen to absolutely love dogs (and all animals). They will often help play and socialize with them if appropriate. I have experience caring for senior dogs, blind dogs and pets with special needs (i.e. medication and specific diet/nutritional requirements). I currently work from home and grateful to have a flexible schedule so I can prioritize caring for your furry friends and take them on walks as much as possible. I work from home and available for pet sitting, walking and boarding. I love to walk/hike be outside (morning, afternoon and evening) and available 7 days a week! I am conveniently located by Marin Country Mart by Larkspur Courts Apartments with amazing dog walking trails, a dog park and pond. Lots of opportunities for socializing with other friendly dogs in the neighborhood.

Sachiko and her kids were great with my big guy! He came back tired and happy. Sachiko was easy to communicate with and sent a number of updates. Would definitely book with her again

Sachiko and family were so good with our dog Lois, and would highly recommend them! We could tell she was getting lots of special attention from the photos & videos shared while we were away. Sachiko made things really easy in terms of communication and coordinating too. We are lucky to have found them, and will be bringing Lois back in a few weeks for her next stay!

Sachiko is a wonderful dog walker and house sitter. She has been walking our 2 sweet big dogs for the last year. She is dependable, professional and very experienced with dog walking. We have also had Sachiko house it and take care of our dogs while we have been away and have always come home to happy doggies!

Schedule

I work from home so can take your pup outside anytime and make sure they get enough exercise and sunshine. I have teenage children who absolutely adore dogs and any furry animal we bring home as they grew up fostering kittens, puppies, rabbits and more!
