Safety, trust & environment

Your pet's happiness and well-being are paramount to me. I'm dedicated to establishing a trusting relationship with both you and your furry companions. Creating a safe and nurturing environment is at the core of my pet care philosophy. Rest assured that when your pets are under my care, they are in a loving space where their safety is a top priority. I am committed to ensuring they receive the care and attention they truly deserve. Building trust with both pet parents and their adorable companions is key to fostering a positive and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.

Information Tomoko I. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know about your pet’s personality, typical behavior, diet, and any medications they may need. For medication and special food preparation, I would appreciate written instructions. If you have any other special requests, a checklist of what you would like me to do would also be helpful. This will help me follow your instructions carefully, make sure everything is done properly, and ensure that your pets are well taken care of.

A typical day

Every dog and cat is different. If your dog or cat loves to play or be petted, I’ll be happy to do that. Some dogs and cats prefer quiet time, and I’m happy to respect that, too. During our meet and greet, I look forward to learning about what your pets love to do so they can have the best possible time with me.

Pet care experience

Hello fellow pet lovers! I'm an animal enthusiast and recent empty nester eager to fill my days with furry companionship. Having grown up surrounded by the love of dogs and cats, I currently share my home with two adorable feline friends. Throughout the years, I've extended my care to the pets of friends and neighbors, treating each one as if they were my own. Now that my kids have flown the nest, I find myself with more time on my hands, and what better way to spend it than doing what I love most—caring for animals! I'm a devoted pet parent with a genuine passion for creating a nurturing environment for your furry family members. Rest assured, I bring reliability, punctuality, and a friendly demeanor to every pet-sitting opportunity. Your pets will not only receive top-notch care but also plenty of love and attention. Whether it's playtime, walks, or simply some cozy companionship, I'm here to cater to your pet's unique needs. Let's ensure your pets have a pawsitively delightful experience in my care! 🐶🐾🐱

Thank you so much Tomo. Losing our dog sitter right before our trip really stressed us out. Thank God we found you to step in on such short notice. Bronson & Penny have a new forever friend in you. The whole family is so grateful for your thoughtful care and positive spirit. Upon our return, Penny & Bronson were happy to see us, but were clearly loved and taken care of in our absence. And thank you for following all of our quirky instructions and being such a great communicator. You are the best!!!!

I asked Tomoko to care of my 17-year-old senior dog for two days drop in visit service. She took excellent care of my dog ​​and provided detailed reports on his food intake, bowel movements, urination, and overall condition. She is a wonderful pet sitter.

Tomoko was so great as a caregiver and walker for our cavapoo while we were out of town.

Tomoko was a great pet sitter for my senior cat. She is very kind, generous, and accommodating, and my cat was genuinely cared for while i was away. She sent very detailed updates and took great pictures. I felt so safe that my cat was in her capable hands and I will gladly book her services again next time.
