Safety, trust & environment

I believe every dog deserves a walk that matches their needs. I thoughtfully choose safe paths based on their age and health, making sure they feel happy and cared for.

Information Yayoi B. would like to know about your pet

• Dog’s Name and Breed What’s your dog’s name and breed? • Age and Health Conditions How old is your dog? Does your dog have any medical conditions or physical limitations I should know about? • Temperament and Behavior Is your dog friendly with other dogs and people? Are there any behavioral issues I should be aware of? • Leash and Equipment Preferences Do you have a preferred leash, harness, or collar I should use? • Feeding and Treats Can I give your dog treats during the walk? Are there any allergies or dietary restrictions? • Bathroom Habits How often does your dog usually go potty? Should I pick up after them, and where should I dispose of waste? • Emergency Contact Info Who should I contact in case of an emergency? • Duration and Route Preferences How long would you like the walk to be? Do you have a preferred route or places to avoid? • Commands and Training Cues Are there any commands your dog responds to? (‘sit’, ‘stay’, ‘heel’) • Other Special Instructions Is there anything else I should know to make the walk safe and enjoyable for your dog?

A typical day

When dog walking, keeping pets happy, safe, and stimulated is key. Here are some fun activities I’d include to make their day tail-waggingly awesome. • Adventure Walks Exploring new trails, parks, or neighborhoods to keep things exciting and sniff-worthy. • Training Games Practicing basic commands like “sit,” “stay,” or “come” with treats and praise.

Certified Dog trainer by the JKC.

Pet care experience

Certified dog trainer by the Japan Kennel Club with 20 years of experience. With a strong background in canine care and training, I served as a teaching assistant in dog trainer programs at a vocational school in Japan, where I managed a wide range of dogs. I also earned a certificate after completing the dog behaviorist program in Japan, which deepened my understanding of canine psychology and behavior. I am also a lifelong dog lover with personal experience raising dogs, including caring for senior dogs. This hands-on experience has given me a deeper appreciation for the emotional and physical needs of dogs at every stage of life.

I highly recommend Yayoi as a dog sitter. She is incredibly kind, patient, and attentive to every detail of my dog’s needs. She always communicates clearly, gives me regular updates, and treats my dog with genuine love and care. Every time I come home, I can see how happy and well-cared-for my dog is. It’s such a relief to know my pet is in such trustworthy and gentle hands.

We can’t recommend Yayoi B. enough! She took wonderful care of our two pups, Hinata (our sweet Maltipoo) and Naruto (our playful Maltese), and treated them like her own. They absolutely loved their walks with her, and she went above and beyond by sending us amazing pictures throughout their time together—each one showing just how happy and well-loved they were. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in the best hands in San Diego. Yayoi is caring, professional, and truly the best sitter you could ask for!
