Safety, trust & environment

I provide a calm, loving, and pet-friendly environment where your dog can feel safe and at home. I live in a pet-welcoming apartment right across from Central Park, so your pup will enjoy regular walks, fresh air, and a nice balance of play and rest. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and bed if that’s what they’re used to. I want them to feel completely comfortable and cared for. I’m happy to care for multiple dogs at a time, as long as their personalities are compatible, and I always take time to help each dog feel secure, especially if they’re shy or new to the space. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your routines and preferences closely to keep things familiar for your dog. I’m respectful, tidy, and always communicate regularly with updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands.

Information Yoko T. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know if your pet has any specific needs or behaviors so I can accommodate them properly. Living right next to a big park allows for great outdoor activities, but I want to ensure your pet is comfortable with that environment. My flexible schedule also means I can spend quality time with pets and ensure they’re well-cared for while I’m with them.

A typical day

I really enjoy taking daily walks, especially since I live right in front of Central Park. It’s so convenient to step outside and enjoy the fresh air and play in the nature multiple times a day. Since I work from home part-time, I have the flexibility to give my pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. These daily routines help me stay active and keep your pets happy and healthy.

Trusted fur whisper from Japan 🇯🇵

Pet care experience

(Booking acceptable Jun -Aug) Hi Pasadena fur parents 💛 I’m Yoko, originally from Japan and now living in Pasadena after spending the last few years in Naples, Italy. As a Navy officer’s wife, I’ve been part of close-knit communities where I became the go-to dog walker and sitter for both American and local families. My husband, MD, is also a huge dog lover, and together we’re excited to share our home and give plenty of love to the dogs we care for. People often call me an animal whisperer, I naturally connect with dogs of all personalities, even the shy or reactive ones. I genuinely love animals and treat every pup like part of my family. Whether it’s caring for energetic puppies or giving gentle attention to senior dogs, I approach each one with patience, affection, and respect for their unique needs. I work from home, so your pup will have plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I’m also in the process of applying to volunteer at the Pasadena Humane Society to continue learning and giving back to the animal community. Living right in front of Central Park means your dog gets plenty of fresh air, sunshine, and space to explore. Whether you prefer sitting at your place, mine, or just need a reliable walker, I’m flexible and happy to help. Let’s make your dog’s day a little brighter! I’d love to be your trusted new fur friend! 🐕‍🦺🐕🦮🐩🤍

Yoko watched my dog at my office, and she was absolutely wonderful. She provided daytime dog-sitting for Mochi and made her feel completely comfortable right away. Yoko is super sweet, reliable, and very easy to work with. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about your pup and gives you peace of mind while you’re away, Yoko is fantastic. Mochi and I are so grateful we found her! 🐾💛

Yoko was the perfect fit for Chadwick for the day and night. The big guy took to her and her husband almost immediately, and they treated him like their own doggie. I really enjoyed the picture updates that showed our buddy having a good time. I'd absolutely trust our doggie with Yoko again.

Yoko did a 3-night overnight with my 1 year old cocker spaniel Bogey. He had never been away from me so I was nervous but Yoko was so sweet and provided lots of pictures and updates. Additionally he had a cone on post-surgery and she was able to accommodate some additional care instructions. I will definitely be using her in the future!!

Yoko provided daytime dog sitting at her apartment for two consecutive weeks. Our small dog quickly bonded with Yoko and made clear she looked forward to her daily visits. Yoko is highly conscientious, warm, and easy to work with. We look forward to booking additional time with her for our dog.
