Pet care experience

Dog lover in Dog paradise!

Hi everyone! My name is Yu (yes, pronounced exactly like "You"!). Originally from Japan, I bring that classic Japanese dedication and hard-working spirit to everything I do—especially when it comes to dog care! Dogs are my absolute passion, and my heart completely melts whenever I'm around them. I don't own a dog of my own right now, but I live with a sweet housemate who has a friendly dog. This means our home is already set up perfectly for a pup, and your dog will have a furry friend to hang out with if they like company! I am so excited to be a dedicated temporary "mommy" (or cool auntie!) for your dog and treat them like royalty. What I promise: • Constant supervision and a safe, secure environment. • Lots of playtime, walks, and tailored care based on your dog's routine. • Regular photo/video updates so you can have total peace of mind. Looking forward to meeting your sweet pup soon! 🎁 Save $20 on your first booking! Use code YUR04253 or visit: https://www.rover.com/sit/yur04253

Doggy Day Care • Aug 01, 2025

Yu took amazing care of Cleo as if she were her own! She sent me regular updates and took her to the park to play fetch and on walks. Cleo was very tired and happy when I picked her up!

Yu is fantastic! She takes my dog on adventures and gives him plenty of exercise. She updates frequently with cute photos and so I see my dog having a blast with her. She is very friendly and professional. I can’t say enough great things about Yu!

Yu is absolutely the best dog sitter I have ever met! Taking care of dogs is her full-time job, so she spends a lot of quality time with my dog when he stays with her and her family. She doesn’t walk, she takes my dog on exciting adventures and hikes. She really makes him a part of her family. I always know he is in the best care when I leave him with her. Yu Provides frequent updates with pictures and videos. She communicates well and responds to messages quickly. She is always professional. I can’t recommend Yu highly enough. She is truly fantastic!

Schedule

i'm currently not working. so i have plenty of time to play with your pups! my partner can look after your pups while i'm away too. our routine is : in the morning(7am) and evening(6pm) we walk for 15-20min, during the day(11am-2pm) for 1-2h, and before bed quick potty break(10pm). we can easily adjust time schedule for your dogs. when we go out we take your doggies as many as possible, so more than 4times a day is guarantee. i can board them pretty much any days. *your doggies must be ok with being alone max for3h sometimes when we can't take them out with us. if your dog bark or whine more than necessary, our town house is not good fit for them. (it's more for quiet neighbors)
