I currently work part-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule during the week. I'm generally available between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with your pup. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I enjoy spending my day staying active and giving dogs the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve.

About Yukiko I.

Dog skills

5 years of experience

Safety, trust & environment

I am dependable, attentive, and respectful of both pets and their owners' homes. I will carefully follow your instructions regarding walks, feeding, medications, routines, and any special needs your dog may have. I believe consistency and trust are important, and I'll do everything I can to make your pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care.

Information Yukiko I. would like to know about your pet

I'd love to know anything that makes your dog unique! Please let me know about any special needs, personality quirks, routines, favorite activities, or things they'd rather avoid. My goal is to keep your pup happy, comfortable, and stress-free while they're in my care. 🐾

A typical day

I love taking dogs on walks where they can stop and sniff to their heart's content. Exploring the world through their nose is one of the best parts of a walk! I also enjoy playing fetch, tug-of-war, and other games that help dogs burn energy and have fun. Just as importantly, I'm happy to simply hang out and provide companionship. Whether your pup is full of energy and ready for adventure or prefers a slower pace and some quality cuddle time, I'm happy to meet them where they're at.

Your Dog's New Best Friend

Pet care experience

I moved around a lot as a child, so I never had a dog of my own growing up. That didn't stop me from finding every opportunity to spend time with dogs, though. I made friends with every dog in the neighborhood and loved joining in on walks, games, and playtime whenever I got the chance. Today, I volunteer with local shelters to walk their dogs, and I regularly help an elderly friend care for and walk her dog as well. Dogs have always seemed to gravitate toward me, and when they meet me, they usually decide I've been professionally trained in tummy rubs. 😊 I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy while we're together. Whether it's a long walk, playtime, or just some extra attention and affection, I'll treat your dog like they're my own.

I love how kind and patient Yukiko is with my two rescue dogs. The younger one is a total "pandemic pup" with anxiety issues and it's hard to win her trust even with treats. Meanwhile, the older one is an attention hog who gets overexcited! Yukiko knew just what to do, and in no time she had them both feeling safe and secure. My dogs love their "auntie"! 10/10!

Yukiko has walked my Lakeland terrier countless times. When she comes in, my dog, Star, is so excited to see her. She loves to walk with Yukiko Star can be stubborn and strong for a small dog, but Yukiko provides steady guidance and the walks are safe and fun. I have known Yukiko for a long time. She is extremely friendly, smart and reliable. I completely trust my dog and property with her and will continue to do so. You would be gaining a valuable employee with Yukiko.
