At twelve, my family welcomed a Pembroke Welsh Corgi, and we grew up side by side for ten years — morning walks, slow winter mornings when his joints ached, and the quiet final chapter. That dog taught me the single most important thing about pet care: pay close attention to both the body and the feelings. He's gone now, but those lessons are still the foundation of how I look after your animals. I now share my home with my cat, so reading both dogs and cats comes naturally to me. Walks are my favorite part of the job. A leash-free dog run is a five-minute walk from my house, and at home there's a roughly 50㎡ grassy garden your pet can run, sniff, and stretch out on. I pace every walk to the weather, the ground, and your dog's age and energy — seniors, shy pups, and toy breeds are all warmly welcome. For context: I worked as a hospital pharmacist in Japan. That career shaped me into someone careful, thorough, and dependable — exactly the kind of person I'd trust with my own family member. Pets I happily care for: small to medium-sized dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters and other small furries, and well-matched pairs of small dogs. Not the best fit for: extra-large dogs solo, multiple large dogs at the same time, dogs with a bite history, or pets with very severe separation anxiety — happy to chat case by case. My home: a single-family home in a quiet neighborhood, smoke-free, shoe-free indoors, air-purified, with secured yard fencing. Services: drop-in visits (30–45 min), dog walks (60 min+), and boarding or day care at my home. Availability: within a 20-minute bike ride of my home. Early mornings, evenings, and longer stays are flexible — just send me a message. Trial visits and meet-and-greets are warmly welcomed. Feel free to reach out anytime.
