Biography
Professional Pet Sitter/Owner of TPS
Yasushi Jay Takizawa (Taki)
I have always had a deep love for animals, and caring for them is truly my passion. I have been a professional pet sitter since 2017, with a lifetime of experience caring for pets of all kinds. Whether it’s walking your woof (dog), feeding your meow (cat), or providing attentive care while you’re away, I am committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care.
I speak fluent tail wags, happy zoomies, slow sniff walks, and quiet cat stares. I understand sensitive tummies, shy hearts, senior naps, and pets who just need someone patient to site beside them.
Whether you're a dog who adventures, a cat who prefers gentle company, or a fur baby who just needs consistency and kindness, I've got you.
