Would highly recommend Jay (Taki) for anyone who needs their pet looked after in Tokyo. He is fluent in Japanese and English. He really is so caring towards my puppy who is only 13 weeks old. Jay (Taki) is very responsive, organized and reliable. I will continue to count on Jay (Taki) to look after my fur baby!

Momotaro
(Holland Lop)
I have had many pet sitters over the years in many counties, but no one compares to the kindness and diligence that Taki offers at TPS!
While we were away, Taki sent messages before, during, and after the visit with photos. It was so fun to see how our rabbit Momotaro was interacting with him, and put our worries of leaving our rabbit alone for the first time at ease.
Even from just looking at the TPS Instagram page, you can tell how much Taki cares about his client’s pets and their happiness.
After a very successful first-time experience leaving Momotaro with Taki, I can now look forward to going away from home more often without worry.
Thank you Taki!

Arare & Cha Cha
(Toy Poodle)
10才のトイプードルのママです。 今年に入って2頭飼いをはじめ、その難しさに悩んでたところ、Taki Pet Sitterさんとご縁を頂きました。 ペットの心のケアをやって頂いたところ、なんと飼い主の私の心のケアにまで至りました！ 少し複雑な環境にいたため、ペットに「ごめんね」&「私が守るからね」の言葉を使ってたのですが、それは不要とのこと。 他にもいろいろアドバイスを頂きました。 対談してもらった後、私の心が軽くなって、そしたらペットまでいつもの笑顔になって生き生きしてきました。 セッションを受けて本当に良かったです。 Takiさん、ありがとうございました！！
Translated: I'm a 10-year-old toy poodle’s mom. Starting this year i started to take care of two dogs. and when I was worried about their relationship. I was recommended by a friend to be connect with Taki Pet Sitter. Not only did he helped me with solving my worries, but he also took care of my feelings towards dogs heart! Since I am in a slightly complicated environment, I used the words "I'm sorry" & "I will protect" for my pet, but that was unnecessary. I also received various other advice. After having a conversation, my heart became lighter, and even my pet smiled and came alive. It was really nice to have the session. Thank you, Taki!!

Pao
(Mixed Breed)
Taki-san came recommended in a Facebook group and was a fantastic find, after going through two other previous people who tried to help with my somewhat hyperactive puppy, Pao. Pao just turned one-and-a-half and immediately took to Taki-san.
Taki-san is bilingual, and spent a lot of time at our first meeting bonding with Pao, and getting to understand his nature. He is patient, caring, concerned about Pao's well-being, and obviously loves dogs. He is also very strong. After discussing our requirements we took a long walk together, at which time he suggested some useful steps to take to keep Pao (who is good at heart, but extremely responsive to motorbikes) under better control.
So far Taki-san has visited us twice, is coming again next week, and will be doing dog walking for Pao during the Olympics and my fall trip to the U.S. I hope we have a long-term relationship and that we will be able to call on him at other times as well. Both my partner and I felt an immediate sense of trust in Taki-san.
Oh - he's apparently also a cleaning nut. What more can you ask for?

Lili'i
(Miniature Dachshund)
Taki has been great with my dog, Lili’i. She never walks with someone new but she went for a walk with him even from day1!!
Taki also followed my very precise request about her walk, her toilet sheet, and her snacks. ( I organize and stick to my own precise way hence it is always hard for me to find someone I can rely on ).
Through all the photos Taki sent me(which was a lot!) , it was clear that even my little picky grumpy dog had a fun walk and she was able to open up herself and felt safe. (I am still very impressed that she went for a walk with someone new on the first day!) He genuinely loves interacting with animals and spent whole 1hr interacting and playing with her.
I also appreciate that his prompt response and close communications. I was able to have first meeting and were able to find help in couple of days.
I highly recommend Taki to anyone who is having hard time to find a dog sitter who you and your dog can trust to take care of your dog and let him/ her a time of the day! He will make your day and your dog’s day!

Leeloo
(Schnoodle)
Taki has been amazing with my dog Leeloo. She loves her daily walks with him and looks forward to seeing him everyday. Taki was very responsive to my initial inquiry and was able to accommodate me despite the short notice. It is clear that he truly loves animals and enjoys spending time with them. I love the daily pictures and videos he sends of them from her walks. They really help to brighten my work day! I highly recommend Taki to anyone who is looking for a reliable, professional, and friendly dog sitter/walker. Leeloo is looking forward to many more future walks with him!

Mona & Tesla
(Russian Blue)
My family and I went out of town for two nights. We decided to ask Taki from Taki's Pet Sitter to stay with our two 5 month old kittens. They are two extremely shy kittens. Taki was patient and understanding. While we were gone he would frequently send us updated and managed to get the kittens to interact with him. We came back to two healthy kittens and a clean house. Will use Taki again.

(American Curl)
Taki was a really good surprise. He is a very easy going person. Super responsive and reliable. He really cares about his work. I was so glad to find him. He and my cat became best friends pretty quickly. I recommend Taki for anyone for sure. Whenever I need it, I’ll definitely call Taki. He kept me updated everyday sending pictures and videos. It was a very good experience. Thanks so much for taking so good care of Rams, Taki. All the best.

He absolutely nailed it! Our fur baby was fed by hand (both dry food and milk), walked frequently, and otherwise shown tons of love and care. He also sent endless adorable pictures to keep us up to date and even cleaned the house! Needless to say, we’re impressed.

Toshi
(Golden Retriever)
Taki is an one of a kind dog sitter. He took incredible care of our puppy when we left for a few days vacation. We were all very apprehensive as it was the very first time for us. Taki kept us appraised every single day, sending many pictures and videos as well as providing us with much needed advice. Taki is a very calm and composed person. Our puppy seemed in awe of him 😊

Gaspard
(Miniature Schnauzer)
Taki was a god-saver, taking care of my dog at home, where he was most comfortable and less stressed for a sudden long trip outside the city. Taki sent us regular updates and photos of our dog and left the house very clean. We were not keen on putting our dog in a pet 'hotel' that just put dogs in cages and let them out twice a day. Our dog was so relaxed when we got home, it seemed he had been on holiday rather than us.

Hobbes

Our dog Hobbes has separation anxiety so we can't leave him alone -- Taki responded to our last minute request and when I got home, our dog was relaxed and happy. Taki is an excellent and professional pet sitter.

Taki-san was recommended by a friend and I totally understand why; he provides a great service and goes the extra mile for you. My cat loves him, Taki-san takes such good care of him and gives him tonnes of attention, I think my cat was a little disappointed that I came home!

Kofi & Ban
(Burmese Cats)
Taki looked after our two cats while we were away for four nights. He did an incredible job, and we could enjoy our holiday knowing they were in good hands. Before we left, he did a thorough orientation to get to know the cats and house. While we were away, his communication was excellent, and he sent adorable updates. He even checked in to make sure we were happy on our return. We'll definitely be using Taki's service again and would recommend him to anyone who wants the security and comfort of knowing their pets are with a professional.

Xena
(Persian Cat)
We hired Taki to watch our Persian cat, Xena, for a little over a week. She has a special food requirement, which he was able to take care of no problem. He sent us photos and updates on her bowel movements, how she was eating, and how active she was, every day. It was a wonderful peace of mind to know there was someone there for her to bond with, and watching her warm up to him through the photos day after day was really awesome. He was very communicative, answered all questions, and responded quickly, even though we were in a different time zone for the duration. I would definitely recommend Taki for any of your petsitting needs, and we will certainly be using his services again.
As a side note: Taki also did some amazing cleaning on our apartment while he was here, which was such an awesome thing to see. I definitely came home feeling relaxed and happy, and I could tell my cat was doing very well, also.
Thanks so much, Taki! You're a lifesaver!

TAKIにいつもお世話になってます！
うちはアビシニアンですが、嫌いな人にはまったく懐かないし、出張で留守にすると怒ってトイレの外にたくさん悪さをします。でも、TAKIが来た時は、食欲も旺盛で、普段よりたくさん食べますし、とてもハッピー❣️
あと素晴らしいのは、うちが綺麗になってます。ただのキャットシッターさんではなくて、プラスのサービスをしてくれます。出張が心配ではなくなりました。
TAKIありがとう‼️

Momo
(Miniature Dachshund)
私はモモと二人暮らしなので、仕事の後に予定をなかなか入れられなかったりしていたのですが、タキさんに頼んでみて大変助かりました。 タキさんはお散歩もたくさんしてくれるし、こちらの要望を細かく確認してくれ、いつも私がモモにしているように接してくれました。 家に帰るとモモも満足げな様子だったのでとても安心しました。更に家の中も片付いていて、本当に満足できるサービスでした。最初は「どうしても用事がある時だけ頼もう」と思っていましたが、本当に素敵なサービスでしたので、モモが運動不足の時や、
自分が忙しい時などにもタキさんに来てもらいたいと思いました。

Luffy & Poesiemau
(European Shorthair)
Taki took care of our 2 cats for a few days when we were away. Everything was taken care of very thoroughly and professional. We both felt at ease knowing he was taking care of them.
One of our cats also needs to take special medication, which makes taking care of them not so straight forward, but nonetheless Taki did it without problem, as he also stayed with them for several hours, to make sure they are not lonely.
Taki also made sure that when we came home, the house was not a mess.
All in all, we are definitely very satisfied.

初めて利用させていただきました。
犬にとっても、初めてのお留守番だったので、タキさんにお会いするまでは不安もありましたが、打ち合わせの段階から時間をかけ、細かいところまで確認してくださったので、これなら大丈夫！と安心して出掛けることができました。当日もお世話開始から終了まで、LINEで写真やコメントをたくさん送っていただき、いつもと変わらぬ犬の様子を知ることができました。
タキさんにとっては大変な作業かと思いますが、とても嬉しいサービスです。
これからも度々お世話になると思いますが、よろしくお願いします。

Erza
(Mixed Breed)
"Taki was so helpful and friendly about his stay at our condo with Erza. She was much more comfortable at home with him because she suffers a bit from separation anxiety and Taki was very understanding in that. He messaged and updated us often about what how they were doing.
He is so respectful and let us know about any concerns he was having and took very good care of our place while we was with Erza. We would love to have you sit with Erza again, Taki! We came home to a happy, tired dog and a beautifully clean apartment.
I would recommend Taki and his services to anyone that may be unsure about pet sitting in Tokyo, as he seems to be comfortable and confident with all animals. He is flexible and communicates well, which is so important when it comes to our pets!
Thank you again! "

Queen Reagan
(Weimaraner)
I've now used Taki several times as a pet-sitter, house-sitter and dog walker for my much loved Weimaraner "Reagan" here in Tokyo.
Taki is honest, dependable, hard working, has attention for the details and MY DOG LOVES HIM. Such a great combination of skills.
He shows up on time, is careful about explaining his services, prices, and when you put your pets in his hands- you can relax.
During his services, Taki takes such great care of the pets he's charged with: he takes them for a long walks, feeds them on schedule and he always provides a report and post on social media. It's really an amazing service that allows me to relax on my trips. Really priceless.
Taki goes above and beyond by giving the house a light cleaning... so that when you return, things are in good shape.
When I come home, my house is CLEAN, my dog is happy, and my nerves are relaxed from being away from my dog.
I cannot recommend Taki's services highly enough.
