This Sitter Was Utterly Smitten — Nada-ku, Kobe
Categories: On the Job > Cats
The one I came to care for this time
is an American Shorthair,
Nekomaru-kun.😺
The day after our meeting was his birthday,
and he turned thirteen.🎂
Having moved here from Tokyo,
his family had used Orange Petsitter
back in Tokyo as well.🍀
Thank you so much
for continuing to choose us.⭐
Right from our meeting, Nekomaru-kun
came over to sniff at my bag,
so full of curiosity.😽
And he let me pet him, too.😸



Meeting a brown American Shorthair
for the first time, I took one look
at Nekomaru-kun's beautiful coat and fell head over heels.😍
On the day of care, too, he nuzzled up against me
and let me pet him plenty.✨
He was so unbearably cute that I was
utterly smitten.❤️



He did such a great job holding down the fort over the two days❗
Looking forward to the next time, too😁

Irresistibly Cute — Machida, Tokyo
Categories: Dogs > On the Job
Always adorable,
that's Sakura-chan.
When I arrive to care for her,
she welcomes me at the door
and with a "Hurry, hurry!"
she leads me to the room.
Once our greetings are done,
First,
"a game of chase!"
that's Sakura-chan.
is so very, very fast.
I can't catch her😅

Checking behind her as she goes,
running with a toy in her mouth —
that's our Sakura-chan.
Sakura-chan
is quite the little athlete.
Just when she's leapt up onto the sofa,
she springs right back down,
darting here and there,
kindly helping with my diet along the way😆
Whatever she wears,
Sakura-chan pulls it off beautifully.


And an essential for summer outings,
her hat looks just like this!


No matter what she does,
she's cute through and through,
that's Sakura-chan.
Let's play together again soon🥰

Meow! Meow! Glider! — Chuo-ku, Osaka
Categories: On the Job > Cats > Sugar Gliders
This time's care was for brown tabby "Hani-chan," black-and-white "Raima-chan," and, caring for one for the very first time, "Kotsubu-kun" the sugar glider.

Hani-chan: "Hello there!"

Raima-chan: "Good morning!"

Kotsubu-kun.
Since sugar gliders are nocturnal, I'd been told he might not come out of his little room.
But then…

Kotsubu-kun: "It's delicious!"

When I prepared his meal, he came right out — how lucky I was!

He even ate his dried mealworm treats right from my hand.


Hani-chan, relaxing atop the moving boxes not yet unpacked.


Raima-chan, in the middle of a little nap.
They'd only just moved, so none of them were used to the rooms yet…
But even so, you all did so well holding down the fort~
So amazing, all of you✨✨✨
Until we meet again💕🤗

Sweet Spica-chan, Rolling Over for a Belly Rub — Yodogawa-ku, Osaka
Categories: Dogs > On the Job
Her very first stay with a pet sitter.🏠🐾
She gave me a lively "woof-woof" welcome.🎶
Adorable Spica-chan, with her big, round, teary eyes.❣️

Right away, she rolled over and showed me her tummy.😆
Far too cute~~~😍😍😍

"She barks, but she won't attack," Mama had told me — and that bit of barking at the very start was just because she was surprised, wasn't it!
After that, Spica-chan didn't bark even once.❣️
What a good girl~👏
She held down the fort like the sweetest little angel!💮💯


After just a short walk, she wanted to head home and went straight to her front door.😅
Well, when she gazes up with those adorable eyes, what can you do?💕︎😍

Yay, yay! — Spica-chan, so delighted.❣️
So adorable~~~😍

Nibbling away on her dental chew.

Spica-chan saw me off at the end.💗
She was so unbearably cute that I didn't want to leave.😭
Spica-chan,
you did such a great job holding down the fort.💪
I'm looking forward to the day we meet again.🥰
Now then
see you soon👋

The Four Fluffy Musketeers and Their Merry Feline Friend — Miyakojima-ku, Osaka
Categories: Dogs > On the Job > Cats
Hello, everyone❣️
Nice to meet you🤗
Allow us to introduce ourselves~🐶😸
We're so glad to meet you~🎶


The eldest sister, An-chan❤️
Being quite a bit older than her little siblings, she's something of a mother figure👵✌️
She's the biggest of them all, but gentle in nature — a kind big sister who watches over her siblings quietly, a step back from it all☺️
She's the very best on walks, too — her experience really shows, and I felt completely at ease walking her🚶🐾
Keep being everyone's leader from here on out❗️
We're counting on you~😉✨


The eldest brother, Pooh-kun💙
With a knack for charm that leaves Mama utterly smitten (in the best way!), his motto is "Everyone's lap is mine."
And claiming it first is his usual routine😆
He's good at climbing up high, but every so often he can't get back down, or so I hear?🤭
And each time, he calls to Mama for help and gets a lift back down, doesn't he😆
And once he gazes up at you with those upturned eyes~🙄
you're captivated in an instant — a bewitching man (er, dog)👿


The second brother, Neru-kun🧡
A Pomeranian whose Shiba-style cut suits him wonderfully💕
His sparkling eyes are his charm point✨🥹✨
He's the most attached to Mama and hates to be apart for even a moment, but he held down the fort so well together with his big sisters and brother💪
He showed the most growth of all✌️
Well done, you😉👍


The second sister, Niko-chan🩷
A carefree little beauty, the youngest, only just graduated from puppyhood🥰
She adapts quickly and warms right up to people, too✌️
Wanting to copy her big sisters and brother, she was always chasing after them😆💨
Growing up in leaps and bounds~✌︎(‘ω’)✌︎
Learning something new every day📖✏️


With his charming round face and ever-so-slightly round figure, Pique-kun the American Shorthair is just too cute — and this time, as a special guest,
he got to hold down the fort together with the four musketeers.
Glancing sideways at the rowdy pups, he spends his time relaxed and at his own pace😸
Before I knew it, he'd always come to my side,
greeting me with a gentle bonk of his head — such a calm and kind-natured boy🥰
There's even a theory that he's actually a dog in a cat costume❗️😂


Each with their own personality, and when they all gather, it's lively and the laughter multiplies fivefold🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Such a close-knit family🐶😸💕
I spent five days laughing my heart out too (more wrinkles on the way~!😂).
Everyone's smiles are my source of energy❗️
I'm looking forward to the day we meet again~🤩👋

Pure Comfort — Sumida-ku, Tokyo
Categories: On the Job > Cats

This is Koron-kun, a Siberian.🙆
A kind-hearted boy who gives me a big welcome every single time.😊

Each time, he happily plays away, batting and swishing to his heart's content.😊

Showing off that adorable face as he plays so joyfully, he always brings such comfort to my heart.😊
Koron-kun,
thank you, always.🥰
Let's play together again soon.😊
