Our Adorable Little Tsundere 🩷 — Nishinomiya, Hyogo
Categories: On the Job > Cats
This time, I had the pleasure of caring for Sumomo-chan, a beautiful Minuet.
A stunning beauty with the looks of a fashion model.✨

And Sumomo-chan's mastery of being tsundere — that perfect dance between aloof and affectionate — is simply something to behold.🌟
I've cared for her several times now, and every single visit, I find myself completely swept up in her tsundere charm.😍

One moment, she'll come right over and flop down beside me — a long, luxurious stretch and a soft little roll — showing me her most unguarded, trusting side.
A cuteness beyond words. I was completely smitten.😍

And then — off she'd go, vanishing under the bed. No toy, no trick, nothing could coax her out.😅
With that prim little expression, she'd stay perfectly still, like a beautiful little plush toy.

And now — Sumomo-chan in "Let's play ♪" mode!
From behind the mirror, she'd lock onto her toy with the sharpest, most focused gaze.👀✨
And even though it was only the handle of the toy, she just couldn't help reaching out a paw!

Next, it was my turn to invite her — "Let's play ♪"
Not really in the mood, but still humoring me with a play session…
"Well, if I must," she seemed to sigh, joining in anyway.🐾
Thank you, Sumomo-chan, for playing with me!☺️

And just like that, this sitter has fallen deep into Sumomo-chan's adorable tsundere spell.

Nice to Meet You, Choco-mi-chan — Kita-ku, Osaka
Categories: On the Job > Cats
This time, I had the pleasure of caring for Choco-mi-chan over two days — and it was our very first time meeting.
Even during our Meet & Greet, Choco-mi-chan was hiding away in her favorite spot behind the microwave — such a sweet, shy little girl.🐱🧡
On day one, true to form, she stayed tucked behind the microwave, watching me carefully from her safe spot…

Day two started the same way — peeking out from behind the microwave — but little by little, she began to come out.😽



And once she came out, she must have remembered me — because to my delight, Choco-mi-chan walked right over and even let me give her some gentle pets!😻



And for our farewell, she settled into her usual cool-cat spot to see me off.😎

Such a sweet and well-behaved little girl, holding down the fort so beautifully — that's our Choco-mi-chan.🐱🧡
I'm already looking forward to seeing her again.🥰

A Treasure of Memories — Chuo-ku, Kobe
Categories: Dogs > On the Job
For about two years now,
I've been caring for these three sweet pups.
Recently, their family kindly let me know
that they'll be moving abroad.
Looking back through all the photos I've taken,
every single one of them is just so adorable…
and so many joyful memories come flooding back.
So let me introduce them, one by one.
First up — Vivi-chan, a five-year-old Chihuahua.
A bubbly little princess through and through,
who would always come bounding to greet me,
wagging that tiny tail so hard
it looked like it might fly right off.
On walks, she'd often plant her feet and refuse to budge,
a habitual hopeful for a carry in my arms.



Next — Bear-kun, a four-year-old Chihuahua-Pekingese mix.
Shy, soft-spoken, and gloriously at his own pace.
On walks, he'd stride along with such elegance,
like a proper little gentleman.



And finally — Shuri-chan, a one-year-old Pekingese mix.
I first met Shuri-chan
back in November 2024.
A playful little spitfire
who would always follow me everywhere I went.
Since the three of them usually walk together,
she seemed a little unsure
about going out just the two of us,
looking around with curious, wide eyes
all along the way.
Shuri-chan back when we first met — still such a puppy.


And here she is more recently —
a photo her family kindly sent me.

a photo her family kindly sent me.
and every single one was so sweet,
that choosing took me quite a while!
Their family tells me that around the time Vivi-chan turns ten,
they'll be coming back home
to Japan.
I'll be waiting, with the warmest heart,
for the day I see all three of them again.☺️
Thank you, truly, for all the wonderful moments
we've shared together❗

♪ The Cutest of the Cute — Kawasaki
Categories: On the Job > Cats
Today's star is the impossibly adorable Scottish Fold, Suzu-chan!
With those sparkling, round little eyes — what a cutie of a girl she is.

Even after a long time apart, she dutifully came right to the door to greet me — purring, then flopping over for a belly rub. I nearly melted on the spot from sheer joy!

Now, this adorable Suzu-chan has a bit of a mischievous streak…
Last time I was here, the water dispenser, well… she'd had her way with it!
But her family is always several steps ahead.
The whole home is thoughtfully arranged so Suzu-chan can stay comfortable and safe while they're away. Such clear proof of how deeply she's loved.🥰

When I prepared her meal, she'd already be waiting in her cage,
or earnestly pawing at litter that hadn't a single grain out of place…
Such classic cat behavior — and oh, the cuteness simply will not stop!💖
"Alright, I'll play with you — just because I feel like it ♪" she'd seem to say as she pounced and frolicked,
but after a little while, she'd suddenly turn away with that faraway look in her eyes…
"Mom, Dad… aren't you home yet?"…

And for moments like these, Suzu-chan has her ultimate weapon — Churu!✨
Total transformation! She grabbed onto my hand without hesitation, savoring every last drop down to the final squeeze. So delicious, wasn't it!

Every little gesture, every pose — Suzu-chan is just irresistibly cute.💞

She did such a wonderful job on her solo stay.
Wishing you many happy, healthy days ahead with your mom and dad, sweet Suzu-chan.🥰

Morning Rituals with Ta-chan and Ku-chan — Taito-ku, Tokyo
Categories: On the Job > Ferrets
The first to wake up was Ta-chan — whose grand full name, by the way, is Tachimaru.
Still a little sleepy, I see!

And here comes Ku-chan, ready to greet the day too.

After enjoying a Churu dessert, it was time for their morning bath.

Ta-chan dries himself off so beautifully — every little detail, all on his own. So impressive!👏


Fresh from the bath, Ku-chan looked simply ethereal —
Just like a tiny fairy✨️

Once the whole routine was complete, the two of them came right over to me, side by side, as if to say, "Play with us!" Honestly, the cuteness was almost too much to bear. Thank you, Ta-chan and Ku-chan, for such a precious morning🥰

Three Sweethearts, One Unforgettable Visit — Midori-ku, Yokohama
Categories: On the Job > Cats
Caring for three lovely kitties💞
Meme-chan, a beautiful Bombay,
and Momo-kun, a sweet mixed-breed boy,
both a little on the shy side.
They hadn't joined the Meet & Greet,
so I arrived wondering
whether I'd get to see them at all.
But —
on this very first visit,
Meme-chan and Momo-kun
accidentally let me catch a glimpse of them.
And here is
that precious, precious shot✨
So adorable!

The original photo was much darker,
I brightened it just enough to make them out🔍
I didn't want to startle them,
so I snapped this from a careful distance.
Now, was that Momo-kun or Meme-chan?
Honestly, I couldn't quite tell.
The two have different builds,
but to my eyes in that fleeting moment…
I just couldn't say😰
To make matters worse, somewhere along the way,
I'd quietly gotten their sizes mixed up in my head😓🙏
Later in the visit,
one of them peeked out again for just a second.
It was Momo-kun.
But I had been calling out
"Meme-chan! Meme-chan!"
a few times before realizing.
How embarrassing😕
I'm so sorry, Momo-kun.
please forgive me!🙏
And here is Momo-kun,
who graciously let me capture him one more time.

And down at the bottom of the stairs,
with a wonderfully commanding presence,
sat the magnificent British Shorthair —
TAKAHIRO-kun.
🐈
When you hear that name,
you might find yourself
wondering if there's a certain inspiration behind it…
and yes, you'd be absolutely right!👍

A boy, yes — but truly beautiful✨
And it isn't only his looks.
TAKAHIRO-kun turned out
to be the most reliable little gentleman.
He had even joined us at the Meet & Greet,
and during my visit,
he kept a watchful eye on my work as if to say,
"Yes, that's just right"
offering the most lovely assistance☺️
Once I'd finished my duties,
he kindly stayed to play with me too.

The variety of poses
that emerged from this magnificent body…
So… so adorable. 💘

And before long, completely lost in the moment.

"May I brush you, too?"
I asked.
"Sure, go ahead,"
said TAKAHIRO-kun.

And then suddenly
"Alright, that's enough now"
he gently rested his round little paw on my hand.
🗝
The feeling of that paw
was extraordinarily gentle.
Not a hint of claw — soft and round,
just like the paw of a plush toy♬
Thank you for such a delightful visit.
You all did so wonderfully on your own.
May you always stay this close, dear friends🥰
