About Yuka

Hello!

I’m Yuka — originally from Japan (and yes, that alone usually says “trustworthy,” doesn’t it?).
I live right in front of beautiful Browns Bay Beach with my 3-year-old son — who has been kissed by dogs since birth — and our 10-year-old fluffy Toy Poodle.

My life has always been surrounded by animals. I’ve rescued a shelter dog before, and I’m planning to welcome a Bernedoodle puppy next year. I absolutely love dogs — all shapes, sizes, and personalities.

After looking after the dogs of friends and neighbors for years, I’ve been encouraged so many times to “start offering this properly.” So here I am — turning our beachside lifestyle and genuine love for animals into a small side business.

What You Can Expect

  • Daily walks on the beach, cuddles, and constant supervision.
  • Private rooms are available for dogs who are shy, anxious, or simply prefer quiet space (see photos).
  • In summer, I also offer cool tiled private rooms for heat-sensitive pups.
  • Puppies are welcome! If your pup is still toilet-training, I’ll help maintain your routine.
  • For beach lovers who enjoy swimming, please bring your dog’s usual shampoo — I’ll happily rinse them off after playtime.
  • I don’t strictly require vaccination records, as I respect that every owner has their own approach and beliefs.

Before Booking

  • Please let me know if your dog bites, jumps, or barks excessively, as I have a small child at home.
  • If your dog is not fully toilet-trained, please mention it in advance so I can prepare accordingly.
  • I’ll make sure every pup feels safe, calm, and cared for — as if they were my own.

Your dog will enjoy a calm, loving home just steps from the ocean — with plenty of sunshine, gentle care, and new friends waiting to play.
