Profile
Representative Director, ARF Co., Ltd. / Decision Support Consultant
At the end of 2025, I said goodbye to my dog Chuck Louis, who was nearly sixteen. What stayed with me afterward was a single thought: "if only I had noticed sooner."
That is also the reason I decided, in 2026, to restart ARF — a company I first founded in 2013 and had since put on hold.
Looking at my career alone, I may not seem like someone who works with pets. I spent many years in IT and consulting — organizational design, people development, hiring, one-on-ones, and all kinds of workplace consultations. Throughout, my work always came back to the same question: how do you decide, when there's too much information and no single right answer?
At home, meanwhile, my life has always been full of dogs. Living with several small dogs of different ages, personalities, and health conditions, I've learned that almost nothing goes according to the textbook. "Knowing the facts" and "being able to decide what's right for this particular dog" turn out to be quite different things.
That's why, at My Treasury ARF, my goal isn't to decide the answer for you. It's to gather information, organize the situation, and walk alongside your family until you can ask — and answer — "what's right for us?" for yourselves.
The organizing skills I built over years in business, and the listening skills I've developed living alongside people and dogs — two quite different worlds. Looking back now, they turn out to be more connected than I ever expected.
I want to reduce, even a little, the moments you look back and think "if only I had known."
That is why I'm starting My Treasury ARF again in 2026.

For first-time visitors only, one session per person. From your second session onward, each service is charged at its regular fee.
Sitter Service
Your pet is cared for by experienced staff holding certifications such as Certified Small Animal Nurse and Certified Dog Sitter. Beyond simply watching your pet, our strength is the expertise to notice even small changes in health or behavior.
We visit your home to provide meals, medication, and playtime in your pet's familiar environment — easing the worry of leaving them home alone.
We take your dog for walks on busy days or when you're not feeling well, and report on how it went. If pets need separate walks due to compatibility or differences in stamina, please book the total time needed (for example, two dogs who can't walk together at 30 minutes each would need a 60-minute booking).
One night runs 18:00–10:00 the next day. Extension +¥550 per 30 min (up to 2 hours). 24-hour plan ¥11,000 (24 hours from drop-off). For a 2nd pet from the same household staying at the same time, ¥1,000 off each plan (¥7,800 for 1 night / ¥10,000 for 24 hours). A 3rd pet, or care requiring a separate room, individual walks, or medication assistance, is quoted individually.
Overnight care in the same room Dogs first; cats and other small pets by individual consultationAt My Treasury ARF, our certified representative (Certified Small Animal Nurse, Senior Pet Care & Counseling Specialist, and other certifications) personally cares for a limited number of pets. Because we watch over your pet in the same room overnight, there's no anxiety of being left alone in a crate. Drawing on our own experience with multiple pets, we also pay close attention to compatibility with other pets in our care.

Our Family
Each of them taught me about a different stage of life — my teachers, every one.
A former rescue dog who overcame hydrocephalus, teaching me how to protect a life. A Chihuahua.
He taught me about calm everyday life and how to make the most of the senior years. A Chihuahua.
I said goodbye to him at the end of 2025. He taught me the importance of making choices you won't regret. A Toy Poodle.
Living with cognitive decline, eye removal, and ongoing glaucoma care, she taught me the resolve never to give up, to the very end.
