Pet care experience

Dogs and Cats typically have no problem warming up to me, even if they are anxious being away from home (or missing their owner). If you want someone who is kind, caring, cool headed, and detail oriented consider me the best option for the job. I've made my career in problem solving, and creative thinking, as well as staying calm in stressful situations. Hope you'll consider me the next time you're traveling or in need of some TLC for your fur baby. Dog owners please be aware, we own a black cat named Cheddar and we have paused in home stays as we are unclear how he would be with a pup. It’s something my partner and I (she is also on Rover!) are going to tackle in 2020.

This was my first time using Rover service and I couldn’t be happier about it. My cat has an IBS problem and I was a bit anxious about leaving town for 2 weeks but Josh was super patient, kind and communicated the entire time. I definitely recommend him!

Josh great with our puppy Darius. He is very attentive, caring, and responsible. We would definitely recommend him.

Josh is fantastic! He was super accommodating during my dog’s extended stay. He also kept me updated and sent lots of pics. Will definitely work with him again :)

Information Joshua K. would like to know about your pet

Are they friendly, shy, do they have any space issues or neurosis. Do they have a favorite toy, do they like to snuggle or do they need their space? Do they have seperation anxiety. How are they with other dogs on leash and off. Would they enjoy a little freshly cooked salmon as a special treat? I love all doggos and puppos!

A typical day

Stays are tailored to each small! If there are needs for activity we live near the Davis Bike Path and a 15 minute drive to the dog run at The Fells. Cats can get playtime with toys, brushing, or just sitting quietly in a room making love eyes at them while they keep their distance on a chair.
