Former EMT that loves animals!

Pet care experience

I’m new to Rover but had cats, dogs, chickens, goats, and even ducks growing up! I love animals and have been taking care of my own for many years. I worked as an EMT after high-school but now I’m focused on my studies in Law&Psychology at UCSC. I am medically trained and highly responsible!

I highly recommend Kaj, he is amazing! He is dependable and communicates every visit. He took care of my two kitties with 2 visits a day for 7 days. The litter area and feeding area was clean and organized upon return. He brought in mail and took out the garbage as well. Super sweet energetic young man, book him!!

Information Kaj O. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if they have any allergies or medications and whether they are social or not. Introverted dogs are easy to take care of so don’t worry if your dog is shy!

A typical day

I love to take dogs on walks around the neighborhood and to the beach if they are well behaved. If they are social dogs and prefer to be around companions, I go to dog parks as well!
