About Oliver K.

Safety, trust & environment

My 2 cats are spoiled but healthy and well behaved. They've got several bowls of water, and are fed 3 times a day, and have plenty of space to lounge, perch, and play - including a cat wheel for zoomies. I've got a crested gecko and 3 frogs as well, in bioactive terrariums with automated lights and misting systems for reliable humidity. In terms of treatment, I'm very gentle and want the best for every pet - a calm demeanor helps when trimming nails or giving meds, and playing with toys instead of hands builds safe habits. While I might be new to you and your pet's life, I'm great about maintaining routine and comfort so that I cause as minimal stress as possible.

Information Oliver K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors that I should be aware of. Happy to give medication if needed, but the more info I have, the better care I can provide. If your pet has a favorite toy or habit that will help them, that's great info for me!

A typical day

Working with cats and dogs, I want to be respectful of boundaries and not cause any undue stress on our animal companions. For cats if they're willing, tossing toys to chase or playing with one on a string to mimic hunting is a lot of fun. For dogs, long walks where they can sniff their surroundings stimulates them both mentally and physically, though I'm always down for a good game of fetch!

When I needed someone to take care of my cats while I traveled, I always turned to Oliver. It was obvious that he loves animals. He has a gentle way of approaching animals that draw them to him. I always felt confident that my babies were being well taken care of. Oliver sent me pictures and an update daily letting me know how they were doing. It was comforting having that connection. Oliver is dependable, conscientious and meticulous about carrying out instructions for care. He is a kind, helpful person of good character. I would recommend him to anyone who wants the best care for their pet.

Oliver K. will be the kindest, most contentious and responsible caregiver for any pet placed in his care. He has had experience with cats, dogs, reptiles and fish throughout his lifetime. Bird care would be an added skill I have no doubt would be offered as proficiently. Our two cats, Stormi and Mars love Oliver’s care and is the only nail trimmer they tolerate. He crates pets gently and efficiently. Oliver has been an “animal whisperer” all of his life. A genuinely loving and caring human being.
