About Rosy K.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
We love both dogs and cats, and are committed to making any animals in our charge feel as comfortable as possible. I’m experienced in cat behavioral consultations to deal with anxiety and unwanted behaviors. We have also trained feral kittens and cats to become adoptable house cats. We ensure the best care for even your shyest cats, cats with special needs, or dogs with quirks. As an added bonus, we are both decent pet photographers with our phones and super happy to send you lots of updates of your beloved furry baby!
Information Rosy K. would like to know about your pet
We can cater to any personality quirks of your pet. Just let us know and we are there for them! We are a huge supporter of all the sniffing and saying hi and getting pets (if that’s what your dog wants!). For cats, we would love to know about what makes them feel loved and how they want to be loved. Cats have very specific love languages and we want cater to them.
A typical day
Josh and I have great walking stamina so we hope your dog does, too! We are also down to play fetch, tug of war, and training reinforcements on request, a process we are familiar with thanks to our own two dogs. We also have a variety of cat toys and DIY at home solutions that trigger a cat’s hunting instincts so we can do those for mental stimulation or even quick bursts of training for intellectual stimulation. We believe in taking the cue from the kitty to guide our depth of interactions.

Former rescuers and cat behaviorist
Pet care experience
I left a career in corporate luxury fashion to run my own cat rescue organization in Malaysia, where my teammates and I rescued and rehomed more than 700 cats. I then returned to the US with my two former street cats to start grad school in Marriage and Family Therapy. I soon met Josh and his two rescue dogs, combined our households, and added a (human) baby to the mix! With our previous rescue and foster background, we are both very experienced in basic medical skills such as pilling, medicating, and eye drops, and I additionally administer subcutaneous fluids, insulin jabs, and provide specialized care for paralyzed cats. We love looking after senior animals, special needs animals, and those affectionately described as "troublemakers."

Reviews
The best pet sitter. Rosy literally just saved my cat’s life, when she noticed he was not his usual self, took him to the vet, where they identified he had a urinary blockage and likely just hours to live. How lucky for us that Rosy was caring for our animals and so observant. Thank you, forever. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Rosy was communicative, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure our cat and us were at ease and taken care of while we were away. We’ve booked Rosy twice now and will absolutely do so again in the future - absolutely 10/10.
Rosy and Josh were excellent house sitters. They were great communicators with frequent updates on how Izzy was doing. They definitely gave her lots of love and attention while we were out of town. We could tell when we got back home that she was very comfortable with them and had a good time. We will definitely be asking them to house sit again for us. Thanks!
Rosy and Josh were simply outstanding. We needed someone to stay at our house and care for our senior dog, who's experiencing new health challenges that require an array of medications and a lot of monitoring. Because of that, we were even considering canceling our vacation. However, after meeting them we felt immediately comfortable knowing our dog would be in good and capable hands. Rosy and Josh provided everyday updates, lots of photos, took our girl on plenty of walks and gave her the attention she's accustomed to, and needs right now. We made the right choice, and hope to use them again in the future. They're great and responsible people who really care.
