Highlights
Pet care experience
Cat care professional
In my role at Morrisville Cat Hospital, I was responsible for overseeing the daily needs of our boarding cats and cats who were being admitted for services during the day. My responsibilities included, but were not limited to: cleaning each cage or condo daily, administering medication and feeding, and being alert to/recording changes in a cat’s health such as vomiting, diarrhea, or noticeable weight loss. I also helped out by sanitizing & preparing exam rooms between appointments, assisting vets & vet techs with blood draws, vaccinations, and oral medicating. Prior to MCH, I spent several years fostering dozens of cats through the Foster Paws Rescue organization in South Carolina. As a volunteer with Foster Paws, I guided prospective adopters through an intake and paperwork process where I would collect and transcribe pertinent information, ensuring all documentation was complete and accurate. Being able to facilitate the adoptions of strays in my care with their new owners was very fulfilling to be a part of.

Safety, trust & environment
I typically medicate before feeding in the mornings, and vice-versa in the afternoons. I was trained on Fear-free handling techniques and am experienced in handling potentially anxious/skittish cats.
Ratings and reviews
Jake is my next door neighbor. I know him to be courteous, a cautious driver, thoughtful and honest. And my two cats love him! For several years he has looked after our cats while we are on 1-2 week vacations. One is a rescue who is indoor only and one (a Siamese) who is allowed outside but is mainly indoor. Jake is faithful about following my instructions about feeding times and amounts, using clean dishes, cleaning litter boxes, changing water bowls and assuring that the indoor cat does not escape and the Siamese - if outside - gets inside before dark or bad weather. He often sends me random photos of them to reassure me they are fine without me. We appreciate his punctuality, his ability to follow instructions and his interest in the well being of the kitties. I highly recommend him as a cat pet sitter.

Schedule
I have a good bit of free-time, so I'm pretty flexible when it comes to availability & visiting multiple times per day for feeding/medicating.
- CatsJacob can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
