Five Star Cat Sitting Service

Hello my name is Jacob, I moved to London from Brisbane, Australia in March 2019. Back home, I lived with my parents and our wonderful, amazing cat who was named Tommy after the musician Tom Waits. Back home, I was the primary caretaker for Tommy. I fed him, I filled his water bowl, replaced his kitty litter, cleaned all of his things. I organised his appointments and took him to the vet for his check ups. I made sure he was locked indoors and safe at night before I went to bed. I made sure he was loved everyday by me and I gave him as much love and attention as he wanted. Additionally, my love of cats was well known with friends and family, and I would enthusiastically accept any offers to cat sit. I regularly cat sat a work colleagues cats which I had to administer daily oral tablets, as well. I’m offering my cat sitting services primarily to meet and spend time with cats, because I miss Tommy, I love cats, but my living situation doesn’t permit any animals. The money is just an added bonus, as I earn minimum wage.

Jacob took excellent care of our cat Pablo! It’s clear that he loves cats. He often stayed longer than the 30min daily visit we paid for, which we really appreciated. He sent lots of videos, pics, and written updates too! We wouldn’t hesitate to use his services again in the future.

Jacob has been amazing with our cat, despite her being quite difficult. Perfect, as always!

I've lost count of how many times Jacob has taken care of the cats! Great communication with plenty of pictures, and also took care of the fish and plants. We came back to everyone being very happy
