Human Nurse For Our Furry Friends!

Pet care experience

*Please note that I work from 8-4:30, will be available after 5PM for check-ins and walks.* Born and raised on the Olympic peninsula, I grew up, surrounded by many different types of animals. Personally, my family had three cats and four dogs. My aunt who lived just a mile away, had a whole farm, composed of cats, dogs, chickens, goats, horses, etc. I would often pet sit for her as I truly receive gratification from being with my furry friends. Pet sitting translated into my current work as a registered nurse here in downtown Seattle. With previous experience being a respiratory nurse in the middle of a respiratory pandemic, And current work of being a primary care nurse, you can imagine, I am well equipped to deal with health needs of our pets. In the past, I have given oral and injectable medication‘s to pets. I have watched. Currently, I have my cat on an oral medication regimen and I’m very familiar with their finicky ways. If you’re anxious about leaving your pet with someone due to a complex medication regiment, I might be able to help!

Jacob’s role as a registered nurse has helped mold a confident and competent pet owner. Whether it includes helping with medication or just being patient with a more timid pet, Jacob has shown they have a special ability to connect with animals. Jacob also understands that the bond between a pet and their owner can feel like a parent/child relationship, understanding the importance and impact an animal can have on your life and what care is necessary to keep the relationship healthy and happy.

I highly recommend Jacob to care for your pets! Responsible, reliable, prompt, detailed and honest, he has done an outstanding job on many occasions taking care of my dogs and cats while I've been away. He has consistently shown great care and compassion to all of my animals including my elderly dog who is on a strict medication schedule. What a relief it is to know my "kids" are very well taken care of when I leave them in Jacobs care. I am worry free! Without hesitation, I highly recommend him.

Jacob is a kind and warm human being. They have such positive energy about them! Jacob was the first person I got to know when I moved to Seattle because they went out of their way to introduce themself to me. When I've asked them to help care for my cat, they've always dropped what they're doing to help. Jacob has always been respectful of my home and took time to get to know my cat's personality to best care for him!

Safety, trust & environment

I am as cautious with pets as I am with my patients. Every “being” in this world has specialized needs, it’s my job to adapt and give care that works for myself and my clients (pet and/or owner). I have an expert knowledge of the behaviors of cats and dogs and know that their trust and respect is earned. I am happy/would prefer to meet your pets beforehand to confirm I would be a good fit.

Information Jacob K. would like to know about your pet

I am so excited to potentially be working with you and your furry friend! Sadly, I cannot have overnight stays at this time, but am happy to come to your home and take care of your pets.

A typical day

Typical day is making sure the iADLs of my cats are met, they’re fed morning and evening, brushed, litter is changed, water changed, and so on.
