I work from home in marketing, so I have a flexible schedule and can give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it's walks, feeding, playtime or simply keeping them company, I'm happy to fit around their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and relaxed while you're away. Will soon be working part time as well, but for now I'm mainly free all the time.

Pet care experience

I've grown up surrounded by animals my entire life, especially cats. My family had a cat before I was even born, so caring for cats has always been second nature to me. I currently have one black cat living with me and another 2, a ginger tom and a Norwegian Forest Cat, who now live happily with my parents in London. I also owned a much-loved Labrador for over 10 years who lives with my family now, giving me plenty of experience with larger dogs as well as their exercise, feeding routines and day-to-day care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs of all breeds, sizes and personalities, whether they love long walks, playing fetch or simply relaxing at home. Friends, neighbours and family have trusted me to care for their pets over the years, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable and happy while you're away.

Jake was really great looking after our beagle Thea and our Frenchie Blu. He was always very quick to respond to our messages, sent lots of photos and updates, clearly enjoyed being with the dogs and they clearly enjoyed being with him. We felt very comfortable leaving them with him and will definitely be using Jake again.

Jake was absolutely wonderful with my kitten, Haru! Haru stayed with him for four days, and Jake kept me regularly updated, which gave me great peace of mind. He was so kind, caring, and gentle, and it was clear that Haru was very happy and comfortable staying with him. When I picked Haru up, he was relaxed and happy, which really showed how well he had been looked after. I really appreciated Jake’s kindness and the care he gave Haru. I would happily trust Jake with Haru again and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable cat sitter!

Jake's been wonderful with my dog and Cat. He was very accomodating despite our changing schedules and was always ready to flex as needed. My pets were loved and well taken care of in Jake's care. Highly recommend.

I have known Jake to give outstanding care to his own families Cats and for other families in the area. He cares alot about pets and would be an excellent choice for keeping your pets looked after during periods where you cant yourself.
