About Jake

Love cats. Always have since I was a kid. Look after others' furry ones because finding competent cover can be wretched. I've had ones of my own and would probably have some if I lived in a bigger place. I've got experience looking after cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, lizards, snakes, spiders and ferrets. Am happy to do things like administer medication as needed. Am available for overnight stays as needed and have profiles on Rover and Cat in a Flat as a result. If you have any queries by all means reach out but I generally prefer to operate close to home if possible, but am willing to get buses as needed (providing coverage). I have positive reviews on Cat in a Flat which I'm able to provide as needed. Outside of cat sitting I work in digital marketing, social media management, and as an associate tutor at Cardiff Met. 

Usually when sitting for pets, I make sure to do basic things like bring in the mail and bins if needed, clean up things like pet food mats, and play for a bit with them, trying to use anything suggested by the owners. Walks I usually go by the size of dog - toy sized then once around the block, but a high energy breed like a collie is going to need at least a run around the nearest park (depending on leash capability). I've administered gum meds, injections, and pills in food way too many times. Only thing I try and avoid doing is trimming cat nails mostly because it's difficult to get right.
