About Me

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.

I do whatever I possibly can to make sure that the cat I’m taking care of is as happy, healthy, as safe as can be and to make sure their needs are met.

For example, I just love all cats and I want to pick them up and pet them and cuddle them and give them lots of love and attention.

But having said that, I also know that some cats don’t like that and it would really have a negative affect on them; so I can appreciate and respect the individual cats' needs.

I’m also happy to have an introductory meeting beforehand just to meet the cat and get to know them and make sure that the cat would be happy for me to take care of them for a few days.

    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

    Everything was just great, Jacob looked after our cat, Nessie, over Christmas, and did an amazing job! She was happy and well cared for, and we loved the frequent updates. Jacob’s attention and time with Nessie made all the difference. Highly recommend! 🐾

    Jacob has looked after my cats a number of times, and has always been great about giving updates (including pictures and videos), letting me know when he's arrived and left - always feel like he's given them some attention and affection and goes above and beyond. Very trustworthy and would recommend.

    Jacob has been absolutely amazing, it was far beyond what we could have expected. Our cat is very difficult, rare are the people that agree to look after her. But Jacob accepted the job without hesitation, and won her over in a couple of days. We have been feeling guilt free to leave her, knowing that she was so well looked after. Thank you Jacob

    Jacob is a very lovely person who loves cats and is great with them, our 9 month old kitten Tubbs clearly thought so too. He sent lots of updates and videos when he visited her during our week abroad though admittedly time keeping was an issue with half the morning visits taking place after 2pm and due to a prompt from us.

    While away on holiday, Jacob watched our 2 cats and did spectacular! Our cats require some feeding adaptations and special care and he definitely managed that over the weekend. Jacob is a caring and compassionate guy and that shows in his willingness to update the owners each visit and the amount of time he stays with the pets. Thanks Jacob!

    We used Jacob on three occasions in 2023. He sent us photographs and videos on each visit. He genuinely loves cats and our pet looked very happy and relaxed in his company.

    Jacob is an incredibly kind and thoughtful person who took great care of my cat who is quite shy. I would definitely recommend Jacob as he genuinely loves cats and will go above and beyond to make sure they are ok while you are away. Thank you Jacob :)

    Jacob is an amazing cat sitter. He’s reliable, communicative and absolutely love cats. He took good care of our kitten Nina while we were away, playing with her and giving her lots of cuddles. He sent daily updates, which help us to relax knowing she was in very good hands. He went above and beyond. I would highly recommend him.

    Once again we asked Jacob to help us take care of the cats while we're away. This time for two and a half weeks, but they had all the care they needed: feeding, playtime and above all keeping them company. If you want a cat lover to take care of yours, Jacob is your man!

    Jacob looks after my cat at least once a week at the moment whilst I commute for work. It’s so reassuring to know Domino is being well looked after. Jacob is a fantastic cat sitter.

    Jacob met us before + our cat was very comfy. He sent lots of pics/vids which is great! Some issues: We asked for the autofeeder to be set on the last night which wasn't done. Left clear info to give 35g per feed but she was fed 70g for each meal. From past reviews this may be a blip + Jacob was truly upset at the mistake, but we have to be honest.

    Jacob regularly looks after my cat and I can’t fault him - he’s really diligent and great with Domino.

    Jacob looked after my two cats over the Easter bank holiday weekend. He was absolutely brilliant - really easy to communicate with and sent lots of great photos and videos. I would strongly recommend him as a cat sitter to anyone looking! Thanks so much Jacob!

    Jacob is our go-to cat sitter every time we're away. He keeps our two cats well fed and their litter tray clean, and most importantly he keeps them company and plays with them and gives them all the cuddles they need. We always come back home to happy cats!

    Jacob was the best cat sitter we could have hoped for. He sent us videos and pictures everyday. He made really good friends with our cat who other cat sitters haven't even got sight of. He spent time with them and clearly cares so much about cats. He reassurance he gave us while we were away was priceless.

    This was the second time I'd used Jacob to catsit for Bob and he was once again wonderful! Great communication with me over the Christmas break. Would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable cat sitter.

    Jacob was excellent taking care of our two cats. He communicated with us throughout every visit with pics and videos. He socialised with the cats extensively and learnt their distinct personalities. He made them so comfortable that although one of the cats never sits on a stranger's lap, she was on his on the third day. A resounding success!

    Jacob took excellent care of our cat Robi while we were away. He kept in touch with us throughout, sent updates and let us know when he'd be there, and our cat obviously really took to him! I'd definitely recommend Jacob to anyone looking for a reliable friendly sitter that truly loves cats.

    Jacob was truly phenomenal. This was our first time using a sitter for Nema over the holiday break and we were understandably nervous about it. However, Jacob was everything we could have hoped for. He was communicative, helpful, reliable, organised, and clearly loves cats. He sent pictures and videos daily and even helped out doing a key drop-off for us while we were out. We will absolutely be using him again in the future.

    Jacob was great with our cat Kit. He really seems to like cats and knows how to play with them. He also sent us loads of updates which was good, especially as it was our first booking with him. Will definitely be in touch when we go away again and would highly recommend him

    Jacob was amazing! This was our first time trusting Birdy with a stranger and he put us at ease straightaway. He sent us lots of photos and videos and we really appreciated knowing she was in safe hands. He even came round to meet Birdy beforehand and went out of his way to check that her automatic feeder worked in the morning.

    Jacob did a great job with my kitten Susie. She's not used to other people but he put in extra time before I went away to make sure we were both comfortable. By the end of the week she was playing and getting strokes! He did a great job and I would definitely call on him again. Thanks Jacob!

    Jacob was great with our two cats. He sent us pictures twice a day when he was in our house. He was also very quick to reply texts. I definitely recommend Jacob and hopefully we will use his services again when life goes back to normal and we are able to travel again.

    Jacob is a brilliant cat sitter - he genuinely loves cats and stayed a long time with our cat to make sure he was settled. He kept in regular contact and always made us feel that our cat was given the best possible love and care.

    Thank you so much Jacob!

    We highly recommend Jacob for a happy cat :)

    Jacob is a real cat lover and takes his job seriously. He looked after my 10-year old cat - who's not very friendly and spends most of his time outdoor- brilliantly, always making sure of his whereabouts and wellbeing. He also sent me lots of photos, which is always much appreciated! I highly recommend him.

    Reliable, cat loving. Jacob sent pics of our cat every day and reported on her mood. He was also very helpful when we were flooded during our absence and he kindly communicated with the plumber. I would 100% recommend him!

    I felt comfortable knowing Jacob was looking after Calli while I was away, he sent me videos of her playing and went through all the jobs on her care list with me so I knew everything had been done. I would use Jacob again :)
