About Me

I LOVE Cats and Kittehs.....

well probably everyone on here does BUT

I have been cat sitting for friends, collegues and friends of friends for many years, more than a decade. Informally and then for paid work.

Im also a professional chef and baker and would be happy to bake treats while I stay over and look after your precious feline friends.

Im a freelance teacher/chef/creative so this will help subsidise my income as well as provide some well needed kitty companionship (I dont have my own because im often out of town, travelling with work, though im very flexible around my work)

I can provide some EXCELLENT references and DBS as I work with vulnerable adults and children.

I’m happy to provide cat sitting services in Lewisham, Catford, Hither green, New Cross, Peckham, Deptford, Blackheath, Greenwich, Docklands, Wapping and many surrounding boroughs in London.

yours,

Raju, a self confessed Kitteh Lover.

Some have known to call me the 'cat whisperer' because I'm very good with cats and they usually seem to love me back pretty instantly. It just happens, even with the most troublesome cats. They warm to me quickly. CAT CHARM! I think its something to do with being very observant, attentive and caring. Its not really catscience.

My approach is gentle and caring, cat centred, though I can be assertive when needed, for example when giving medications.

I can cat sit troublesome cats such as those with anxiety.

I can feed and change litter, give medications, play and generally keep them good company.

I can stay over with your cat friends keeping them good company. I live in a housing coop shared housing so enjoy moments of calm away.

    Raju took good care of our two cats, including administering medication to a reluctant Odin. He was thorough and attentive. Thank you, Raju!

    Raju took care of our two cats for a long weekend. He did a great job keeping us up to date and also communicating in advance to find out when are we leaving/returning so he can pick the best time to visit. The pics he sent each day were great - don't know how he managed to get them both to pose so well :) Definitely recommend.

    Raju was happy to look after my cat over Christmas at short notice. He sent regular photos of Juniper who seemed very pleased with the attention!

    We went at home for Christmas and he looked after Minx perfectly, even he taught us more about the cats. He knew how to solve some inconveniences while we are on vacation, we are grateful to him. We' re going to contact with him next time.

    Raju saved our Christmas! After the friends who usually cat sat for us told us they'd be away for Christmas we were a bit worried we might have to take our kitty to a boarding cattery. But thankfully Raju was available and our holiday plans went ahead smoothly.

    He is super nice and very accommodating, making sure to send photos every day and keeping us up to date. Our little guy was nice and chilled out when we got back home and the flat was just as we'd left it, so we'd definitely book Raju again :)

    I recommend Raju as cat sitter. He took care of my cat Zizi while we were away for 4 days. He kept me informed and sent me photos so I could be relaxed! My flat was also in a perfect condition- just the way I left it! Hope I can use his services next time!

    Raju looked after our cat Bunny while we were away on holiday for a week. Bunny was very well cared for, she was happy and relaxed when we got back. The flat was tidy and clean. We highly recommend Raju as a cat sitter and we will definitely ask him to look after Bunny again. Thank you Raju! Giorgia, Ben & Bunny :)

    Raju looked after our two cats, Milly and Marmalade, for 10 days this summer, while we were on holiday. Raju was an excellent cat sitter. He is very reliable and easy to communicate with. He took the time to ask about the cats, their food requirements and meal-times. The cats were happy, healthy and relaxed when we came home and Raju took some lovely photos of them looking equally happy while we were away. Raju looked after our cats very well and I wholeheartedly recommend him as a cat sitter.

    I can recommend Raju with no reservations. Besides being a very nice and relaxed person, Raju really listened when I told him about the cats and their needs, especially the cat (formerly a street cat) that tends to be nervous and scared. When I came back from my vacation, they had totally fallen in love with each other, which does not happen often with a nervous cat. I think Raju has a special way with animals and is also absolutely trustworthy. He took good care of my apt. as well as the cats. I give him a five!

    Raju is the perfect cat sitter - he is tidy, clean and reliable. He is also very good with our cat. She is a rescue cat and doesn't warm to our friends or guests easily, she can be at times timid and scared and other times aggressive. We used to leave her for a night or two on her own when we went away but when we came back she would be distressed and angry with us so we have started booking Raju to come and stay whenever we are away. Now, whenever we leave she is always really happy to see Raju and is chilled and happy when we come back. Raju does everything from feeding her, dealing with the cat litter to giving her cuddles when she wants them. The house is always exactly as we left it when we return - he's considerate and adaptable to our needs. My only reticence in giving him a 5* reference is that he might now be booked by someone else when we need him!

    Raju looked after our two catties whilst me and my partner were on holiday for two weeks last year. We booked Raju before we booked our holiday and we would never have gone away for so long if we hadn't had such an excellent cat sitter lined up! Raju is a total cat whisperer, even with our less sociable catty Fufu who only really likes to be around her mama and normally hisses at other humans if they try to get too close. When we have gone away for the weekend before, Fufu has been very sad and has sat at the door for most of the time waiting for her mama to get back, so it was very important to us that she felt happy and comfortable with Raju. Fufu also has to take capsules with her food because she is prone to UTIs, which Raju took care of excellently. Raju also did their flea and worm treatment whilst we were away, which is quite impressive because our other cat Pawpaw can tell when it's flea and worm time and will run away and hide under the dresser, and she's pretty fast.

    Raju checked in with us every other day online to reassure us that everything was fine at home and also sent adorable photos of him with Fufu and Pawpaw. Raju took amazing care of our cats and they were happy and obviously well cared for when we came back. In fact Fufu, who usually sulks with her mama after she comes home, was relaxed and happy to see us. Raju also very kindly took care of things in the house whilst we were away and our house was definitely tidier than when we left! I would definitely recommend Raju to other cat owners - he is exceptionally reliable, very careful with medicines, treatments and food and drink, and litter changing (he took a long list of everything on his phone to make sure he didn't miss anything), and all cats love him, even extremely particular cats like Fufu.

    Raju was so caring to my cat Cocu, who is now 14 years old. As an old cat, he needs a lot of attention, to be fed regularly and let him in and out of the flat with supervision. When I came back, my cat was very happy and well taken care of. That proves that he is very responsible and attentive. My place was also in immaculate condition. I will definitely try and book again Raju’s services as he is very trustable.
