About Me

Cat sitter in Twickenham

Hello! My name is Nahema, I am an Imperial College graduate in Biotechnology and I've just finished my PhD at Royal Holloway University in Egham.

I come from Bologna, Italy, where I had to leave my cat, Mastro Ciliegia, when moving here to London for university. Unfortunately he passed away before I could bring him here, and I miss him terribly. I am now a happy dog owner, but I still have a cat-shaped hole in my life which makes cat-sitting perfect for me!

I have taken care of Mastro since I found him at a highway tollbooth near Bologna, in 2010, when he was just two-month-old. When I was in Italy, I would clean his litter, brush him and refill his water every morning, give him food twice a day, and play with and cuddle him as much as possible. When he was one-year-old, he was neutered and got an infection, so that I had to administer him antibiotic pills and sodium chloride solution drip, and I can do the same with your cat if needed. He also wouldn’t eat, so that I had to take extra care of him and make him comfortable before I gave him food. It took a few years before he could emotionally recover from all this, and he never really trusted people he didn't know after that. I believe that this experience has taught me how to take care of and love also cats that are not that easy to approach offhand.

I have taken care of other cats as well, such as my uncle’s cat Hugo, a beautiful warm milk chocolate Burmese, and my best friend's red European Shorthair, Tigro, while they were away. I have also been using this platform for a while, which allowed me to look after 22 furry friends over the years! It gave my so much joy, and now that I’m done with my PhD, I’m excited to be back for cat sitting.

Having lived away from my cat I understand the need of being updated on how he/she is: if you want, I can send you pics/updates of your cat while you are away, just as my mum did for me when I left!

I live on Twickenham High Street, but I have a car so I can travel reasonable distances. Please provide your postcode in your message if possible.

I hope to hear from you soon!

    Nahema was very reliable, friendly and great with the cats. I'd definitely ask her to look after them again.

    Nahema looked after our cat beautifully and kept us informed while we were away. She was very helpful and a pleasure to deal with.

    Hahema is brilliant cat sitter. I just arrived from my holiday and noticed that Lucky’s cat litter is sparkling clean, he is playful and healthy as usual. Nahema was friendly from the day we met until the end of her service. She is professional and organised. I’m very happy with the service, definitely will contact her again.

    Nahema took care of Simba wonderfully with daily updates. She also went beyond the immediate work to clean up some plants after he was too rowdy.

    I had the impression that she's not the type of person who spends the absolute minimum time required with the cat which I thoroughly appreciate. I will definitely reach out to Nahema the next time I'm out of town.

    Nahema was a great catsitter to my boys! She is very thoughtful, considerate and friendly. Communication was also super: I received regular updates and photos whilst away as agreed. I can only recommend!

    Nahema is a caring and dedicated cat sitter. She went above and beyond to keep Mia entertained and stop her feeling lonely while I was away. She spent a lot of time with her, played with her and kept her company. She took good care of the litter cleaning duties. She also kept me updated everyday on how Mia was doing.

    Nahema...What a godsend! First time using this service, let alone letting someone I don't know watch my precious sweet kitty girl. Nahema was the perfect person for the job. She was warm, nice, and loved our kitty from the second she met her. I got daily updates and even pictures. Will be reaching out to her again when our next holiday rolls around.

    I could not ask for a better sitter than Nahema. She is professional, tidy, and most importantly great with Fireball. Upon arriving home, Fireball seemed relaxed and happy, like we were never gone :)

    Nahema was lovely and did a great job looking after Vali and sent daily updates and photos. Would highly recommend her and will definitely book her to sit again next time we are away 😊

    Nahema was fantastic when looking after our cat, in fact the cat appeared far friendlier with Nahema than she normally does with us! Nahema was really friendly, and was happy to meet with us beforehand as well as visit again to collect keys etc. She sent several updates and photos so we could see how everything was going, and I will definitely be happy to ask her to cat-sit again.

    Nahema was absolutely amazing! I was originally very nervous using this site, as my home is private and my cats are like my children. But Nahema made me feel at ease and did a wonderful job, she kept me updated when she visited my cats, and sent me lots of lovely pictures, - which i must add that they looked as if they were in love with her! Thank you, and I will defo be going back to Nahema for my next holiday xx
