Xiao was our first choice and remains our only one. We were charmed by her honesty and openness, as well as by her knowledge and skills. While reading her description, I had the impression that I was partially reading the story of my cat and me. I thought I had read all the books and watched all the documentaries about cats, but it turned out that after all this time I wasn't even halfway there! Xiao shows understanding and patience, and does not judge in advance, she gives every cat equal opportunities and time. After meeting her, it turned out that we had a completely different cat! Our picky cat got along with her immediately and accepted her as a pack of her team. Going on a trip and leaving your family member with someone like Xiao, with whom your pet feels even better than with you!, is not only a peace of mind, it is a reason for jealousy. Xiao is a true cat whisperer, and we wouldn't be surprised if she had the same attitude towards other animals. We will definitely use her cat sitting services more than once in the future and we recommend her to absolutely everyone. Familiarization meetings before departure, care during absence, meetings after return, carefully prepared plan, learning, fun, up-to-date news, photos, videos. Xiao is a very well-mannered, very high cultured person who is full of respect. And we will stick with our cat with her sessions, because they completely change the face and quality of our cat's life.

I recently had the pleasure of having Alicja to take care of my cats, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. She was absolutely perfect with them. It is clear that she is not only passionate about animals but also highly conscientious and attentive to their needs. Throughout her time with my cats, she ensured they were well-fed, entertained and safe. She provided daily updates, with photos and videos, which gave me great peace of mind knowing that my pets were in such capable hands. It is evident that she genuinely cares for their well-being. I wholeheartedly recommend Alicja to anyone in need of a reliable and loving cat sitter and I will definitely be reaching out to her again for future pet sitting needs. You can trust her completely to take excellent care of your pets! :)
