DE: 5/5 Sterne - Außergewöhnliche Katzenbetreuung und Seelenfrieden Wir hätten uns keine bessere Katzensitterin für unsere zwei Katzen wünschen können, während wir in Polen waren. Von Anfang bis Ende zeigte Ekin höchste Professionalität und echte Fürsorge für unsere Haustiere. Was sie wirklich auszeichnete, war ihre außergewöhnliche Kommunikation. Sie schickte uns tägliche Updates mit zahlreichen Fotos und Videos, sodass wir unsere Katzen glücklich und gut versorgt sehen konnten. Sie ging sogar noch einen Schritt weiter und dokumentierte Sicherheitsmaßnahmen wie das Sichern von Fenstern und Türen, was uns während unserer Reise völlige Seelenruhe gab. Ihre Aufmerksamkeit für Details war bemerkenswert - von der Beibehaltung der Routinen unserer Katzen bis hin zur Information über unsere WhatsApp-Gruppe. Wir kamen nach Hause und fanden unsere Katzen entspannt und zufrieden vor, und unser Zuhause genau so, wie wir es verlassen hatten. Wir würden Ekin absolut wieder buchen und empfehlen sie jedem wärmstens, der eine zuverlässige, fürsorgliche und kommunikative Tiersitterin sucht. Sie hat wirklich alles gegeben! EN: 5/5 Stars - Exceptional Cat Care and Peace of Mind We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter for our two cats while we were away in Poland. From start to finish, Ekin demonstrated the highest level of professionalism and genuine care for our pets. What truly set her apart was her exceptional communication. She sent us daily updates with numerous photos and videos, allowing us to see our cats happy and well-cared for. She even went the extra mile by documenting safety measures like securing windows and doors, which gave us complete peace of mind during our trip. Her attention to detail was remarkable - from maintaining our cats’ routines to keeping us informed through our WhatsApp group. We returned home to find our cats relaxed and content, and our home exactly as we left it. We would absolutely book Ekin again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitter. She truly went above and beyond!

We were extremely happy with our experience with Elena as our cat sitter. During our vacation she took excellent care of our two cats, providing daily updates with photos and videos that kept us reassured. What we appreciated most was her professionalism in handling an emergency with one of our cats: Elena immediately identified the problem, coordinated with the veterinarian, and administered the prescribed medication. If she hadn’t recognized the issue in time, the consequences could have been very serious, and for this we are especially grateful. On top of that, she kindly came over multiple extra times just to make sure our sick cat was properly cared for during the emergency. Her dedication, reliability, and genuine love for animals were evident in everything she did. We wholeheartedly recommend Elena to anyone looking for a trustworthy and professional cat sitter.
