Arkadiusz always left his dog, Stella, under the care of his family during his trips. However, since he moved from Katowice to Gdańsk with his family, he had to come up with another way to find a temporary guardian for his bitch. The holiday was approaching and a trip with the dog was out of the question. This is how he found the website animalhotels.com.
The doubts were mainly from the children and the wife. I took this task upon myself ( Arkadiusz).
Putting the dog in the care of a stranger was something new for Arkadiusz and his family. There were doubts that they had to overcome due to the upcoming departure. Together, they decided to choose a guardian and, as Arkadiusz jokes, it was a kind of casting. Looking through the offers, they came across Natalia, the petsitter. She accepted dogs in her home together with her partner.
I always suggest familiarization meetings - a walk with the dog - it is also a form of calming down and ensuring that the dogs will feel good at my place. (Natalie)
Arkadiusz and the family liked Natalia's offer because "it was natural and did not promise anything." He drew attention to the friendly photos of the petsitter, where there were dogs that had already been taken care of by Natalia. He told us that his intuition told him that she would be the perfect petsitter for Stella and he decided to hire her without an introduction meeting.
There is often this thought - how is the dog feeling, is it good and is it treated properly. I try to spare the owners these nerves and they get a photo and short information from me every day how the dogs feel at my place. (Natalie)
When the dog was taken to the petsitter, Arkadiusz met Natalia for the first time. A few minutes conversation with her and her partner was enough for him to dispel his doubts and enjoy his vacation. As he told us, they received daily messages about Stella's well-being and many photos showing how sweetly she was resting in the company of her new friend. They saw he was in good hands.
The family has used Natalia's service twice already. In January, when the female dog was coming home after an 8-day stay with the babysitter, it was hard for them to part.
We are already planning a vacation with Mrs. Natalia. (Arkadiusz)
I love that I discovered this site. I had already suggested to my friends that I would be happy to take care of their dogs, so when I discovered animalhotels, I felt that I was in the right place. The site is very intuitive and I am sure that everyone will find it. All bookings, messages or reviews – they are immediately displayed on my phone, so I am up to date with everything. I'm waiting for the phone app! (Natalie)
