  Description

  Hi! Emilia here.
  
  I URGENTLY NEED HELP MAY 8-12!
  Come stay in the suburbs of Warsaw and keep company my two foster cats. DM me if interested!
  
  I am happy to invite travellers when I am away myself to come and take care of my cat or when I am at home - to help me around and practice languages.
  
  When I am away:
  The central part of my life is my 9-year-old cat Tiara and a 4-year old dog Sputnik who are waiting for you to come take care of them!
  
  I am looking for an individual or a couple who would like to spend some time in the 2nd half of February in Warsaw - the capital of Poland. I might take some time off and I'm looking for somebody who truly likes animals and would like to take care of Tiara & Spu.
  
  When I am home:
  Can you cook healthy vegan dishes and don't mind some light housework? Maybe you speak French, Spanish or Persian? Come visit me when I'm home and help me with those! :)

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  You can get to know Warsaw and its food, sights and people. I will be happy to give you some tips and recommendations about the city. Even now, during these weird times, there are a lot of things happening: bustling restaurant, free open-air cinemas, fairs with local food, etc.
  
  I will give you my account for city bikes and you'll be able to use them for free.

  Help

  When I'm away:
  
  I am looking for somebody who is responsible and thanks to whom I won't be stressed during my holidays. Experience with cats is crucial - I need somebody who understands a cat is an independent being and might not want to do what you want her to do (most probably she never will ;)). And someone who is not afraid of dogs, of course!
  
  TIARA: I need you to give a pill to my cat twice a day (very easy - just wrap some food around it) and food half an hour after that. I will need you to prepare the food for her once or twice as it's enough for a few days. She needs to have turkey cooked and potato puree made (she's a picky kitty and eats like a princess ;))
  Besides, I'd ask you to clean her litter tray once or twice a day She is shy with strangers so she won't want to play with you and will be happy left alone. However, she does love some people so maybe she will be fond of you, too ;)
  
  SPUTNIK: He is a very happy and easy-going dog. He loves cuddling with everyone besides me :) and loves walks and playing with other dogs. He needs to go out 3-4 times a day and eat twice a day. He can be left at home for up to 8-9 hours but if you plan the whole day out, I can ask my neighbours to take him out, too. He barks at strangers, older males wearing black clothes (probably this type of a person kept him on a chain before) and at bicycles sometimes. But he is not aggressive in any way.
  
  
  Then, there will also be watering plants. I would also ask you to keep the place clean during your stay.
  
  
  
  When I'm home:
  
  You can just stay here (a separate bedroom for guests), enjoy Warsaw and help me around the house a bit. If you can cook vegan, it's great - I hate cooking. You don't mind to vaccum, mop the floors or clean around a bit? Also great. Even better if you speak one of the aforementioned languages :)
  
  
  All together it's barely any work and in exchange you get a free flat in a calm neighbourhood yet with easy commute to the city center. Keep in mind, I will surely want to have a video chat before saying the final "yes".

  My animals / pets

  Tiny (4 years)

  Ryszarda (7 years)

  Lisek (16 years)

  Punio (7 years)

  Punio is a 21kg alpha male who loves to assert dominance. If he was human, he would be a right wing catholic white straight male fighting for his disappearing rights.
  But when he realizes you are no threat, he is the loveliest dog on Earth: cuddly walk-lover with a huge appetite for life, but also just huge appetite.
  Adopted from the shelter 5 years ago he is now getting spoiled to the breaking point. He can get a bit reactive during walks at times.
