Dog Boarding

Valentina, 02-11-2022

We are so grateful Cihan to you for handling our dog so well and making sure that she gets the best of what she wants. You put so much time into all her activities like no one would ever do (thanks a lot for sharing a lot of pictures with us). You have a vibe that dogs start liking you as they see you. Your qualities as a pet sitter are admirable and you have taken so good care of our pet that we cannot settle down for anyone else other than you. Thanking you for being the best pet sitter ever we have met so far…

Naz watched our dog Silky for 5 days while we traveled. Her love and care for Silky was apparent from the moment they met and the day I picked her up. It was so reassuring to see the pictures she sent of their time together, and you can tell from every picture that Silky was being treated like a beloved family member :) What more could you want from a pet sitter? Naz even went out to get food and clean up bags for Silky because I forgot my bag of items for her in my rush to get to the airport. If you want a caring, truly loving, responsible pet sitter, Naz is a five star choice!
