I'm a 31 years old musician and events organiser from Istanbul.
I'm super passionate about animals and have had the honour to be the human to a Siamese cat for about 7 years before she said her goodbyes. Since I grew up in Istanbul, a city of cats (and dogs too), I have rescued countess injured/unhealthy/orphaned cats and dogs throughout my life.
I've petsitted tens of different cats and dogs to help my friends and I've been doing it professionally for a while. I believe one of my strongest futures as a person is emphaty and I often can 'see through' the being (humans or animals :)) that I'm interacting with, so I'm very confident about the work. 'Difficult' pets are no problem for me, since I always like to challenge myself to get along with difficult ones and slowly and delicately work my way into their lives and comfort zones.
I'm happy to walk your dog(s) and/or spend time with and care for any type of pet at your place. I can also host cats at my place. I have experience with administering oral medication to dogs and cats, so I'm willing to help you with that.
Since I'm a freelancer, I manage my own time, so we can decide on exact times together. I'd be willing to water your plants and bring in your mail. I would like to spend sbout 30 minutes in home visits. Longer stays could also be possible, but then I would like to discuss the compansation.
Dog walks would take between 30 to 60 minutes and preffered location will be a nearby park. If your pet has a favorite game to play, just let me know and I'll be more than happy to facilitate that and be good company.
I'm also happy to do house sittings if you're not at home for a while. I'm often flexible during weekdays and I can stay over with your pet. Up to a couple of days would generally be possible and you can contact me if you're planning to be away for longer periods and we can see if it could be arranged. During my stay, I'll make sure to oblige with general safety measures and specific ones as communicated by the hosts.
I do not expect the pets to be vaccinated necessariliy.
Please feel free to contact me, we can have a phone call and maybe a quick coffee to meet each other, before booking me.
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
We love Yanki!! Great communicator and great care of our furry guy. All the pictures we received let us know that Boo! was living it up while we were away. Couldn’t say enough good things!
Yanki was super nice, available, constantly updating me with pictures and texts. I would totally recommend him!
