Hi! I’m Berrak, a freelance artist based in Flingern, Düsseldorf, and a lifelong animal lover. I grew up surrounded by cats and dogs. My childhood cat, Honey, was with us for 18 years and was practically my sister. My dog Posty, who I lovingly call my son, stayed with my mum when I moved to Germany. She now has four cats and three dogs, so visits home always include plenty of animal time! I don’t currently have pets here in Germany, and I really miss their everyday companionship. Pet sitting is a lovely opportunity to spend time with animals while helping you feel comfortable knowing yours is cared for. Having looked after cats and dogs throughout my life, I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether your pet loves playing and exploring or prefers quiet company, I’m happy to follow their lead. My availability I mostly work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m generally available during the day and evenings, on weekdays and weekends, with exact times discussed before booking. Home visits Home visits usually last 30 minutes, with longer visits available by arrangement, including while you’re on holiday. They include feeding, fresh water, playtime, company, and following your pet’s usual care routine. Dog walking I offer walks of 30 minutes or one hour, depending on your dog’s needs. I live near two parks in Flingern, so there are nearby places for walks, sniffing, and exploring. I adapt the pace to your dog’s age, energy, and comfort. Daycare and overnight boarding at my home Your pet will have company, attention, playtime, rest, and walks as appropriate. There are no other pets living with me, so they’ll have a calm environment without resident animals. We’ll discuss feeding, sleeping arrangements, and their usual habits beforehand. House sitting at your home I can also stay overnight in your home so your pet can remain in familiar surroundings. We’ll agree on the length of the stay and my daily schedule before booking. I’ll follow your instructions for securing doors and windows, handling keys, and keeping your home safe. Because I work mostly from home, I can spend plenty of time with your pet. Any time I may need to go out—and how long your pet is comfortable being alone—will be discussed beforehand so we can make sure the arrangement suits them. Medication and updates I’m comfortable administering medication with clear instructions, provided we discuss your pet’s specific needs beforehand. I don’t offer training or grooming services. I’m also happy to send photos and updates during their care. I speak English, Turkish, and some German. I’d love to meet you and your furry friend!
