I grew up in Turkey where the streets are full of stray dogs and cats. Despite my parents' objections, I would sneak food under the table at restaurants. Back then, having pets in the house was considered "dirty", which was unfortunate for kids like me who loved animals. I moved to the US in the year 2000 and have had 7 dogs since then, and a rescue turtle. In the last 9+ years, I have been offering pet and house-sitting, and absolutely love it. If animals disappeared from the planet one day, the world would be a much more difficult place to live. I believe that animals are put here as messengers of unconditional love and acceptance. I truly love animals. If you hire me, I promise you, your beloved pet will be taken care of to the highest degree. I consider it my service to humanity. :) Thank you for the opportunity to get to know, love, and take care of your pet. With all my heart. Banu I am self-employed and set my schedule. I can keep up with all their needs -scheduled or otherwise. Caring for them and being with them is my priority. I do not offer pet boarding because of my rental agreement. It does not matter to me whether you have a yard. I will make the best of the natural environment of your pets.
