Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m an animal lover with a heart full of love for all creatures big and small! As a dedicated vegan, I believe in spreading kindness and joy to all living beings, and that includes your precious pets. Your furry friends aren’t just pets to me – they’re family! I am a visual artist/painter and do my work from home. With my super flexible schedule, I can give your pets all the attention and care they need. Whether your dog is up for an energetic walk, a leisurely stroll, or a fun playtime session, I’m ready to make it happen! I’m all about making sure each pet feels special and loved. But wait, there’s more! I’m not just a dog person – I adore cats and other animals too! Got a kitty who needs some cuddles? I’m there! Need someone to give your pet their medication? No problem! I’ve got you covered. I’m committed to creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for your pets. I’ve got experience with all kinds of animals, and I’m always ready to provide the best care possible. Plus, I know how important it is for you to stay connected with your pets, so I’ll keep you updated with lots of photos and fun stories about their adventures. I’ve also watched all of Cesar Millan’s training videos and shows, and I incorporate his teachings into my care routine. I believe in providing calm, assertive leadership and using positive reinforcement to ensure your dog feels balanced and happy. From understanding body language to maintaining a structured routine, I apply Cesar’s techniques to create a harmonious environment for your pet. I can’t wait to meet your amazing pets and shower them with love and care. Let’s make sure your furry (or not-so-furry) friends have the best, stress-free time ever while you’re away!

I reached out on short notice needing a sitter for my Belgian Malinois mix and honestly wasn’t sure who’d be up for it, mals are a lot. High energy, smart, need real exercise and mental stimulation or they get destructive/anxious. Derya didn’t just tolerate that, they clearly got it. My dog came home tired in the best way and completely unstressed, which tells me they were actually engaged and working with her energy instead of just containing it. She also sent photos and videos constantly throughout the visit, I always knew exactly what she was up to and could tell she was genuinely having a good time, not just being watched. That kind of communication is huge, especially when you’re booking last minute and a little anxious about leaving a dog like this with someone new. On top of that, they pulled it together on very short notice without missing a beat communicative, reliable, and clearly experienced with working breed temperaments, not just easy lapdogs. If you’ve got a dog that’s “too much” for the average sitter, this is who you want. Already planning to book again
