Teacher's Care for Your Pet! 🐾

Hi! I’m an educator who has always had a deep love and respect for nature and all living creatures. As a professional in education, patience, responsibility, structured care, and high attentiveness are built into everything I do. Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have had a dog since I was 3 years old—she was my best friend and was by my side until she passed away at the age of 19. When I lived in Turkey, I had two dogs, and I brought both of my sweet girls with me when I moved to the USA. Sadly, they have both crossed the rainbow bridge and are now our little angels. ❤️ Today, our family includes two little dogs and one sweet cat. I have been caring for pets since elementary school and have always shared a special connection with them. Back in Turkey, I actively helped many people adopt dogs, including helping the school where I worked adopt a campus pet. I truly believe animals are family, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and deeply loved is second nature to me. Why Choose Us for Your Pet? Constant Care & Attention: My husband works from home, and I work from home most of the time as well. This means there is almost always someone around to give your pets endless love, companionship, and attention. Professional Responsibility & Safety: With my educational background, strict adherence to feeding/walk routines, safety protocols, and individualized care come naturally to me. A Loving Home Away from Home: A friend encouraged us to try Rover, and we jumped at the opportunity simply because my husband and I both love animals so much. We treat every guest like our own family in a calm, welcoming, and stress-free environment. Peace of Mind: You will receive prompt responses, clear communication, and frequent photo/video updates so you always know your furry family member is happy and thriving. We can’t wait to welcome your sweet pet into our home! 🐶🐱✨

Duygu and I met years ago and instantly bonded over our love for animals, especially dogs. Over the years, I have relied on her advice and council for everything from health questions to international pet travel. She has a very calm energy and gentle touch that makes her a natural with dogs. I could not recommend her more!

Duygu is one of those people who genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond to make sure they are happy, healthy, and well cared for. She is incredibly knowledgeable about dogs, cats, and birds and understands that every pet has different needs and personality. She is very thoughtful about what pets eat and prefers high-quality, organic food whenever possible, paying close attention to ingredients and avoiding unnecessary chemicals. She also makes sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, attention, and affection. What really stands out about Duygu is how attentive she is. She notices the little things, takes the time to understand each pet’s routine and personality, and treats them with so much patience and love. She is responsible, dependable, and someone I would trust completely with a beloved pet. Any pet parent would be lucky to have Duygu caring for their furry or feathered family member!

I have known my sister all her life, and I have personally witnessed her deep love for animals, especially dogs, from a very young age. Her love for dogs has always been a natural and important part of her life. She grew up with dogs and developed a very strong bond with animals from an early age. Since her university years, she has had dogs of her own and has always taken great care of them in her home. Having lived with and cared for dogs for many years, she understands that looking after a dog requires much more than simply loving animals. It requires patience, responsibility, consistency, and a genuine understanding of their individual needs. Over the years in Turkey, she has also helped and rescued many stray animals. She has cared for dogs in need and made every effort to help them find safe and loving homes. I have always seen her approach animals with kindness, patience, and a strong sense of responsibility. What I particularly appreciate about her is that she cares not only about a dog’s basic needs, but also about their emotional well-being. She wants them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. She understands that every dog has its own personality and needs, and she always takes the time to get to know them and adapt to their individual character. Having known her throughout her life, I can confidently say that anyone leaving their dog in her care can feel completely at ease. I have personally seen how lovingly and responsibly she has cared for her own dogs, as well as the time and effort she has devoted to helping stray animals. For all these reasons, I would be very happy to recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, experienced, and trustworthy person to look after their dog.

My husband and I went on a 2 week vacation, and Duygu took care of our 6-month old puppy. Her and her husband were so great! We got regular text messages and pictures updating us on our puppy. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing that our puppy was in great hands while we were away. Duygu has such a gift, and loves all dogs! She is so incredible and I would 100% leave my dog with her again! I couldn’t recommend her enough!

Safety, trust & environment

I understand that every dog is different, and I adjust my approach based on each dog’s personality, needs, and comfort level. For example, I recently cared for a large-breed puppy who wasn’t used to playing with small dogs. To make sure everyone was comfortable and safe, I divided my home into separate areas so he could have his own space while my dogs had theirs. I also moved my workspace next to his area so I could spend more time with him throughout the day. Since he had a lot of puppy energy, I took him on walks more frequently than I normally would to help him get his energy out and keep him happy and relaxed. My goal is always to understand each pet individually and create a routine where they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

Pets

A typical day

It depends on the dog! Some dogs enjoy playing tug of war, while others prefer going for walks, playing fetch, or simply cuddling and relaxing together. I always pay attention to each pet’s personality and energy level so we can enjoy activities they genuinely like and feel comfortable doing.

I like to learn about each pet’s individual needs, personality, and routine before caring for them. It is important for me to know whether they experience anxiety, have any fears, or display behaviors I should be aware of. For example, I would want to know if they might try to climb onto a coffee table to reach food, feel afraid around other dogs, or react strongly to certain people, animals, or situations. Understanding these behaviors helps me create a safe, comfortable environment and provide care that is tailored to each pet.
