Pet Whisperer:Experienced Caregiver

10+ years of pet care expertise: senior care, and all-around love for furry friends! Experienced pet caregiver: Skilled in training puppies and providing specialized care for seniors. Trustworthy and skilled pet sitter: 10 years of experience with dogs of all breeds, including training and senior care. Dedicated pet lover with a decade of experience: Specializing in puppy training and attentive senior care. Seasoned pet care professional: Extensive experience in training puppies and providing exceptional senior care. I had the privilege of caring for Luna, an energetic and mischievous puppy. With her boundless energy and curiosity, I knew that training would be crucial for her development. Using positive reinforcement techniques, I taught Luna basic commands and helped her learn proper leash manners. Through consistency and patience, Luna transformed into a well-behaved and happy pup. My expertise in puppy training, coupled with a genuine love for pets, sets me apart as a caregiver who can guide young ones to become the best versions of themselves. I once cared for Max, a senior Golden Retriever with mobility issues and medication needs. Tailoring our walks, providing comfort, and administering his medication were key aspects of my specialized care. My genuine dedication to meeting unique pet needs sets me apart from other sitters, along with my experience in training puppies and providing senior care.

Gizem was fantastic! She helped us out last minute and was easy to communicate with. She even provided some pictures. Next time we are in town we won’t hesitate to contact her first to watch Jack.

Koda was safe and well-cared for during his extended time with Gizem. This was our first time using Rover for an extended stay and Gizem was the perfect caregiver for our dog. Koda is a rescue dog with anxiety and it was important to find someone caring and patient to board him. She took the extra time before Koda's extended stay to get to know him and reassured Koda that I would be coming back by allowing a 'test' overnight. Gizem was responsive, very communicative, and kept us updated with pics during his stay. I will definitely book with Gizem again. Koda sends his love!

I was out of town for 10 days and couldn’t take my fur baby with me. I’m so happy that Gizem was available. My Dottie absolutely loves her. She even allowed Dottie to sleep with her on her bed because it’s what she does at home. Gizem took such good care of my baby and sent plenty of pictures. I will definitely use her again. Thank you Gizem.

Gizem is wonderful and my baby Dottie loves her. Gizem is on time and is a great communicator, always letting me know when she’s on her way over. She sends photos their mapped walking route so I know where my baby has been. I’m so happy to have found her. Thank you so much Gizem!

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. This includes providing a clean environment, following a consistent routine for feeding and exercise, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I tailor my approach based on the specific services I offer, ensuring that each pet receives the care and support they need to thrive.

A typical day

I engage dogs in fun activities based on their interests, such as interactive play sessions and teaching new tricks. For walks, I have special places like dog parks and nature trails where they can socialize and enjoy the outdoors. Safety and individual preferences are always considered to make their time with me exciting and fulfilling.

Gathering important information about a dog ahead of time is crucial for their well-being. Key details include medical history, behavioral traits, feeding preferences, exercise needs, training level, and owner's contact information. This allows for personalized and attentive care tailored to the dog's specific needs.
