As a university student, my schedule is structured but more flexible than a full-time job. I’m available for morning walks and pet care early in the day, and after 7–8 PM I have plenty of time to give pets the attention they need, whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company. I’m also open to overnight stays when needed. Pet care is already a natural part of my routine thanks to my own pets, so it easily fits into my daily life.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the animals and the space with great respect. I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or medication, so they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I ensure that the home is left clean and tidy, just as I found it, and always communicate clearly with the owner. My goal is to make both pets and their humans feel completely at ease.

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for animals since I was a child. I grew up with a dog and currently live with four cats, aged 2, 8, 10, and 15. One of them has thyroid disease, so I’m familiar with administering medication and supporting pets with special health needs. I’m very comfortable in multi-pet households and attentive to their individual personalities and routines. Growing up in Turkey, I regularly interacted with groups of stray dogs—feeding, comforting, and playing with them. This experience taught me how to read animal behavior and build trust with dogs of all temperaments. In addition to personal experience, I’ve also volunteered at a sea turtle rescue hospital, where I assisted with feeding, cleaning, and medical care. I worked both in the field, helping hatchlings reach the sea and protecting nests, and in the intensive care unit. I’ve also helped care for my friend’s two dogs during extended visits, taking full responsibility for walks, feeding, and occasional bathing. Whether it’s providing affection, daily routines, or special care, I treat every animal like family.

Gizem is the perfect house and pet sitter. She took care of everything (1 dog + 2 cats) and made sure we knew how everyone was doing by keeping us up to date with pictures and videos. 100% recommended and Gizem wil be our first choice next time!

As Gizem’s mother, I’ve watched her grow up with a deep love and compassion for animals. Even as a young girl, she would care for stray animals in our neighborhood, feeding them and making sure they were okay. She often played with and took care of stray dogs, treating them as if they were her own. At home, she has always been gentle, responsible, and attentive with our pets. I truly believe she’s a wonderful caregiver for any animal.

I’ve known Gizem since childhood, and she’s always been surrounded by animals. Her family has always had pets, and right now she has four cats—one of which they’ve cared for over 15 years! When we were little, she also had a dog for several years. She’s loving, patient, and truly cares about animals. You can absolutely trust her with your pet!

I’ve known Gizem for several years and have always been impressed by her gentle and caring nature, especially when it comes to animals. She has a natural connection with them and is always the first to stop and help a stray cat or dog. I’ve seen her care for her own pets with such love and responsibility, and I know she treats every animal as if it were her own. She’s exactly the kind of person you’d want looking after your pet.
