Istanbul Pet Lover in Seattle
Pet care experience
I'm Gulcan, your friendly pet sitter with a special touch! My love for animals isn't just a passion—it's a way of life, especially coming from Istanbul, where we treat cats like royalty. I've got a knack for connecting with cats, understanding their quirky ways, and making sure they feel utterly pampered. But my skills don't stop there! I'm also great with dogs, whether it's teaching puppies the basics with a smile or giving older dogs the gentle care they deserve. Here in Seattle, I've embraced every pet's unique personality, ensuring they're happy, loved, and always feeling at home. So, if you're looking for someone who combines heart, expertise, and a little bit of international flair, I'm your go-to pet sitter!

Gulcan has looked after our dog on several occasions. She is incredibly responsible and genuinely loves dogs. We never had to worry while our dog was in her care."
I wholeheartedly recommend Gulcan for any pet sitting needs. She provided outstanding care for our cat while we were on holiday and business trips, demonstrating her genuine love for animals and attention to detail. Gulcan kept our cat's routine, ensured cleanliness, and provided regular, reassuring updates. Her ability to connect with our pet and maintain our home's security was impressive. Trustworthy and caring, Gulcan is an ideal pet sitter who truly prioritizes the well-being of the animals she looks after.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client's, creating a safe, trusting, and comfortable environment is my top priority. In my home, I ensure the space is pet-proofed, with no small objects or harmful substances within reach. I establish a cozy area specifically for the pet, complete with their bed, toys, and water, making sure they feel secure and at home. I adhere to the pet's routine as closely as possible to maintain their sense of normalcy and comfort. In a client's home, I respect their space and maintain cleanliness, ensuring the pet's living areas are tidy and safe. I follow the owner's instructions meticulously, from feeding schedules to favorite playtime activities, reinforcing the pet's routine in their familiar environment. I provide regular updates to the owners, building trust through transparency and demonstrating that their beloved pet is in caring and competent hands. For both settings, I prioritize getting to know the pet, understanding their likes, dislikes, and any specific needs or behaviors. This personalized approach fosters a bond of trust and ensures that the pet feels loved and at ease. My goal is to ensure that the pet's experience is as enjoyable and stress-free as possible, mirroring the love and attention they receive from their owners.

Information Gulcan T. would like to know about your pet
Before sitting a client's pet, it's crucial to gather comprehensive information to ensure the best care possible. This includes understanding the pet's health history, dietary restrictions, and any medication requirements. Knowing their behavior, temperament, and any triggers or fears helps tailor the care to their comfort level and safety. Familiarity with their routine, from feeding times to favorite activities, ensures consistency and reduces stress. It's also important to know their socialization comfort with other animals and people, emergency contact information, and the veterinarian's details. This thorough understanding enables a sitter to provide a safe, enjoyable, and personalized experience for each pet.
A typical day
A typical day with your pet is filled with engaging activities tailored to their preferences and energy levels. After a hearty breakfast and some cuddle time, we might go for a refreshing walk in the neighborhood or a nearby park, where they can explore and play. For dogs, this could include fetch or agility games, while cats might enjoy interactive toys or a stimulating puzzle feeder. Post-exercise, there's time for a restful break, followed by some indoor play or training sessions to keep their minds active. Depending on the pet's social nature, we might have a playdate or simply enjoy one-on-one bonding time. The day winds down with a relaxing evening routine, ensuring your pet is content, exercised, and ready for a cozy night's sleep, all while receiving constant love and attention to make them feel at home.

I'm currently working as hybrid. Sometimes I should go to customer's address and office for meetings. I have my car so my transportation is easy. I'm a morning person, woke up at 5 am and going to gym to workout or outside running.
