Pet care experience
I’ve taken care of many different animals, but mostly cats. At one point I was looking after 12 cats at the same time- best years of my life!! Almost half of the cats had disabilities and sicknesses. It was definitely a special and a loving experience. Back home, my neighbors, family and friends used to rely on me with their dogs/cats when they had to leave. In Chicago, I’ve been regularly looking after my friends’ pets, and taking neighbors' dog out for walks. From cleaning to exercise to playtime, I am always here for all the babbieeessss!!! Animals have the most special in my heart!
Reviews
Hande is awesome! She is our go-to for our cat when we're out of town, and we always know that he's in good hands!
Hande is amazing!! My cats absolutely loved their time with her. Will definitely be booking again!
She is the sweetest i bet moose didnt want to leave!
I feel so relieved when I'm away knowing my fur baby is in Hande's care! She is super easy to communicate with and sends lots of updates with sweet notes and the funniest mid-play action shots. It truly does feel like she cares about my cat just as much as I do, which is the biggest peace of mind a pet owner can have. I can't recommend her enough!!

Safety, trust & environment
I provide exceptional pet care both in my home and at my clients' homes. My partner and I reside in a spacious 2-bedroom home that offers a welcoming environment for pets. We have a friendly cat who gets along well with other animals, but rest assured, if your pet prefers solitude, we can easily accommodate their needs and provide a separate space just for them. 🥰 Our residence is conveniently located near expansive parks, including the Montrose Dog Beach, allowing ample opportunities for outdoor adventures and exercise for all pets in my care. When caring for pets at my clients' homes, I prioritize the utmost respect and adherence to their specific instructions, rules, and preferences. As a responsible and considerate individual, I am fully vaccinated and willing to take additional precautions such as wearing masks or any other necessary protective measures during my visits. Ensuring my clients' peace of mind and comfort is of paramount importance to me, as I believe in delivering the same level of care and professionalism that I would expect as a client myself.

When it comes to caring for your pet, whether a dog or a cat, it's important for me to know the following information ahead of time; medical needs, behavioral traits, exercise and activity preferences, socialization and interactions, exercise and activity preferences, and any emergency contacts.

A typical day
CATS: When it comes to caring for cats, I find immense joy in engaging them with interactive play. Playing with feathers, mice toys, little balls, or strings is not only entertaining for them but also incredibly rewarding for me. Interacting with cats and witnessing their natural instincts and playful behaviors is truly a delight. I believe in providing cats with plenty of mental and physical stimulation, ensuring they have a stimulating environment that keeps them active and engaged. Through play, I create a bond with the cats under my care while channeling their energy into positive and enriching activities. Moreover, I am passionate about showering cats with love, attention, and affection. Each feline companion deserves special care and understanding, and I am dedicated to providing a nurturing and comforting environment for them. In summary, playing with cats is one of my favorite things, and I genuinely enjoy connecting with them through interactive play. With an array of engaging toys and plenty of affection, I will ensure that your cat friend receives the attention, care, and love they deserve during their time with me. DOGS: I absolutely love engaging dogs in fun and exciting activities! Whether it's playing fetch, going on energizing walks, or enjoying a refreshing swim at the lake, I'm always ready to create memorable experiences for the pets under my care. Running around parks and indulging in their favorite games is a great way to keep them entertained and ensure they get their much-needed exercise. Additionally, I take great pleasure in giving showers to animals, as it helps keep them clean, comfortable, and happy. Hygiene is an essential aspect of pet care, and I ensure that each shower is a positive and enjoyable experience for them. As for special places to explore, I highly recommend Montrose Park, Montrose Beach, Lincoln Park, and Lake Shore. These locations offer beautiful surroundings and ample space for dogs to run, play, and socialize. It's a delight to witness their excitement as they explore new environments and encounter new sights and smells. Rest assured, during our time together, I will make it my priority to provide a diverse range of activities that cater to your dog's preferences and needs. Their happiness, well-being, and safety are always my top priorities.
