I work from home and spend most of my time there. That means your furry family gets consistent attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day, not just scheduled check-ins. Walks, feeding, playtime, and quiet rest time all happen on a regular schedule based on what they’re used to. I plan my day around their needs, whether that means morning walks, midday activity, or a calm evening routine. On a weekly level, I keep my schedule flexible so I can adapt to different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Some need more activity, others prefer a peaceful environment. I adjust easily. Caring for them isn’t something I “fit in.” It becomes part of my day.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for your furry family in my home, I focus on creating a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where they can feel safe and relaxed. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedule, walks, playtime, rest, and any special instructions you provide. They get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day since I work from home. When caring for them in your home, my priority is keeping everything familiar and stress-free. I follow your instructions carefully, maintain their normal routine, and respect your space. I make sure they are fed on time, exercised as needed, and given lots of care and attention. In both cases, I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how they’re doing. My goal is simple. Keep them comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

Information Özlem B. would like to know about your pet

To make sure your furry family feels comfortable and well cared for, I like to learn a few important things ahead of time. Any medical needs, medications, or allergies I should know about. Feeding schedule, food preferences, and dietary restrictions. Personality traits, fears, or anything that may cause stress or anxiety. Daily routine, including walks, bathroom habits, sleep schedule, and favorite activities. How they do around new people or other dogs or cats. Your veterinarian’s information and an emergency contact, just in case. The more I understand their habits and needs, the easier it is to keep them happy, relaxed, and on their normal routine.

A typical day

A typical day depends on the personality and energy level of the dog or cat I’m caring for, but it usually starts with a calm morning routine. Morning potty break or litter check, fresh water, breakfast, and a walk or some light play to start the day. Since I work from home, they stay nearby and have company throughout the day. For active dogs, we’ll go on longer walks, play fetch, or have structured playtime. For more relaxed or senior pets, it might be shorter walks, gentle play, and lots of quiet companionship. Throughout the day there’s a balance of activity and rest. I pay attention to their energy and adjust. Some love interactive toys or basic training games. Others just want to curl up next to me. In the evening, we wind down with another walk or play session, dinner, and calm time so they feel settled and secure before bedtime. The goal is simple. Keep them engaged, comfortable, and happy while sticking to their normal routine as much as possible.

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Ozlem 🙂 I’ve loved animals my whole life. I got my first dog when I was 5, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I work from home, so your furry family won’t be left alone for long hours. They’ll have company, attention, and a calm, safe environment throughout the day. Some love to play and stay active. Others just want to relax and feel secure. I follow their personality and stick to their routine. While you’re away, you’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing they’re happy and doing well. I treat them like family, with kindness and real attention. If you’d like, we can schedule a meet and greet first so everyone feels comfortable.

Highly recommend! Ozlem did a great job caring for our senior dog, who can be challenging at times and has a fairly specific routine. She was responsible, responsive, and communicative throughout the stay. She made sure he received all of his medications and was very understanding of the setup and accommodations we have in place for him. It gave us peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. We would absolutely book with her again.

Ozlem was wonderful! Very communicative and responsive. We felt very comfortable leaving our pup in her care.

I couldn’t have asked for a better pet/house sitter! I was nervous leaving my baby, but Ozlem gave me so much peace of mind while I was on vacation by sending frequent messages and photos throughout the day, letting me know Luna was happy and well cared for. She kept the house very clean and even offered to water my plants and bring in deliveries. Such a sweet, thoughtful person—I would absolutely recommend her and would book again in a heartbeat.
