Information Tugce E. would like to know about your pet

Before a stay, I’d love to set a meet and greet so your dog can get to know my son and me! I also like to learn about their routine and activity level, and if they have any medical issues or behavioral tendencies I should be aware of.

A typical day

I usually walk around the neighborhood. We can also go to the dog park near our house or walk (or run) the Tobacco Trail! Or play the ball around the neighborhood.

Dog-lover, mostly home

Pet care experience

I am a dog lover! I grew up in a pet-friendly house and cannot imagine a home without a pet. My family has two rescue dogs, and I lived with a labrador for 15 years. And sadly we recently lost him. We love having dogs around. I am an Assistant Professor at NC State University and me and my husband mostly work from home. My neighborhood is also pet-friendly and quiet. We have a four-year-old who also grew up with dogs and knows how to behave around them. As long as your dog is good with kids they are always welcome in our home. I know dogs are family and your dog will be a part of our family too. I look forward to hosting your dog soon.

Tugce and family take very good care of Bella. We get daily updates with a calm looking dog. We have used Tugce as a sitter several times and will use her again.

Such a great caregiver for our dog, Luke. Got him out on a bunch of walks and sent a bunch of pics that we loved.

From our first meeting, our dog extremely happy to meet Tugce and her family. Our dog made herself right at home, and we felt like she was welcomed right in. We enjoyed receiving the updates and photos throughout the weekend. We would definitely consider having them watch our dog again!

Tugce and her family were wonderful with my dog Macklin. This was her first time watching him and the experience was very positive and left me feeling at ease during a long trip. She is flexible, communicative and took great care that im super appreciative of.
