I can dedicate time throughout the day for visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I understand how important consistency and routine are for pets, so I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual schedule and provide the care and attention they need while you’re away. I enjoy making pet care part of my daily routine and helping pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved.

Safety, trust & environment

I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your pets is a big responsibility. I treat every home with respect and follow your instructions carefully to keep your pets safe, comfortable, and stress-free. When caring for pets in their own home, I maintain their normal routines, including feeding schedules, playtime, walks, litter box care, and any specific instructions you provide. I pay close attention to their behavior and well-being so I can notice if something seems unusual. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is for animals to feel secure in their familiar environment. My goal is to provide calm, reliable care and make sure your pets feel loved while you’re away.

Caring for pets like my own

Pet care experience

I’m a lifelong animal lover and a proud pet parent with 16 years of experience caring for cats. Over the years, I’ve learned that every pet has their own unique personality, habits, and needs, and I truly enjoy building trust and making animals feel safe and comfortable. In addition to caring for my own cats, I have regularly helped friends with their dogs, including providing companionship, walks, playtime, and everyday care. I understand how important it is for pets to maintain their routines and feel loved while their owners are away. My background as a researcher has made me detail-oriented, responsible, and observant. I’m comfortable following specific care instructions, recognizing changes in behavior, and giving each pet the attention they deserve. Whether your furry friend is energetic, shy, older, or simply needs some extra love and company, I’m happy to provide patient and personalized care. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for.

Ugur is an outstanding, reliable, and compassionate pet caregiver! He and his wife have a deep, genuine reverence for all living creatures, which is evident in the gentle, thoughtful care they provide. Ugur has cat-sat my two cats every summer for two months at a time, and as a devoted cat owner himself, he knows exactly how to keep pets safe, happy, and well cared for. Beyond cats, his patient energy, active lifestyle, and deep empathy for animals make him equally well suited to give dogs the best care possible. Leaving your pets in Ugur’s hands provides total peace of mind, and any pet parent would be fortunate to have him!

Ugur is amazing with pets. He is kind, loving, and responsible; and did amazing with our german shepherd. She warmed up to Ugur immediately. They spent hours playing together, and she did not want to leave Ugur’s side even when we were in the room.

Ugur was fantastic with our dog from the very start. They connected immediately, like they'd known each other for years. He took her out for runs to burn off extra energy, played with her for hours, and even had her curled up next to him watching soccer games together. He also sent us the most adorable photos of our dog throughout the visit, which we loved getting. It's clear Ugur genuinely loves animals and treats them like family, not just a job. He's responsible, attentive, and so much fun that our dog gets excited just seeing him. I'd recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter.

Ugur took care of my cat Panda while I was away, and I couldn't have asked for anyone better. You can tell right away that he genuinely loves animals. He has two cats himself and they absolutely adore him. He's basically a cat whisperer. He followed all my instructions, was always on time, and kept sending me pictures and updates, which I really appreciated. It made being away from Panda so much easier because I knew she was happy and in good hands. I'd happily recommend Ugur to anyone looking for a pet sitter. He's reliable, caring, and someone you can trust with your pets without thinking twice.
