Pet care experience
Loving pet care with med student
I’m an artist & medical student living in Albany, and I’ve always loved being around animals. I grew up in İstanbul, Türkiye with both a dog and a cat. Spending time with dogs and cats brings me so much joy, and pet sitting has become a really nice way for me to stay connected to that part of my life. I have had a cat for 16 years (she lives in Istanbul), and now I am in the phase where I feel ready to have a dog! Growing up we fostered a golden-labrador puppy for 3-4 months and it was one of my favorite experiences ever. I have been hoping to get a dog for many years but as a medical student it has been hard. So I decided to start out filling this wish by taking them on walks, having them over at home and cuddling them as much as they let me. I will take your dog on walks, runs if they are feeling up for it, play around in the grass yard outside our apartment. And will send you many photo updates throughout the day! I enjoy spending time outside, going on hikes or sitting in the sunshine, so as much as the weather allows would love to go on hikes with your dog if you would be interested. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities. I try to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable while their owner is away. Your pet will always be treated with kindness, patience, and lots of affection while they’re with me. I speak Turkish, and a little bit of Spanish. Lived in Oaxaca, Mexico as part of a medical rotation in November and also got to enjoy their love for dogs :)

Ratings and reviews
Yagmur was so kind and took such good care of my puppy. Thank you!!

Yagmur and her partner took excellent care of my special needs dog. The steps up to their apartment were a bit challenging for him, but they managed him beautifully. I am so appreciative of the care that provided to him.
Yagmur is a lovely caregiver.
While visiting the Bay Area, we were lucky to find Yagmur. Montague had fun daycare visits with Yagmur for a few days. She kept us up-to-date during his stays with her, sending photos regularly and providing other updates on his other activities. We got a bit late picking him up one evening, Yagmur was the most accommodating about it. We highly recommend her for your dogs daycare or boarding needs. It was absolutely lovely for us and we would use Yagmur’s services again.

I’m so thankful that Yagmur took care of my puppy. She was kind, communicative, attuned to my puppy’s schedule, and patient. My puppy came home relaxed, tired and calm, which is amazing for an energetic 8 month old. My puppy was so well cared for. Thank you, Yagmur!

Yagmur is awesome. She was so communicative and told me how my boy was doing throughout his stay. He is going for an overnight next week.

Schedule
Im very flexible until the month of June and am working from home most days. That is why I would love to spend as much time with dogs as possible. At home I usually write, read, teach, cook or paint. Would love to have a fluffy friend to join me in my days.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a calm, clean home on the third floor with my boyfriend, who is a PhD student so he is home often as well. We have a nice balcony and access to two nice big yards full of grass great for walks or runs. There are two rooms in our apartment and happy to have your pet in all parts of the house except our bedroom.
A typical day
We will play fetch, explore Albany bulb and the area nearby. I will send you phot updates from the beach and the parks. I can also let them run freely in the fenced yard outside my apartment. I am very flexible to whatever you would like.
Prices include all fees.
