My name is Pinar and I am from Istanbul, Turkey. I was working as a physical therapist in Turkey before I moved to Iowa City (Iowa) 5 years ago.

I would like to take care of your adorable pets. You'll be able to enjoy your travels knowing your pets (cats, dogs, birds) and your home are being well taken care of.

I'm available even if your travel dates are flexible. I am in the process of getting a work permit (physical therapy). Recently, I am studying for exams at home, so your pets won't be alone all day long. My husband, Ibrahim (whom I sometimes travel with), and I have been taking care of some cats in Iowa City for 3 years. I can provide the contact information of my reference whenever you want.

I'll take your pets on plenty of walks, feed them on time, plus give any medications it might take. And I give good belly rub! I also love plants and I' ll take care of them if you want.

We are caring, non smoker, responsible, super clean, trustworthy and mature couple who love traveling. Since I am a physical therapist, I am able to do pet massage that may reduce stress, anxiety and pain. It is beneficial both of physical and mental health of your pets.

To check out my videos via YouTube, please contact me for details.

Furthermore I have experience with cat care since I was born. Because my hometown (Istanbul) is famous for its cats. Please contact me for the link if you wish to see an rewarded documentry about cats in Istanbul.

"Hundreds of thousands of Turkish cats roam the metropolis of Istanbul freely. For thousands of years they've wandered in and out of people's lives, becoming an essential part of the communities that make the city so rich. Claiming no owners, the cats of Istanbul live between two worlds, neither wild nor tame -and they bring joy and purpose to those people they choose to adopt. In Istanbul, cats are the mirrors to the people, allowing them to reflect on their lives in ways nothing else could"

Pinar and Ibrahim were great. Our cats and plants were all doing well upon our return.
Pinar and Ibrahim were the best! They traveled to be at our home over the holidays which was amazing. They always kept in contact and were always on time. Once here we immediately liked and trusted them. They took wonderful care of our two cats. They sent vidos and pictures every day. They went above and beyond. They made sure everything was clean and neat. They left our home spotless. They are wonderful caring and kind people who love pets. I can't say enough good about them. They truely ...

Pinar and Ibraham are wonderful, kind people! They took wonderful care of my home and my cat, Kica. It was comforting to see regular updates via videos and pictures of my cat having a great time playing. Pinar is a great communicator, and both were very respectful of the space. They also kindly watered my plants, which was very much appreciated. Thank you both, it was wonderful to meet you!
Outstanding house sitters. We had Pinar & Ibrahim house sit for us for 12 days - taking care of our three cats and a few dozen house plants. :) The consistent, regular communication, photos and videos sent to us of our fur babies were all very appreciated. We came back to our place in even better shape than when we left - and our cats were so happy and relaxed on our return. Probably the best trip experience for them ever. We would very highly recommend Pinar & Ibrahim.
Pinar and Ibrahim took great care of our home and cat. They sent videos of our cat enjoying pets and he seemed very at ease when we got home again. The house was just as we left it plus they watered all the plants on the deck and in the garden. Communication was easy and they were very pleasant people to interact with. I'd highly recommend them for your housesit!
Pinar and Ibrahim were great sitters! I came home to a very clean home and happy cat. Throughout my trip they sent me the sweetest videos of my cat Jake. I worry about him now that he's on meds for a heart condition, but they put me at ease. They were very respectful and easy to communicate with. We worked out a thermostat snafu during the sit without trouble. On the one night that we overlapped, they were quiet guests. They are welcome back anytime! Thank you!
Pinar and her husband were superb house-sitters! They were very accommodating and attentive to details, and gave frequent updates on the kitties. Our cats were happy and relaxed when we came home, and they went above and beyond to keep the house in perfect shape. We look forward to having them back again!
