Hi, I’m Ayse! I grew up in Istanbul, a city famous for its cats, but dogs have held a special place in my heart since childhood. My aunt still tells the story of how I asked her for bedtime stories about dogs every night for years :) Growing up, I had rabbits, budgies, hamsters and goldfish, and later cared for my two rescue cats for five years. When I moved abroad, they moved in with my parents, enjoying their retirement life. Over the years, I’ve also looked after dogs of my family friends, friends and colleagues while their owners were away, particularly Nacho, an 11-year-old Yorkshire terrier. I love having a dog around at home and going out for walks in the neighbourhood is my absolute favorite part. Having a dog of my own will have to wait a little longer, so I’d love to welcome yours into my home in the meantime! I’ll take the time to learn their routine, habits and personality so I can help them feel comfortable during their stay. Whether they enjoy playful walks, quiet company or plenty of cuddles, I’ll be happy to give them the care and affection they need and of course keep you updated with photos along the way.
