  About us
  We are Günseli and Burak. I am a fashion designer . Burak is a cinematographer. Together we are working on our fashion label and independent film projects.
  
  We work in a hybrid way—mostly from home, sometimes outside in meetings and production. We need to allocate more time to our work, so we are looking for someone who has real experience with dogs .
  
  We live with 7 dogs and 8 cats. All of our dogs are mixed breed, large, and adopted from the street. They are calm and loving at home.
  Some of the dogs can get excited when they see other animals. Walking them requires attention, calm energy, and a connection with dogs. Out of seven, four may pull or bark when they see small pets, so it’s important to stay focused and in connection during walks.
  
  Our home is in Fenerbahçe, 5 minutes from the sea, with a long coastal path for walking and running. It’s a central, pleasant area with easy access to all parts of Istanbul by public transport.
  
  We enjoy spending time together when possible.
  
  Living and walking with dogs is an important part of the experience here, so a natural curiosity, attentiveness, and inner love for the dogs makes the stay more fluid and rewarding for everyone involved.
  Walking rituals needs self discipline and a physical condition as we usually walk around 10.000 steps per day with them .
  
  Tasks
  Animal care
  Walk 4 dogs, 2 times a day (in two groups, around 40 minutes each). So 4 times out
  
  Clean cat litter twice a day
  Observe their health and behavior
  Light house care: cleaning and vacuuming 2 times a week and general maintenance.

  We provide a private room. The kitchen is shared. We offer simple breakfast, tea, and coffee in the mornings. Lunch and dinner are not provided.
  
  Schedule
  5 days a week
  Morning: 08:00 – 10:00
  Evening: 16:00 – 18:00
  
  What we offer
  -A calm home and a private room in Fenerbahçe
  -5 minutes walking distance to the sea
  -High-speed internet (suitable for remote work)
  -A city rich in culture and history

  Important note
  This is not just a job. We are looking for someone who truly loves animals and treats them with care and respect. For us, they are family. Dog walking experience is a must.
  
  We value joyfull, responsible, and kind people. If you enjoy living with animals and being part of a warm, simple home, this can be a good experience for both sides.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  We are very open to different cultures and believe that we can learn from each other while enjoying our friendship. We would be happy to spend time together and exchange ideas. We are the home of a human-animal family. I think our guests will experience a beautiful harmony between humans and animals where they can be exactly friends. Rather than an owner-animal relationship, we have a family-friend type of loving and fun relationship that needs to be experienced.
