    About us
    “We are Günseli (fashion designer) and Burak (cinematographer). We work in a hybrid way — about 50% from home and 50% outside in meetings. We recently moved to Fenerbahçe, Istanbul.” Because of our design and film projects, we are often busy with studio work. We are looking for people with genuine animal experience who can take full responsibility for our pets, whether we are at home or out.
    This is not “just a job.” Our animals need love, compassion, and attention — not only safe and careful care, but also joy and warmth.

    Tasks required from travelers:

    -Animal care
    -Walk 4 dogs three times a day (in two groups)
    -Prepare and cook meals for the animals:
    • Dogs—meat or chicken with rice and vegetables, twice daily
    • Cats—fresh dry food and water in the morning and evening, clean cat litter twice daily
    -Observe health and behavior
    -House care
    -Daily light cleaning and keeping the home tidy. We enjoy a clean and positive environment at home.

    Food
    We like to keep things simple and friendly. The fridge is always stocked, and everyone can cook whenever they want. Sometimes we cook and eat together; sometimes each person makes their own meal.

    Schedule :
    5 Days a Week
    Morning shift: 08:00 – 10:00
    Evening shift: 16:00_18:00
    A short walk in the evenning between 23:00_24:00. for their toilet needs.
    Daily lighthouse cleaning

    The rest of the day is free, but always keep an eye and ear open for the animals. They enjoy hugs, cuddles, and little snacks—and like simply being around people, whether you’re working, cooking, or reading.

    Be aware of challenges.
    Living with many animals—4 dogs and 5 cats—can feel intense at first; we need calm, confident people.
    Daily rhythm: Dog walking, cat attention, and food preparation are essential parts of life here.

    What we offer
    -A peaceful house and a separate room in Istanbul, close to the Fenerbahçe Marina
    -High-speed internet, suitable for people who also work from home
    -A city full of history and cultural experiences
    -Shared meals, friendship, and good memories when we are home
    -Food expenses are covered

    Important note
    This is not just a task list—we are looking for people who truly love animals, see them as family, and bring warmth and joy into the house. We will consider you part of our family. For us, it’s about respect, compassion, and the joy of meeting beautiful people while sharing the chance and responsibility of caring for these wonderful souls together.

    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.

    Hier sind Haustiere in der Regel willkommen

    Because we already live with 4 dogs and 5 cats, bringing another animal can sometimes create challenges in harmony. For this reason, it’s not our first choice.
