    Description

    live in a 2-bedroom ground-floor apartment with a garden, together with five cats. I’m looking for a calm and responsible animal lover who can help care for my pets. The house is quiet, cozy, and only a 10-minute walk from the beach, making it a peaceful place to stay.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    My home offers a peaceful environment where you can experience daily life in a coastal Turkish town. You can enjoy the beach, explore local cafés, markets, and traditional food, and get to know the relaxed lifestyle of the area. I’m happy to share tips about the region, places to visit, and local culture. It’s a calm place that many people find inspiring and restful.

    Update: I'll be out of town for a couple of days during the second week of April, so I especially need someone to look after the cats and dog at home while I'm away.

    __________

    I am offering a home-sharing opportunity for someone who enjoys living with animals and being part of a calm, respectful household.

    I live with five cats and a very gentle, well-adjusted dog named Mira, who was adopted from a shelter. Mira is calm and easy at home and simply needs to be taken out for two walks a day. She enjoys movement and nature, and on some weekends we go hiking together — something she absolutely loves. You’re welcome to join us, or, if I’m not available, to take part in these hiking outings with the group if you feel comfortable.

    This arrangement does not require being at home all day. You’re free to organize your time as you wish. The essential daily responsibility is walking Mira twice a day. Outside of these walking times, you’re free to go out and enjoy your day.

    When at home, the main expectation is to calmly observe the cat–dog dynamic and help maintain a safe and balanced environment if any tension arises. This is more about awareness, presence, and gentle attentiveness than constant tasks or active intervention.

    Respect for the home is very important to me. I value care for shared spaces, keeping common areas clean and tidy, and being mindful of a shared living environment.

    I haven’t traveled much recently, but if work allows, I may plan a short trip out of town for a few days. During such times, full responsibility for the animals would belong to the person staying at home. On weekends when I’m present, all animal responsibilities are mine, and you’re free from duties.

    This setup would suit someone patient, calm, animal-aware, and comfortable with a gentle daily rhythm rather than a busy or highly structured schedule. If you enjoy a peaceful home, value mutual respect, and like sharing space with animals, I’d be happy to hear from you.

    Accommodation

    You will have your own private room in a quiet ground-floor apartment with a garden. Clean bed linens and towels are provided. You are welcome to use the kitchen and all kitchen equipment freely, as well as the living room and outdoor garden area. The apartment is comfortable, well-equipped, and only a short walk from the beach. It’s a simple, cozy place where you can feel at home during your stay.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    What shared living would look like:
    *Quietly observing cat–dog interactions
    *Taking the dog for two long walks a day
    *Sharing a calm and respectful living space
    *During the week, I usually don’t eat at home due to my work routine. Meals are self-organized, and you’re free to use the kitchen as you wish.

    This arrangement would suit someone who is comfortable around animals, patient, and enjoys a slower, mindful daily rhythm rather than a busy schedule.

    If you’re looking for a warm home environment and enjoy sharing space with animals, I’d be happy to hear from you.
