Irem

Hello Mum and Dads! My name is Irem. I am offering unconditional love & care for your beloved one because I know how important he/she is to you. I had to leave behind my Golden Retriever with my family back home, to come to Berlin for my master's studies and in seek a new life journey. Our paths with Cody have crossed when he was just one month old. In a sense, we grew up together. In 2017 when I moved to Berlin it was too harsh to be without dog energy around me - so I’ve decided to dog-sit. I'm on Pawshake world since 5 years and I can genuinely say that this has been a one good era for me! I’ve encountered too many furry souls and great families. And many thanks to all my lovely dogs and their beloved parents, I have written my thesis on dog-human companionship and received my MA degree in Sociology.

Let me explain how I do what I do; 

Depending on my availability - I can offer dog boarding (for a few days, for a weekend, my longest dog boarding was for two months), doggy daycare and house sitting. I live by myself. There is no dog or person around. When your dog comes to my place he or she is the boss of my apartment. If happens to be that I have multiple dogs, I always ask dog parents before and take their conscience. I know dogs well and I usually foresee whether my 2 doggies will get along with each other or not. Currently I'm self-employed which gives me more flexibility and time to spend with dogs, and I can basically plan my day around the needs of the dog. Every dog have different routines and I try not to skip any of them. But I also provide them with different adventures and find my own way to build our relationship throughout the stay.

Having a dog on leash is kind of my 3rd arm and I cannot express enough how natural this has become for me. It is also the greatest method of healing for me. I definitely consider dogs as my best friends and I know that they understand our thoughts and feel our emotions. I'm not looking at it as a job, and I'm doing my best in order not to let you in a worry. I know and I share your feelings, your worries. I update you - sometimes even over update you with their silly moments and lovely pictures 📸

And finally, I believe in energy adaptation. I guess it can be understood at first moments.That's why I always want to meet in person first we agree on something. Looking forward to see your baby's wagging tail 🐕‍
