As an award-winning social initiative project, "Misafirpetver" provides volunteer pet sitters who look after pets when their owners are on vacation or do not want to leave them at pet hotels or vets while they are away. Users can register on the initiative's website and find which pet sitters are available on the required dates. Users can inform pet sitters about the requirements of their pets.
Founded by Şebnem Yaraç and Durul Doktoroğlu, the project is the recipient of Bilgi University's Young Social Entrepreneur Award. Yaraç told a local newspaper that she designed the project when she was studying in Paris. Volunteer pet sitters also look after stray animals free of charge, while other pets are looked after with an affordable fee. Users can either call pet sitters to their home or take the pet to the pet sitter's home. The website is currently in beta mode, but users can still contact and find pet sitters.
