Becky & Musti

Reliable House Sitter

This was our first time using trustedhousesitters.com and we could not have been luckier with Becks and Musti coming to stay with our girls. From the very first moment we talked to them it felt super easy and it was clear they love what they are doing. Our 2 dogs both immediately liked them (this is not always the case) and they were also in perfect shape when we got back home. They went on plenty of long walks with them and gave them so much love. Also the house was well looked after and on top of this all, Becks and Musti made us a delicious dinner when we got home from traveling. This was such a nice experience, we HIGHLY recommend Rebecca and Mustafa as house/petsitters.

 

ROBIN & ELS, OBERÄGERI, SWITZERLAND

Becki and Musti are an amazing team that effortlessly looked after a large luxury property with care and expertise to meet all expectations. Honest, reliable, and with excellent communication skills, the maintenance and upkeep of my villa proved to be outstanding. Everything from organising a major repair to the upkeep of pristine gardens, their efforts highlighted to me they are not only great at what they do, but also terrific problem solvers with the ability to organise, manage, and maintain my property to an exceptional standard. I can highly recommend Becki and Musti as most definitely being ‘reliable house-sitters’

 

DR AMADEUS KUBICEK, ORTAALAN-KALKAN

This was our first experience using Housesitters through Trusted Housesitters, and we could not be more pleased! Rebecca (Becky) and Mustafa were great to work with, extremely responsive and definitely loved by our dog, Layla! They were so accommodating adapting their schedules to our flights, and they were great about sending an occasional update/photo while we were away. We had no concerns while we were away, and arrived home to a clean apartment and a happy, well cared-for dog. We would not hesitate to book with them again if we have the chance.

 

 

 

PETER & SHANNON, ISTANBUL

I had a busy week away for work and I couldn’t have asked for better sitters to make me completely comfortable leaving Bimba behind. Communication before and throughout the sit was clear and easy, I could tell immediately that Rebecca and Mustafa love to look after animals and the photos of the cuddles whilst I was away only confirmed that! My house was well looked after and I got back to a tidier home than when I left! There was even homemade soup left for me, which was a lifesaver after a day of travel! Couldn’t recommend Rebecca and Mustafa enough, I am so pleased they stayed and made me and Bimba so comfortable. 5 stars and would love to host them again!

 

 

HARRIET, ZANDVOORT, NETHERLANDS

There is no series of adjectives to describe how reassuring it was to have Rebecca and Mustafa in our home. Rebecca was in constant contact ahead of time and during the stay. If ever someone was to be called a dog lover it is Mustafa. When we arrived home it was an incredibly warm welcome with a big bit of homemade soup waiting for us. No matter where we are living we would gladly welcome them again.

 

HANS & MORGAN, KIEL, GERMANY

Becky and Mustafa were brilliant sitters, they were very helpful and thoughtful, even down to cooking a meal for us on our return. Our flight home was cancelled, so they stayed on an extra day until we returned. Our tribe loved them, and were very well looked after, the house was spotless on our return, highly recommend them both, we felt completely confident leaving our tribe with them. Hopefully they can sit for us again.

 

 

MARGUERITE & JIM, DATÇA, TURKEY

Being gone for 7 weeks is a little nerve-wracking when you have 5 cats (plus a couple more strays outdoors) and live in Morocco. However, after speaking with Becky & Mustafa before they even stepped foot in Morocco, I felt fully confident that they were the right sitters for me. I was beyond thrilled with the updates and overall communication that I received while I was away. Whether it was a cute pic or a question, I felt everything that needed to be addressed or resolved was done so properly & promptly. You could tell that they were experienced at this in every way. So not only did they do a fantastic job of keeping up with my cats, as well as my house, but they were also super considerate. I would love for them to cat/house sit for me any time! I would highly recommend them to anyone with multiple cats.

 

ELENA BAÇA, ESSAOUIRA, MOROCCO 

We have 5 large working dogs in the family, labradors, springer spaniels & retrievers plus a cat and chickens and ducks. Becks has looked after the whole collection on many occasions for long-term and overnight stays, both on the family farm in Hampshire and on a 5 acre plot in Herefordshire which also has sheep grazing. The dogs need lots of exercise and food twice a day as they are fed on a strict BARF diet. The rest of the menagerie are easily looked after as long as you are organised and efficient with your time, Becks is both of these things. Becks & Mustafa are fully capable of looking after & taking good care of all kinds of animals and have done since childhood. They are both exceptionally kind & honest people to welcome into your home.

 

THE CUTCLIFFE FAMILY, HEREFORDSHIRE, UK 

First time using the Petsitters service is the most daunting experience. Entrusting not just pets but also belongings to total strangers takes a lot of trust. Fortunately, I read the profile of Rebecca & Mustafa already in November last year and my gut told me to look no further. This was proved right. Several video conversation since then and by the time I met them “in the flesh”, all my fears and anxieties regarding the wellbeing of my dogs disappeared and they were welcomed into our home with open arms and hearts. From the first minute, our 2 precious furbabies were totally comfortable with Rebecca and Mustafa and I was immediately put at ease when I saw the instant bond forming. Rebecca constantly kept me updated with photos and videos and I was able to ‘relax’ knowing that Minoushka and Sascha were (a) in their own home and (b) with people who totally loved them. We returned to find the happiest of happy dogs, a tidy and clean home, and everything perfect outside. After Becky and Mustafa left for another sit, it was very clear to me that my dogs missed them as they constantly went to “their bedroom” and sniffed around. Do I recommend them.? Absolutely!

 

KAREN & ARIEL, WOLLERAU, SWITZERLAND

Becky and Mustafa were super organised, professional, and efficient! From our first exchange to the final hand off they were on top of things. They also had to deal with Leyla’s health issues, including the giving of meds and checking in with her vet – all done in a no-fuss competent manner. We would have them back in a heartbeat – if we can manage to mesh our schedules….

LINDA & GARY CALDWELL, IZNIK, TURKEY

Amazing! Rebecca and Mustafa were the best house/pet sitters we have ever had. I felt my dogs were in very safe and capable hands. They sent messages and pictures everyday which put my mind at ease. They are a very respectful and pleasant couple to have in your home.

MARNIE & STEPHEN, KINDSBACH, GERMANY

We couldn’t have been any happier with the care Musti and Rebecca had for our home and our Cat.They are the loveliest, kindest couple and left our home and garden like new. Also making sure to let workmen in and arrange times for home improvement jobs to be completed. Thank you both. We look forward to leaving our home in your good hands again.

 

TRACEY KENSETT, NORTHERN IRELAND & TURKEY 

Mustafa and Becky are a wonderful couple. They both have wide work and travel experiences which make them incredibly open minded and extremely interesting to talk to. As house guests they were respectful, clean and tidy but also very relaxed and easy going to be around. I would absolutely have them again and would highly recommend them to anyone else looking for friendly and responsible people to look after their homes.

 

TARA LAING, HOUSE OWNER, KALKAN OLD TOWN

Mustafa and Becks are a great couple to entrust your home and pets to. They’re both warm and open hearted, great with animals, extremely practical and organised, have loads of useful home skills, as well as multiple languages between them. Your home and pets would be in very safe hands if you are lucky enough to book them!

 

JAN WOODING, HAMPSHIRE, ENGLAND 

We have known Mustafa for at least fifteen years and have found him to be the most likeable, honest, and caring person. He is extremely good at caring for people’s and their animals needs. He is happy to take on various tasks, and is just as comfortable maintaining a swimming pool, tending to animals, or hosting a celebration party. Mustafa is a very likeable character who makes friends very easily, always wears a broad smile, and I would not hesitate to recommend him and Rebecca to prospective customers.

 

PETER & BEVERLEY JAMIESON, VILLA OWNERS, KALKAN

Becky and Mustafa were great. They have a lot of experience, took care of a few neighbourhood problems in our absence, sent regular photos and updates, and got along well with Pippo and Pamuk. They would be welcome back.

 

DARYL & GÜLEN, ÇESME, TURKEY

I have known Mustafa for more than 20 years and he is one of the most hard working, honest, reliable and kind people I have ever met. He is practical, pragmatic and empathetic as a person and we have worked together on many property projects. Becky and he make a great team, she is a wonderful hostess and cook and a clever businesswoman. They are both well travelled, forward thinking individuals with many languages between them and big hearts who embrace all that life throws at them. Your home & pets will be in very safe hands when they take care of it.

 

HAMZA SARIOGLU, PARTNER, KALKAN PROPERTY CARE 

Rebecca and Mustafa were great sitters! They took really good care of our little dog Wally and of our home. They kept us updated on their plans including nice and long walks around Basel and even helped us with a last minute home task we had. We look forward to welcoming them again in the near future!

 

SEBASTIAN & LUCHO, BASEL, SWITZERLAND

Becky and Mustafa are the best people in the whole wide world. In fact I was almost tempted to stay with Mandu as I wanted to continue to be spoiled by them. Becky and Musti arrived the night before. Ian showed Musti how to work the pump to water the garden and Becky went through Mandu’s routine and read the Welcome Pack. Becky woke up on our leaving day and sorted breakfast and made us coffee. Musti helped with our cases. Becky gave me IT support for my phone and Musti sewed on a button for Ian on his trousers. We left items in the fridge for Becky and Musti and they left us food too. It’s like we have known them forever. Musti helped us with our suitcases into the taxi and again when we got home. The house was just as we left it. They even changed our bedding so we came home to nice clean sheets and towels and washed the bedding too. On the last morning Musti cleaned the bathroom they had used and emptied the bins. They really went above and beyond. Musti cleared the weeds from under our 14 trees while we were away. We got daily pics of Mandu. We came back and Mandu is super chilled. Our flight back was 9pm so we texted Becky to say we had landed and she offered filter coffee or soup when we got home and prepared a meal for our second night. We have loved having them as house sitters. They have gone above and beyond for us. They are both like a big hug. We left the house with 3 cartons of milk in the fridge and have 3 cartons of milk when we get back. We returned to a clean house, full cupboards and fridge and everything as we left it. Please do not hesitate to ask these guys to stay. We love their style and they really have gone above and beyond for each of us. Mandu is so chilled and relaxed and had such a lovely bond with both Becky and Musti and every time Becky cooked Mandu came to enquire what she was cooking just like she does with me. We haven’t booked house sitters we have found lifelong friends. They treated our home like it was theirs. Very respectful and very very kind. Every pet and house should have a Becky and Mustafa.

EMMA & IAN, KÖYCEGIZ, TURKEY

I have known Mustafa & Becky for 6 years. They are kind, generous people and we became friends very quickly. They are loyal and reliable, very quick to help if needed and an all round great couple. I have no hesitation recommending Mustafa & Becky.
