Personal errands and diaspora support in Turkey
For the Turkish diaspora and expats alike — the human errands that matter. Handled with care, discretion and warmth.
What's included
-
Checking in on elderly family members
An unhurried visit — we sit, we talk, we look at whether the fridge is full and the heating works, and we call you afterwards to say honestly how she seemed.
-
Delivering gifts, flowers & documents
Bought locally or collected from you, delivered into the person's actual hands, and photographed at the door so you know it arrived.
-
Bespoke local shopping & purchases
Medicine, a specific brand, a part for a repair, a document from an old address — bought at cost, with every receipt and no markup.
-
Vehicle checks, transfers & paperwork
A car that sits idle while you are abroad: started, checked, moved, serviced, insured, or sold on your behalf.
-
Cemetery visits & memorial arrangements
Grave cleaned, flowers placed, photographs sent on the anniversary — quietly, and by the same person each year if you want it that way.
-
Home preparation before your arrival
Cleaned, aired, stocked and heated before you land, so the first evening of your visit is not spent in a supermarket.
Typical turnaround
24–48 hours
Fixed, all-in price

Some errands are not logistics. They are your mother, and she has not answered the phone in three days. They are your father's grave, and it is the anniversary, and you are eleven hundred miles away. They are a birthday your niece will remember whether or not you managed to get flowers there.
The Turkish diaspora carries this constantly — an obligation to be in two places, and the quiet guilt of only ever being in one. We cannot fix the distance. What we can do is send a real person, on the day it matters, who will sit for half an hour rather than five minutes, and who will call you afterwards and tell you honestly how she seemed.
This is the work we are most careful about. Same vetting, same photographs, same accountability as a factory audit — but with a great deal more warmth, and complete discretion about what is a family matter and what is not.
Who this is for
Diaspora families
An elderly parent or relative in Turkey who you cannot visit as often as you want to.
People marking a date
A grave to visit, flowers to place, an anniversary that should not pass unmarked.
Anyone who needs something delivered by hand
A gift, a document, cash, medicine — put into the right hands, with a photograph to prove it.
How the job runs
-
1
Tell us who, where and when
The person, the address, the date it matters, and anything we should know before knocking on the door.
-
2
We agree who goes
A named operator, matched to the task. For visits to elderly relatives we keep the same person wherever we can, so it stops being a stranger.
-
3
The visit happens
Unhurried. We sit, we talk, we take a photograph if it is welcome, and we never push if it is not.
-
4
We call you afterwards
Not a form. A conversation about how it actually went, and anything that gave us pause.
What you receive
- Photographs of the visit, the delivery or the grave, sent the same day
- An honest account of how the person seemed — including if something worried us
- Receipts for anything bought or paid on your behalf
- The same operator on repeat visits wherever possible, so trust can build
- Complete discretion. What is said in your family stays in your family.
Questions about personal, lifestyle & diaspora
Can the same person visit my mother every month?
Yes, and we strongly recommend it. Continuity is the whole point — a stranger at the door once a month is not care, it is an inspection. We keep the same operator on the visit wherever their schedule allows.
Can you buy something and deliver it?
Yes. We buy locally against your budget, keep every receipt, photograph the item before and after delivery, and return any change. We take no margin on the purchase.
Is this available outside the three main cities?
Yes — this is the service we travel furthest for, and we quote the travel honestly rather than pretending we have someone in every town.
Why people choose MyGuy
The difference between "I know a guy" and a service you can actually rely on.
Vetted people only
Every operator is ID-verified and reference-checked. No anonymous favours, no strangers with your keys.
Evidence, not promises
Timestamped photos, video walkthroughs and a written report on every job. You see what we see.
Payment escrow
Funds are released only once the task is confirmed done. Your money stays protected end to end.
Fully bilingual
We work in English and Turkish, so nothing is lost between you, us, and the office clerk.
