Pet care experience

Active, Responsible, & Trustworthy

Pets are a core member of many families, and I have come to understand the importance of families needing a reliable pet-sitter who will provide high-quality care and lots of love for their pet while they are away. Along with my own cat and dog who I cared for their whole lives, I have been a consistent house/pet sitter for many family, friends, and mutual friends through word of mouth! Now that my pets have passed and I live a busy college lifestyle, I've gotten in the habit of borrowing friends' dogs for a day or two at a time simply to have a pet around! I love getting outside and being active, so you can rest assured your pet will get plenty of fresh air and lots of love! I am a doctoral student who plans to get a pet of my own again after graduation once I have a job, but in the meantime I enjoy caring for other peoples' furry family and treating them like my own :) Most of my pet care is arranged through word of mouth, so my Rover numbers don't accurately reflect the quantity of pet-sitting I actually perform. I am known for taking lots of photos and ensuring that families know their pets are happy and healthy all throughout their time away from home. Communication is a top priority for me to ensure your peace of mind.

Safety, trust & environment

Pet safety is my number one priority! I love to maintain your dog's routine as much as possible, and keep them exercised and well-loved. I understand that it can be tough for a pet when their owner is gone, so I want to do everything I can to make it as smooth and enjoyable as possible for your pet and for you! Lists or instructions and emergency contact info or vet numbers are always appreciated so I can be prepared for anything and keep your pets happy and healthy. You can trust me to keep everything safe and in order, with happy wagging tails ready to greet you when you get back home!

Thanks Marin, for making Mia feel at home! Marin went above and beyond to care for Mia, our pup. She is great and I highly recommend her.

Marin was a great sitter! Our dogs absolutely love her!! We were able to enjoy our time away from home worry free and received the best updates with photos of all the fun they were having together.

Marin was the best we could’ve asked for with our two large dogs. She truly treats them with kindness and love like our own. We so appreciated everything she did for us and always sending pictures and videos. We can’t wait to have her over again!

Marin did an INCREDIBLE job watching my dog at my house for a week. If I could give 6 stars I would. She was very communicative, took care of all of my dogs special needs (medication 2x daily and not a big eater), played with my dog, and sent the cutest pictures daily. She met with me before hand to make sure it was a good fit. I had to alter my booking dates and she was very flexible. Thank you Marin!

Schedule

I am in my final semester of a doctoral program and completing an internship in the Pine Lake area from 8-5 Monday through Friday. If you live close enough, I will do my best to make it home over the lunch hour to let your pup out and give them some love, but sometimes I am unable to make it back as I only have a 30-minute break. Typically if I am unavailable to stop in over lunch break, pet families will find a family member or friend in advance to pop in and let their dog(s) out mid-day if that is the dog's normal routine to alleviate long days inside. Rest assured your pets will get plenty of love and attention in the mornings before work, in the evenings and on the weekends.

Please let me know ahead of time if there are any specific ways your dog likes to warm up to people. My dog did not like confrontation, so he preferred to be ignored until he approached you. Every dog is different! Please also let me know if your dog has strong behaviors so that I know what to expect before visiting them and know how I should interact with them. Does your dog enjoy getting out of the house? Let me know, and if they have a record of “good dog” behaviors in public, I may even take them on a mini adventure around town with your permission!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
