Friendly Dog Lover Put Mind at Ease

Hi Rover Community! I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! I have been pet sitting for close to 11 years. I have pet sat for a variety of pets from puppies/kittens to older animals and even given medicine. I now live with a my friendly, intact friendly chocolate lab who gets along with most dogs but sadly Huskies are not our friend. I work from home and am able to help during the day or while you’re gone. Know that when your dog is in great hands when he stays with us. We love going on adventures and meeting dogs needs! If that’s playing fetch, they love to sniff on walks, go to dog friendly areas, like the water, like to hike etc those things will happen when they stay with us. But if they also need to stay away from busy areas, are older/not as active, they will have that same lazy time staying with us. Other things to note: Before boarding/overnights I like to meet the owner and dog before staying with us to ensure a safe stay and comfortable stay for your dog. I have fostered puppies/dogs from a local rescue in the past We go on lunch walks and after work walks as I work from home You will be updated on their stay with us If having a same day drop off would want to meet outside the apartment. I am a semi-active but like to chill at home or have an adventure with the dogs. I am very respectful of people's homes and space. If you would like us to stay at your place my dog would have to come but am very loving and friendly person who is responsible and attentive to owners needs.

Took great care of my dog Annie, lots of fun in the dog park, and could genuinely see Annie was so happy.

This was Zelda’s 2nd stay with Marin and Brinkley. They are great and Zelda fits in with their pack. Appreciate the communication and thoughtful care!

Leo has a good time and gets good walks during the workday when he hangs with Marin. She really knows and loves dogs.

Marin and Brinkley were great hosts for my senior mini dachshund. Marin is very detail oriented and communicative. She was very flexible and accommodating to my dog’s needs. She is also clearly a dog lover and enjoys letting pets live their best lives. Thank you, Marin for taking great care of Zelda!

Marin was absolutely amazing!! It was clear from all the updates that Thor had a fantastic time. It was my first time leaving him and she made me feel like he was truly cared for. Would 100% book again.

Schedule

I work from home M-F. M,W,TH,F I go on a lunchtime walk and Tuesdays for a few hours we have a dachshund who visits for a few hours. We go on an after work walk around 4pm but can do evening walks too. My dog would accompany me if you want us to go to your place to pick up your dog, but can also drop them off at my apartment.

Does your dog do well with an intact dog? What type of medications they might have? What's their routine, I want to make sure I can keep to it as best I can? What things do I need to look out for? Squirrels, really likes to chew sneakers, sometimes jumps and grabs food ect.
