Safety, trust & environment

I strongly believe in leaving things better than you found them - if your pets make a mess, chew up a toy or track mud in the house you can be sure I’ll clean it up so you don’t have extra work a when getting home from work or your vacation

Information Marin Z. would like to know about your pet

Generally I can get by on very minimal info - however, If there are any dietary restrictions, medication needs, sensitivities to people, places or things it’s great to know those in advance. Also any favorite games, toys or treats make things really easy to jump right in.

A typical day

I love playing with our pet friends, helping maintain any training challenges while adding some new ones where appropriate. Helping pups embrace their sense of smell with games and teaching new tricks is a favorite past time as well as getting all those zoomies out before the end of the day.

Pet care experience

*** If you don’t see the service listed that you need, please reach out, my schedule is flexible and can accommodate individual circumstances*** As a mom to 2 precious kitties (12/4) who I’ve raised since kittens and following the passing of my elderly pup last year (13) I love all animals, connecting with them and providing the support each one needs. I have been caring for animals as a fur mom, aunt, friend and neighbor since I was 8 years old - I’ve of course cared for dogs and cats through all stages of life from birth and puppy training to those frustrating two-nagers all the way to the complex challenges with our elderly/end of life babies. I’m not limited to just our beloved fur babes - I’ve cared for all sorts of animals including fish, lizards, and rats to sugar gliders, chickens and ducks. There aren’t many animals I’m not comfortable with helping care for and play with. Most importantly I love getting to know each individual fur baby and providing the support they need whether it’s special diets, extra runs or just some play and cuddle time, I love being there for our fur friends.

Marin was exceptional! It was my husband and my first time away from our baby girls, and Marin made us feel very comfortable and safe with her the whole time. She followed our small nuances and made sure our babies were happy and very well cared for in our absence. We can’t thank her enough!

Marin is such an incredible dog walker for my senior potties. She was consistently reliable, communicative, and clearly cared deeply about my dog’s well-being. Marin was attentive to Patrick’s needs, accommodating, and always made me feel at ease knowing he was in good hands. I am truly appreciated her professionalism, kindness, and the genuine care she showed throughout our time working together. Again, I’m grateful for all of her help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker 💚

Marin has been nothing but wonderful from the start! She is incredibly detailed in everything from where she takes our dog on a walk to different commands that she works on with him as well. She has excellent communication via the app and over text. Could not recommend her more!

Marin was so communicative and very patient with Shadow, who can be tough to care for at times.
