Pet care experience

Pet care for every home & any pet!

*** 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.

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

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.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I just moved to New York and have been caring for a family member that has since recovered - meaning my schedule is very flexible and I’m looking to explore the area, get to know new pet friends!

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Marin can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
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.
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.
