Pet care experience

Can I pet your dog?

I’ve been taking care of my friends’ and family members’ dogs ever since I can remember. On my beach walks, I’ve noticed myself becoming first name friends with neighbourhood doggos, often way before I get to know their owner. From my experience as a trusted sitter, I know that each doggo will have their own routine and schedule and I’m keen to get to know yours. Whether it’s specific feeding habits, times when your precious fluff ball needs a little more stimulation and entertainment, or the specifics around how they best prefer their W-A-L-K-I-E-S (I’m guessing frequent and long), I’m here to learn about it all and give your friend the attention he or she deserves.

Marina was amazing with our dog, Albie — he took to her instantly! Communication was excellent, which allowed us to fully relax while we were away. We’d absolutely recommend her and will definitely be in touch again soon.

Marina is one of the most caring and responsible people I know. She’s taken care of my pets before and they absolutely loved her. She has this calm, kind energy that animals just seem to trust right away. I always feel at ease knowing they’re in her hands. She’s super reliable, communicates really well, and always makes sure everything’s just right. Whether it’s sticking to routines, giving meds, or just spending quality time with pets, Marina does it all with so much love and attention. You can tell she genuinely cares, not just about the animals, but about making sure pet parents feel confident and informed too. She’s truly the kind of person you’d want looking after your furry family member.

Safety, trust & environment

At your home, in keen to learn about your doggos needs and your usual expectations. At home, I’ve got plenty of space to store their items for an overnight stay and I’m 1 minute away from taking them to a beautiful beach walk.

A typical day

I'll take your pup on lovely neighbourhood walkies, have a proper game of fetch in the park, or on 5be beach, and enjoy cuddles and belly rubs on the sofa. For mental stimulation, we'll work on fun tricks with tasty treats and explore puzzle toys together. When the weather's nice, we might even have a picnic in the garden for a special adventure!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

To properly care for your pets, I'll need to know: • Their daily feeding routine and any dietary restrictions • Medication requirements and administration instructions • Exercise needs and walking preferences • Toilet habits and signals • Behavioural quirks (e.g., fear of thunder, anxiety around other dogs) • Commands they respond to • Favourite toys and games • Emergency contact details for your vet • Any health conditions I should be aware of • Whether they're comfortable with strangers or other animals​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
