Pet care experience

Will care for your dog like my own

I believe no specific dog breed is bad. Dog behaviors are shaped by their owners! I have a 5 year old blue-nose pitbull that is the sweetest boy who loves cuddles, play and go on walks. I trained him to do many tricks (sit, stand, spin, bow, stay, roll, etc) and taught him important commands like letting go of things (including food). Kai has so many allergies and I learned how impactful medical issues can be on both your pet and you. I understand how precious pets are to their parents and know how to make your pet feel at ease. I enjoy taking pictures so expect lots of updates of your fur baby!

Marina was absolutely AMAZING with Chance! From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in great hands. She kept me updated with so many photos, which gave me so much peace of mind and let me see how happy and comfortable he was the entire time. She took him on plenty of walks, gave him lots of love and attention. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had the best time. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! I would recommend Marina to absolutely anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to watch their pet. She’s the kind of person you hope to find, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Marina did a great job of keeping my dog active while she was watching him. She was very easy to work and communicate with. Loved all the pictures she would send!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I'm currently in medical school, most of my classes are online aside from certain in-person sessions. I am usually at home and would love to have a fur baby around the house! I will take your dog on walks as requested per your dog's usual activity level.

Where your pet will stay

Home characteristics

Lives in an apartment
Does not have a yard
Non-smoking household
Has no pets
No children present
Dogs not allowed on bed
Dogs not allowed on furniture
Potty breaks every 2-4 hours

Safety, trust & environment

I do not have any pets in my apartment and will take one dog at a time. Your dog will most likely be roaming around the apartment freely, however, I would prefer dog crate at night to avoid accidentally chewing of furniture. P.S. please ensure that your dog had recently bathed and brushed before drop-off :)

A typical day

I will likely play with your dog (tug of war if acceptable) and go over commands your dog already knows. I usually let dogs smell around the neighborhood on walks unless instructed otherwise.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Please let me know if your dog is allergic to any food, grass type or treats. Also, if your dog is allowed to jump (no joint problems). Finally, anything else you want me to know like food aggression, history of biting, cuddling level, not dog friendly, etc
