Former Vet Tech - loves to play/run

Pet care experience

I worked as a vet tech for 8+ years and as a pet sitter for more than 10. I love caring for dogs and meeting the wide variety of breeds and personalities. I am very comfortable with special needs pets and love giving extra attention. I can give meds with ease and am comfortable with giving fluids or injections as well. I also am familiar with canine CPR and what to look for in a sick pet, so your baby will be in observant and competent hands! If you have a high energy pet I would love to take them on my jogs! I work as a massage therapist so my schedule tends to be very flexible, though I do work a longer day on most Tuesdays, so If you have a young puppy and need help that day I'll need extra notice to flip my schedule to accommodate you! Generally I am available Monday unroll 11am, and after 545pm, Wednesdays till 3pm and after 8pm, and most of the day Thursday through Sunday, Tuesdays I work 10am till 830, but can change as needed with notice. My prices can be flexible depending on location and what your pet needs. I am also able to care for other types of pets you may have, cats, birds, reptiles, etc.

Working with Marina was a dream. Marina watched our two pups in our home while we were out of the country for a week and a half and we know she took amazing care of them and our home. We received regular updates and pics and our home was perfectly tidy when we came home. We'd work with Marina again in a heartbeat.

I cannot say enough good things about Marina's stay with Toby. Toby liked her immediately, and she was very knowlegeable about his medical issues (she was a vet tech for 8 years). That really put me at ease. Marina stayed in touch, sent me pictures, and my house was cleaner than when I left! I highly recommend her to anyone who's looking for a warm, caring, very responsible dog/house sitter.

Marina is a trustworthy person and a total animal lover and advocate! She has cared for my dogs a hand full of times over the past two years and she was great with professionalism and with dog care and lots of love :) Emily S

Marina has an incredible knowledge of animal care, and her love of fury friends is simply contagious. She has experience rescuing and fostering dogs and cats of all ages and levels of aggressiveness. I have trusted her with all of my animals dozens of times and have never been disappointed.
