Pet care experience
“It’s not just a pet,It’s my child”
Hi! My name is Marina, and I love animals with my whole heart. I have grown up with pets, and currently own and care for 2 dogs, 8 cats, and a turtle in the house. Aside from having pets at home, I have graduated Essex North Shore Technical and Agricultural School, and was enrolled in the Companion Animals program. Not only have I learned animal husbandry there, but were also taught grooming and training. If you are interested, I have started my own house-call grooming business. This means that instead of you bringing your pet to a salon, I will go to YOUR HOUSE with all my tools and supplies to groom your pet. Feel free to reach out personally! I will always try my best to provide your canine or feline children with the best care. As a side note: I am a burn survivor, which explains my appearance. If you have any questions, feel free to ask :) Thank you for your time, and have a wonderful day! Given the mini-zoo I have in my home, pet care is the story of my life. Wether I am grooming a client or just relaxing at home, my life is full of pets for whom “care” varies from cleaning up their messes to showering them with affection-filled scratches and engaging them in play time. “You are unique; just like every body else.” I take this quote to heart when caring for my own pets, as well as each and every one of my clients’. This means that I take the time and patience to get to know your pet and his or her needs individually, and allowing them to do the same with me. Sometimes they just need a little space! In addition, if your pet has any special needs—like medication or just some help up the stairs— I will be more than happy to assist. Just be sure to let me know ahead of time as mind-reading does not happen to be one of my numerous skills and talents ;)

Ratings and reviews
Marina was very responsive to my check in on Callie. She is very kind and cared to her very well
Our dogs had such a wonderful time with Marina! They got so much cuddle time, which they adored. The pictures and videos of them made it so much easier to be away. When we have to go out of town in the future, we will definitely ask Marina to dog sit!
Marina is great, she arrives on time and is able to take Hensley out on walks in the woods. Our pup is a little on the shy side and she has been kind enough to gently introduce her to another dog to help with that. Thank you, Marina!
Excellent experience Marina is amazing with the pets! Two dogs and two cats were very well taken care of! Excellent communication and extremely responsive! Would highly recommend
Marina is amazing! Great communication, responsible and treats any pup as her own. Not only does my Doxie Riot come home exhausted from playing, he absolutely melts when he sees Marina. He can be shy some times but not when he sees her. Riot is still a puppy and is working on his training and commands that Marina also reinforces while she’s watching him which is helpful. She has also been extremely flexible with short notice bookings when things come up. 10/10 would recommend booking with her.
Marina took care of our 2 cats while we were away. They looked pretty happy on the pictures - especially considering it was their first time with Marina and they are pretty skittish with new people ! :)

A typical day
Does your pup have a favorite toy? I’ll play with them! Do they enjoy long walks filled with lots of new smells? I’m happy to take them for a nice, extended adventure through a trail in the local woods :)
