Information Marina B. would like to know about your pet

I need to know about any issues your dog has. I also need to know if they’re fixed, vaccinated and about their feeding schedule. If they have any allergies to anything too.

A typical day

The dogs play and run around together. If anyone is not interested in playing, that’s fine too. They can just have a snooze on a bed. I also feed the squirrels so there’s constant squirrel entertainment when we’re outside.

Pet care experience

I take care of dogs full time. I previously owned a pet store in Pasadena for 10 years and many of my clients are from those days. I just love dogs. They get lots of love, belly rubs and treats while they're here. My own dogs love to have new friends to play with and make all newcomers feel welcome. I can also take in shy and fearful dogs and dogs with medical needs (extra charges apply). I look forward to meeting your furry friend! *I only take dogs up to 25 lbs. *Dogs must be spayed or neutered and current on vaccines! *Per Rover policy, boarding is for a 24 hour period. If you drop off your pup at 9 am on the first day, please plan to pick them up at 9 am on the last day. Anything more than 3 hours past that 24 hour mark will incur a daycare charge, per dog. This is to ensure that your pup is covered by Rover's fantastic insurance from start to finish. *I open at 7:00 A.M and close at 7:00 P.M. Please check your itinerary prior to booking. If your flight lands at 7:00 P.M, you will need to book an additional night of boarding and pick up the next day. *I don’t do drop offs and pick ups on Holidays. So if you’re back from your trip on December 25th or January 1st (etc), you’ll have to pick up the next day. Even Rover sitters need a day to relax 😊. Thanks!

Great experience. Our dog came home very happy. I like that Marina does a meet and greet for new guests to make sure everyone is compatible. Plus she only does small dogs which is reassuring since our chihuahua mix is only 10lbs. Great communication and lots of photos.

Marina was great with Luna. I received many pictures, and I could see Luna was happy. I'm so pleased Luna was with such a kind dog sitter.

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.
