Safety, trust & environment

I live in a house with a big backyard and your dog is allowed on bed and couch if it's ok with you. I can administer meds if needed. I will keep your dog close to me at all times. My dog was reactive and I am particular attentive in monitoring interactions and encounters with other dogs. I use only pet safe cleaning products. In case of cats, I would be extra careful to keep them indoor unless otherwise instructed.

Pet care experience

I have a large enclosed sunny backyard large enough for your doggie to run around. I live near many nice parks and trails and I'd love to walk your dog in nature, or take him to dog parks for a sniffing session. If you prefer your dog to stay only indoors and use the backyard only, that's fine too. I especially know how to take care of older dogs which I love, as I was a very attentive and loving caregiver to my own 14 y.o. rescue Cavalier King Charles until 2 months ago. I miss him a lot and I am looking forward to doting to your baby with all the extra love I got to spare! I use the Italian mom approach to care and attention: eat right, be where I can see you, exercise, sleep well and yes, everyone is allowed on the bed! Same for cats: I had cats all my life, often more than one at a time, and I have a special affinity with them. Even the persnickety ones let me pet them 😸

June seemed happy and relaxed after spending a few hours at Marina’s house, despite only having met her once before and being a bit of a nervous girl. We’re excited for more visits!

Our picky doggo Laszlo  LOVED spending a couple of days with Marina. He was very happy to spend a lot of time in her giant backyard and came home as a very happy boy. Marina is so sweet and we will definitely be booking with her again in the future.

Marina was excellent with our fur baby! She treated him like family and took such good care of Sparky. She provided alot of updates and pictures on our trip and we knew (and could see) he was happy and doing well. Marina was also very responsive to any communication we had. We hope Sparky will stay with Marina again!

Marina is great with my older dog! She sends regular updates and spoils him - I know he has a great time when he's with her!
