Remote Working Pet Lover!

I’ve grown up with dogs and cats since I was a little girl and was known for bringing home strays throughout my childhood. I have a cat of my own now but have moved around to often to get a dog of my own yet, so I love getting my pup fix with every dog I meet on the street or through friends! I also volunteered at Animal Haven, a shelter in NYC, during my years living there, where I would care and clean up for dogs and cats and walk all sizes and breeds of dogs. I’ve bottle-fed kittens, fostered kittens, and have years of dogsitting experience for friends and family.

Doggy Day Care • apr 19, 2026

Luna loved her time with Marina. She was treated to play time, walks, new toys, and cuddles on the couch. Luna was immediately at ease with Marina, as were we. Thank you, Marina, for taking such good care of our sweet girl.

Marina was the big dog sitter ever, she was sharing info about him and his behavior. She managed really well when he was demanding attention and she was one step forward to take about Vincent's safety. I recommend her with no doubt.

Marina was wonderful with my anxious cat! Great space for my cat to explore and I received regular updates and photos. Would definitely use again to watch my cat.

Marina was absolutely amazing with our puppy hank! This was his first time staying at someone else’s place with someone that wasn’t a family/friend, so he was anxious and she took such great care of him. He also was on some medications and she made sure she followed his schedule and was taken care of. She sent pictures/gave updates and overall was just such an great sitter for our crazy pup. Definitely recommend her!

Schedule

I work from home in tech and have lots of flexibility, so I’m available throughout the day and evening to go on frequent walks! I also love being active so getting out for daily walks is my favorite part of the day and I love having a dog to take with me.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a cat who is generally friendly with all people and pets he meets. He has lived with dogs and cats and likes having company. I am home most of the time and am happy to board a pet in my home or care for them in yours.

Pets

A typical day

I equally love lounging on the couch and watching tv with a pet and also going on long walks around the neighborhood. I like to match the energy of the pet I’m watching and give them whatever care and activity they need.
