Pet care experience
Marina is currently accepting dogs, cats, small animals and reptiles. Hi! Thank you for checking out my profile. My name is Marina, I’m an undergrad at Cornell and I’m passionate about animals. I have been taking care of pets since I was 12 when my aunt got her first dog, and ever since I have learned more and more about how intelligent and amazing animals are! I’m excited to share my love and care with your pet and provide them with the most respectful, caring and exceptional service. I not only have experience with dogs but also cats, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish. I am happy to take care of your family's best friend - no matter if they have scales or fur.
Reviews
Marina is always amazing, she goes above and beyond.
Marina was excellent! Highly recommended. She provided long walks and administered medicine to our older dog. Great work! Friendly and reliable.
This was the second time Marina stayed our pup, she's simply the best!! Will definitely be using her whenever she's available! Such a sweet person and took excellent care of our pup. Can't say enough good things.
Marina is wonderful - Responsible, loving and very easy to work with. Isaac was all tuckered out at the end of the evening and I was grateful to know Marina was in charge.

House sitting service starts after 4:30 pm and ends at 11:30 am. It includes play time, evening meal, morning meal, evening and morning walks, and 2-3 potty breaks for one dog. House sitting service for cats includes play time, evening meal, morning meal, and litter box cleaning for one cat. Additional fee may apply for additional pets. Times can be adjusted depending on both of our schedules. Please let me know what you’re looking for so I can better serve you and your pets. I will gladly water your plants with no extra fees. Dog walking service includes play time while in a 30 minutes walk. 1 hr walk is also available with an additional fee. Drop in service includes play time, potty break or litter box cleaning, and 15 minutes walk. I can also offer medical or grooming appointment pick up and drop off, and pet shop delivery. :) Boarding service starts after 4:30 pm and ends at 11 am. For dogs, it includes play time, evening meal, morning meal, evening and morning walks, and 2-3 potty breaks. For cats, it includes play time, evening meal, morning meal, and daily litter box cleaning. Please provide their regular food so we can avoid upset stomachs. Feel free to bring as many toys, beds, bowls or blankets you would like. My goal is for them to feel safe and at home - while enjoying their own vacation. For small animals, birds or reptiles please contact me for more info. Day care can start and end at any time and includes up to 6 hours of service. Please provide their regular food if their meal time coincides with their stay (this way we can avoid upset stomachs). Again, feel free to bring as many toys, beds, bowls or blankets you would like. My pets currently include snakes, lizards and salamanders - all very loved and well cared for. All of them have spacious terrariums and designated “socializing time” when they are carefully handled to better become more comfortable having people around. I’m very comfortable around any pet, and their happiness and safety is my top priority. I’ll do my very best to make sure your family is comfortable and safe while you’re away.
Information Marina C. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or is taking any medication so I can better care for them. I have experience with senior or special needs animals - having a couple of them myself - and I can follow their routine easily. I’m more than happy to care for any senior or special needs dogs, cats, small animals and reptiles.
A typical day
I love to see them happy. We can certainly go for car rides, walks and hikes - or stay in take a nap and play. It’s all up to them and how they like to spend their time - lots of cuddles is a must, of course!
