Pet care experience

Caring, honest, responsible care!

I understand that all animals have different needs and have different personalities. I can adapt and care for each pet to fit their needs and yours. I have two snuggly kitties myself and frequently petsit cats and dogs. I grew up with large dogs as well and have experience fostering as well. Open to other animal types as well! I also have experience as an equestrian and barn attendant. Before I relocated I cared for two mini ponies regularly when their family was away.

I've known Marina for close to 20 years, as she is a childhood friend of my daughter's. I trust her completely to arrive as promised and take care of my two cats. She is very loving towards them and gives them the attention I know they miss when I'm out of town. She follows any instructions I leave, double-checks planned dates ahead of when I'm departing, and sends me photos of my babies when she is at my home. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her without reservation, and have done so multiple times. I'd love to see her expand her pet care business!

I hired Marina to watch my cat Viola last minute while I was preparing to travel out of town. She was very communicative from the beginning. Took lots of notes as I explained Viola’s care & sent pictures of her. She listened throughly to my concerns and would give me extra updates on certain things without me needing to ask! I will absolutely be hiring Marina again to care for my pet!

Marina is one of the best and biggest pet lovers I know. I have two cats who she has taken such good care of, and they love having her sit for them. Would recommend her to anyone and everyone, and know you won’t have any worries while she’s taking care of your pets!!

Marina is very caring and attentive, and will treat your pets as if they were her own! You can trust that they are in good hands and will be extremely well cared for in your absence.

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors I should know about prior to caring for them. Are they anxious or timid? Do they like other dogs? Diet needs or medication? Any training you're working on that you would like me to be aware of.
