Highlights
Pet care experience
Clemson Student & Pet Lover
I care for dogs, cats, small animals, amphibians, reptiles, and exotic pets. Hi! I’m Marina, a Clemson student with a lifelong love for animals and 8 years of professional pet sitting experience. I began caring for pets at a young age when my aunt brought home her dog, and I also grew up with a cockatiel, which helped build my comfort with birds and other unique pets. My background includes dogs and cats, as well as birds, small mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and aquatic animals. I’m experienced with: Senior pets who need medication Pets with anxiety and high-energy dogs Exotic species with specific habitat requirements My goal is to provide patient, respectful, and attentive care so your companion feels safe, understood, and well looked after (with plenty of fun built in). I’m happy to care for your family’s best friend, whether they have fur, feathers, or scales!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When I’m caring for your pet in your home, my priority is keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy in their familiar environment. My pet-sitting service generally begins after 4:30 pm and ends at 11:00 am, but I’m always glad to adjust times depending on what works best for both of us. During each stay, I provide: Evening and morning walks Additional potty breaks along the day Evening and morning meals (following your feeding routine) Playtime, enrichment activities, and comfort/companionship Medication administration if needed Frequent updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing! I follow your pet’s normal schedule and household rules closely to help them feel secure and relaxed. If your pet has special needs, anxiety, or unique routines, I’m happy to follow any instructions you provide. Your home is treated with the same care and respect I give your pet. I’ll gladly bring in mail, rotate lights, and water your plants at no extra cost. My goal is to give your pet a safe, calm, and enjoyable experience — and to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away.
Ratings and reviews
Marina gave my dog loving care when she watched her. Marina’s communication is absolutely impeccable. She gave consistent, detailed feedback and updates. Our home was in perfect condition when we returned. Marina takes her job very seriously and it shows. She’s fabulous!
So sweet, and loves our pets like her own.
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.

Schedule
I keep a flexible weekly schedule and genuinely enjoy making time for every animal I work with. I always keep my phone nearby, so updates, photos, and quick replies are never a problem. If you need anything (even a last-minute sitter), I’m just a message away.
