Marina was amazing. It was the first time leaving my dogs with someone else, but she made me feel so comfortable and my dogs came back very happy. She also kept me updated with pictures and was responsive. I can’t thank her enough!

Marina had some challenges with our kids this time, and handled them perfectly. She always goes above & beyond, so we don't have to worry while we're away. Thank you!

Marina was fantastic. She sent daily updates with pics and videos of our pups, so we knew they were doing well. They also came back cleaner than when we dropped them off! Would definitely bring our kids back!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard on a dead end street with at least 3 neighbors home at all times on our street. Our dogs are accepting of everyone (Although everyone says this, ours have been trained and safely socialized from pet sitting for others, to coming to work with me at a vet hospital and pet grooming salons, as well as when I worked at a doggy daycare years ago.)

Pets

A typical day

We love to go outside and have a big fenced-in yard to explore! With a nice calm neighborhood, we can go on walks, do frozen treat games outside, water play with the splash pad and much much more!

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs

Let me know if your dog has any important medical conditions that need attention, grooming needs, or temperament concerns. I will almost always work with you and not turn you away, I do not scare easily, but of course but my child’s and pets’ safety come first when choosing new clients.
