Information Marina C. would like to know about your pet

Medication, potty trained or not and how many walks per day. Also how much food I need to give them during the day and sleeping schedule.

A typical day

I’m a runner so I love to run with high energy dogs and go for long walks too.I enjoy taking them on walks to explore new routes, playing fetch in the yard, teaching them simple tricks, or having a fun grooming session. Many dogs also love puzzle toys or sniffing games where you hide treats around the house. For cats, I like interactive play with feather wands or laser pointers, setting up cardboard boxes for them to explore, or simply having cozy cuddle sessions. Some cats enjoy learning to walk on a leash or playing with catnip toys.

Marina was absolutely wonderful with our pit mix. As soon as we dropped him off, he didn’t look back! I received daily check ins and pictures and he came home tired from the long walks and very happy. Would very much recommend!

We're so glad to have found Marina! Communication was clear and consistent from beginning to end and Baloo absolutely loved her. She provided photo updates and tended to him and our home with lots of TLC and beyond. She is so kind, respectful of the space/asks, made us feel safe - and most importantly Baloo, who can be a little nervous guy sometimes. We will most definitely be asking her to stay with him again!!

Marina did an outstanding job caring for my 2-year-old poodle, Rex, while I was traveling in Mexico during a week. She understood that Rex is a young, energetic dog and took him on morning runs, which was perfect for keeping him happy and healthy. Marina sent me daily photos and updates, giving me complete peace of mind during my trip. She stayed overnight at my home with Rex and I returned to find everything exactly as I left it. Rex was clearly comfortable and happy with her (sometimes he doesn't eat while I'm away but he did!), which says everything about her natural way with animals. I would absolutely book her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!
