Pet care experience

W⃞    E⃞    L⃞    C⃞    O⃞    M⃞    E⃞    P⃞    E⃞    T⃞      P⃞    A⃞    R⃞    E⃞    N⃞    T⃞    S⃞    !⃞ My name is Marina 🐾 I have a background in Veterinary Science and worked in clinics for 3 years as well as volunteering at shelters, so I’m no stranger to dealing with animals that may have more difficult personalities. In my personal life I’ve cared for animals the last 7 years and professionally have been constantly surrounded by all sorts from cats to horses. I’m experienced dealing with animals that may require special care and I’m always willing to make sure pets are loved and taken care of just as their owner would in their absence. If there’s any general grooming/care that you need done let me know! I can trim nails, bathe, assist with dental hygiene, comb out and trim any difficult knots for my long haired friends as well as administer any oral or injectable medications whether it’s to maintain their shiny coats/flea and tick defense or because of health specific reasons. I also have some experience in Dog training, so during the duration that you’re gone, if requested, I can correct puppies on some behavior and show you it’s never too late to teach an old dog new tricks! I’ve raised 2 litters of kittens from birth, worked with friends to rehabilitate rescues, and have assisted with 4 different large breed dogs since they were puppies. I have even taken care of puppies with diseases such as Parvo, providing life saving CPR and additional medical attention. Honestly, I have a huge passion for animals and want every owner to know that no request is too big. I know how hard it is finding someone trustworthy to take care of your fur babies, especially when schedules can be unpredictable, but I’ll make sure the experience is great for both your pets and you! 🐩🐈

We found Marina to be a highly attentive pet sitter who took great care of our goldendoodle! She gave her plenty of exercise and attention, and was able to meet us at a pre-arranged spot to make things easier. Communication was always quick too. I highly recommend Marina and will definitely book with her again!

I definitely recommend Marina for pet sitting. I've had help from her a few times and she's always on time, super great with communication, and most of all my cats love her. She helped me out big time with my kitten when I first got him and he has a very hyperactive demeanor and sometimes difficult personality, so I think she's more than capable of helping out others and saving a lot of stress and anxiety from other pet parents!

𝓑𝓸𝓪𝓻𝓭𝓲𝓷𝓰 🏘️ If you plan on boarding, in my photos you can see a large ranch house that is entirely fenced in. Perfect for your pets big or small to run around all day! If you have an unsociable pet, I can arrange for them to be scheduled on days separate from other doggy visitors. 𝓑𝓸𝓪𝓻𝓭𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓽𝓻𝓪𝓷𝓼𝓹𝓸𝓻𝓽𝓪𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷 🚗 I currently work out of 2 homes for yours and my own convenience! You can either drop off your pet at my home in Duluth and I will drive to the main ranch house about 30 minutes out in my large big dog friendly SUV, or if you live close to the ranch location you may drop off your dog directly there where I will greet you! I can also pick them up from your home if that is what you’re comfortable with! 𝓗𝓸𝓾𝓼𝓮 𝓢𝓲𝓽𝓽𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓐𝓬𝓽𝓲𝓿𝓲𝓽𝓲𝓮𝓼 🎾 Because I have a large SUV, I can easily take your baby to the park if there’s any specific places they are usually walked and played with. I have professional experience with pets of all sizes and attitudes so any specific attention your pet requires I can give such as medication, bathing, general grooming. It’s important for me to keep clients homes the way it looked before I arrived so I’m okay with cleaning litters and picking up after whomever I have the pleasure taking care of!

Information Marina D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any disabilities or special needs that I should be aware of so that I know how to care for them properly (as well as traumas or preferences in people). It’s also helpful to have a general idea of their personality so I know how to properly keep them entertained and what activities I should do with them! If they have a harness and leash or any favorite toys make sure to bring them with you! Let me know if your pet has any allergies so that if they are spoiled with treats during their stay that it doesn’t affect them!

A typical day

I find it important to see what kind of energy level your pet has so I can have fun with them the way they like! For some that means getting them up and active and making sure all the zoomiez are accounted for. I might take them to the park if that’s what they typically enjoy, maybe just a stroll in the neighborhood and some laps around the backyard with their favorite toy. For others that might just entail giving them all the cuddles and attention they need and keeping them company while they nap. If you plan at boarding them with me, my property is entirely fenced in as well as having a park a mile from the home, so regardless of what you scheduled, your pet is guaranteed a secure and active stay. ??
