dogs are my best friends!

Pet care experience

I love dogs and cats and enjoy playing with them and going for long walks. I live next to Seaton Park and work from home so I can take dogs for walks in the park or to the beach any time, as frequently as they need. I live with my flatmate's dog, Russel and I frequently take care of him, so I am experienced in taking care of dogs and making sure their needs are met at all times. Russel gets on well with other dogs but it's a good idea to arrange a meet and greet before to make sure they get on. I have taken care of many dogs before and understand every dog has different needs, so I'd like to know about your dog's personality, preferences and training. Looking forward to meeting you and your four-legged friends! I wake up around 7 and take the dogs for a morning walk in Seaton or Sunnybank Park. I make sure to bring their favourite toys or tennis balls so they can get some exercise in the morning. I usually take them to a nearby dog area where they can meet other dogs and play with them. After we're back, I usually wait about half an hour and then feed them. After which we can either play in the garden or they can chill depending what they feel like and how tired they are. I then make lunch and after a couple of hours walk them again or go for a run along the beach with them if they enjoy it! I currently can run about 12 k so can accommodate big and high energy dogs <3 I love running with them! We then come back home chill together and have dinner in the evenings and then go for another walk before bed. I also have a big fenced garden so if the weather is nice I'll spend extra time outside with them. Here they can play off the leash since it's all fenced and safe and big enough to cover nice distances while playing fetch <3 I have an extra bedroom which is "the dogs room" they have all their bowls, toys and a big mattress to chill on there. Everything is also chewproof, as I have made sure there is nothing they can destroy there. While the dogs room is often their favourite space, they are allowed everywhere in the house and often end up following me wherewher I go, we chill a lot together in the living room and they are allowed on the couch (it's more like they own it by now!) as well as on the bed during the day :) I also have a garden which is completely fenced where they can enjoy playing and running about off the lead.

Marina is capable and good with dogs. She had two other dogs with her for a walk and managed to deal well with our Zeus at the same time the first time she had met him, and he is a 78kg Great Dane, so she obviously has a good way of managing them. I observed that she commands them efficiently and they respond well to her commands.

Marina is a lovely person and truly loves dogs. This was the first time Mally has been away from us but with the video updates we could tell that she was being well looked after and having fun. Would definitely recommend Marina to take care of your dog and will certainly be using her boarding services again. Thanks Marina x

A s we were in Aberdeen for an evening concert, and had our two dogs (Harrison and Honey) with us for the weekend, and so needed someone to look after them for us. Having found Marina through the Rover app, we chatted a few times in advance and then arranged to drop the dogs with her around 4pm and then pick them up again after the concert. She was very flexible on time we picked them up as well. Our two dogs also got on famously with Marina’s dog Molly, as well as another she was looking after, and we were sent several photos and videos of the small pack having a great time on a walk. Marina was absolutely lovely, and the dogs took to her so well, and we’d recommend her immensely.
