Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Marina. I do pet portraits because I have a genuine love for animals. I went to school for painting and I am saving money towards getting my masters in art therapy here in D.C. . I have prior experience in pet sitting whether it’s staying overnight or just taking them for walks. As it is my job, I love getting to know each and every personality because it brings me so much joy and I truly care for their wellbeing. I can walk any size dog and have have experience with dogs both big and small. Since I am self employed doing pet portraits, I am very flexible with times and dates. I hope to see you and your pet soon! Please contact me any time!

Marina did a wonderful job with our little dog. Cashew liked her immediately and we knew we were leaving him in good hands. She sent us lots of photos and updates during the stay which we really appreciated!
