I work from home. This allows me to provide constant care and companionship for the animals I own and host. My dog is crate trained with walks in the morning, afternoon and evening. She gets enrichment activities/feeding while I’m away. I live in a pet friendly area that is great for walking.

Information Marina D. would like to know about your pet

No breed preference. I like to know about each dog's Temperament, allergies, medical concerns, habits, likes and dislikes when I am booked. When I first meet them, I let them get comfortable.

A typical day

I’ll take them on walks through interesting areas so they can get physical exercise and mental stimulation. If allowed we can go on outings to coffee shops, parks, etc.

Pet care experience

I love caring for animals and have experience with reptiles, dogs, and cats. I have also worked with horses, so I’m comfortable in any home setting. Like a lot of families, I have had different breeds of dogs since I was a child. I have one adopted dog: a 5 year old husky/Australian shepherd mix. 2 cats are also in my home. Every animal has its own shining personality. I take the time to allow animals to get comfortable with me then show them the care they need. I have a gated patio area that they can lounge on, and a green belt with connecting neighborhoods that make walks enriching.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
