Pet care experience

Grieving a pet loss, want to help!

I grew up with dogs around and found my soul mate dog in my early twenties. I rescued her from the humane association and we took classes on becoming a therapy dog. She passed too soon from an autoimmune disease about a year and a half ago. I miss having a dog to walk and spend time with. I hope to have a chance to spend time with yours!

Wouldn’t want anyone else checking on my dog in the middle of a long work day!! She is so sweet and intuitive with her :)

Marina was so sweet and willing to take my dog out for a walk in the rain. My dog gets excited to see her each visit :)

Marina is so sweet with my dog and is very responsive. She sent me a little update of how my dog did on the walk and shared a cute picture. I definitely recommend her for all your Rover needs!

We are beyond grateful to Marina for the outstanding care she provided for our dog, Amelia, while we were on vacation. Marina stayed in our home and treated Amelia like one of her own. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Amelia was not only safe, but truly loved while we were away. Marina’s communication was excellent. She kept us updated regularly, which made it so much easier to relax on our trip. She’s dependable, responsible, and has even helped care for Amelia during times when she wasn’t feeling well, showing patience and compassion every step of the way. Amelia absolutely adores Marina! Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just having her familiar presence around the house, we can always count on Marina to go above and beyond. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for loving, reliable care for their pet.

There’s no one I trust more with my dog, Vito, than Marina. She's incredibly responsible, attentive, and treats him like her own. Vito has multiple health issues and requires daily medications (which he isn't the best at taking!). She handles all of his health needs - and his weird quirks - with total care. I tend to have a lot of anxiety when leaving him for a few days, but when he’s with her, I never worry. I know he's safe, loved, and probably getting even more spoiled than when he's with me. She's watched him solo and with other dogs, and every time I have 100% confidence he's loving every minute of it. If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, you've found her!

Although I don’t have any other pets at home I want to know ahead of time how your dogs act around other dogs and children.
