Individualized, Loving Pet Care
Pet care experience
I work hard to give you peace of mind while you're away. PLEASE READ FIRST: I work days Monday to Friday. I can care for your pet after work and possibly in the early morning before work depending on how far away you live from me. MY 4 PET-CARE PROMISES: #1. I pet sit because I absolutely love animals and caring for them. I take my pet sitting seriously while your pet is in my care. I ensure they are safe, well nourished. I ensure your pet has social interaction with me, and other pets at your discretion.. #2. I provide individualized pet care. I am 100% engaged with your pet while in my care. Your pet will have my undivided attention in my care: during dog walks, dog park visits, at home or during kitty care (cat feeding, litter box cleaning and play time). I don't have my nose in my phone while caring for you pet--unless I'm photographing your pet or communicating with you. #3.I provide high-touch communication. This means that you will be well informed as to your pet's daily activities as well as my schedule while you're away. I typically provide multiple updates per day including text messages & photos. #4. Your pet and home will be in safe responsible hands while you're away. You'll come home to a happy pet and tidy home.
Reviews
Finding quality pet care after moving to a new area is a challenge I'm sure many have faced. Rover helped connect us to Marina, but Marina has been the real star. We feel so lucky to have found a responsible sitter that can care for our dog (Tapas) and do it from our own house. Marina was more attentive than any sitter we've ever had. We appreciated the regular updates and photos greatly. Now it is just up to us to break the news to Tapas that his daily routine cannot be as exciting as when Marina was here.
Marina did a fantastic job helping me take care of my cat, when I was out of town for 9 days. She fed him, cleaned out the litter box, played with him, and even took amazing pictures of him. At the end of the 9 days, she went above and beyond and took care of the trash and recycling as well. She was everything I wanted for a cat sitter, and more. Highly recommend! 10 out of 5 stars!
Marina took very good care of my dog Tolly over the course of a couple days. Tolly is very stubborn and has a lot of energy. She also has a medical condition that makes eating solid food (and other solid things) life threatening ... so walks are hazardous and meal times are complicated. Marina went above and beyond to give my dog the care and attention she needed. She took her for many walks and updated me frequently with great pictures (no easy feat as my dog HATES the phone/camera). She made sure to ask me for the right details too to make sure she could give Tolly the care she needed.
Marina took great care of our dog and home.
