Animals are truly your best friends

Caring for animals brings immense joy and fulfillment to me. Providing a nurturing environment, tailored to each animal's unique needs, is a labor of love. From gentle touch to soothing words, every interaction strengthens the bond. Witnessing trust grow, health flourish, and personalities shine is profoundly rewarding. Ensuring their well-being, comfort, and happiness becomes an unwavering commitment. Tending to their physical needs – nourishment, hygiene, and safety – is fundamental. Caring for animals isn't just a responsibility; it's a privilege! Their unconditional love, loyalty, and gratitude remind us of life's simple beauty. While I’ve enjoyed working with animals, my son is now third year at Juilliard studying the violin, my daughter just started high school! And my husband is an ears nose and throat surgeon in the East bay… We’ve live on Potrero hill for 15 years. We enjoy tennis and Squash, going out to wonderful restaurants, snowboarding, skiing and travel!

Marina was very sweet and welcoming of Charlie & he clearly felt comfortable and enjoyed himself while staying with her for a few days. I really appreciated all of her pictures & updates too!

Our anxious little pup stayed with Marina for a week while we were on vacation and Marina was so wonderful, caring, and warm with her! Marina eased our worries about leaving her with someone new, and took great care to allow our dog to slowly warm up to her on her own time. By the end of the week, our dog was having the time of her life! Marina provided frequent updates, administered our dog's daily medication, checked in about any questions she had, and clearly loves what she does so much. Thanks so much Marina!!

Marina was very communicative and sent lots of photos! I even had to extend my trip a bit unexpectedly and Marina was so nice and accommodating. Thanks for giving lots of love to my pup; I’ll be back for sure!

Anxiety is a big one to know! Any allergic issue important! Behavioral issues: resource guarding: food or toys. Always good to let me know what a day is like at home, walks, potty breaks, meal times and where they love to sleep most!
